Need work-life balance? 7 tips

By Jeff Wuorio

Lisa McGonagle has a husband, three kids and a public relations business in Boston. Her hectic life speaks volumes about what time management means to her. As she puts it: “I’m running all the time.”
The same may apply to you. And that makes time management central to the health and growth of your life, profession, and business. Truth be known: Not everyone has a genuine handle on the effective use of time. So you’re not alone. If you can relate, here are seven suggestions that may, to paraphrase rocker Mick Jagger, help you get time on your side:

Pakistan Youth Bahrain is not just an organization in my point of view it’s a place which flourishes your love for your motherland. It’s a revolutionary change which will hopefully change the present perception of Pakistan in Bahrain. We rise or fall in any case we just have to be united. The essence of patriotism should be alive with in oneself. PYB will make sure this essence is there .Youth is the major portion of any nation. They are stronger, capable and innovative. Their innovation can bring positive changes. The more the youth are united the stronger a nation will be. We need to imply ourselves towards this new horizon.

I must confess here love for your country is not just waving flags on 14th August or any Pakistan day it’s something that is natural which is within yourself that is Patriotism. Love for one’s nation is the strongest feeling. It’s for me a never ending inspiration which will lead to positive sacrifice for your nation. PYB is the awakening Patriotism among the youngster of Pakistan in Bahrain & reminding them their obligation towards their mother land. We are what we are in where we stand and till we see all is Pakistan. We represent Pakistan in every part of the world. PYB is an individual step up, It can be taken as the group of socialites which are working whole heartedly for sake of Pakistan and its integrity. Quaid-e-Azam is our nation Hero; Father of the Nation laid the rules of UNITY, FAITH DISCIPLINE which should be the color of every citizen of Pakistan and PYB makes sure this happens.  All the Pakistanis in Bahrain should be respecting it as it’s the steps towards the road of prosperity. The dream of ALLAMA IQBAL is converted in reality only the efforts of youths and yet can make a better place to live through their enthusiasm and energetic souls. That is why PYB is working on the Youth based programs in Bahrain.
Being the youth of Pakistan it’s our moral and ethical responsibility to protect the image of our country. Our identity is Pakistan we should respect and make sure others do it as well.

Major goals of PYB are

-Youth Development & Training, Mentorship
- Volunteerism
- Entrepreneurship
- Women Empowerment
- Education & Healthcare
- Environmental & Social Welfare.

Its responsibility of every citizen to take part in PYB to make Pakistan a wonderland specially the youth as they are the backbone of the country.

PAKISTAN ZINDABAD.

The room was so beautifully decorated the architect was so enviable.
Every one would have dreamed about ……
I plunged more in to that dream ………the indoor plantation has caste a more of a shadow on my mind……the exotic interior with flawless setting it seemed a room of royal highness with all the luxury and comfort. What more should I define……it took me a lot of time to bring myself back ….from the illusion that was at my foreseen ……one thing I forgot to add here is it was central air conditioned……what more would a person wants to bring peace and sooth to his or her mind……after writing the detail everyone wants to know what I am talking in about it……its actually the place where most of the people sit in our country and make decisions about our life …..In such a comfortable place where they have no idea about the miseries of life of people and how they are suffering from it.

How can it be possible? When you have all the luxuries of life at your doorstep and think about others who don’t even have a brick to build a house or eat a piece of meal. I am here talking about all the welfare organizations as well who sit in comfort and make decisions about our future and have no time to implement it. Pakistan is a country where nowadays implementation is needed rather than decision making. Sitting in a close room all day deciding what has to be done when so many people forced to live in the sunlight.

Secondly a lot of money from government is being spent on the Safety and Guard of various politicians and people on the others sides are being martyred on the roadsides and public places as if their existence is not mattered to anyone ………Rules should same for every individual in a country as it is in the teaching of Quran & Sunnah. Islam is a religion of equality. A bigger sin also goes with them which is a lie. They stand on big platforms and promise people and never fulfill it them. Another bigger Sin in my perception is they play with the feelings of the people of the country. They create hopes in eyes of the people and forget them as if they have never uttered anything from their mouth.

A ruler is a servant of the people of Islam. Both the ruler and the ruled will appear before Allah and account for their actions on the day of judgments. The responsibility of the ruler is heaver than the ruled. The Islamic state shall ensure a fair distribution of wealth but opposite is being practiced in our country. Upper class has everything, lower middle class is running here and there to make both ends meet and last lower class is empty handed waiting for the decision to be made and implemented. Any ordinary citizen of an Islamic state has the right to ask any question on any matter to the ruler and the government. I have never seen this happening here. Islam recognizes the preference of one over the other only on the basis of Taqwa (piety or fear of God). One who fears Allah most is the noblest in Islam. Changes and decision are only successful once they are implemented with fear Allah Pak in your heart.

In 2005 Pakistan was struck by serve jolt of earthquake. Most of the devastation hit the north and the Azad Kashmir. Nearly 86,000 people died I guess uncountable were homeless and nearly 1 lac were injured. In Islamabad Margala tower collapsed resulting several residents killed. It is also estimated that half of the effectees from the earthquake included the children.
The massive floods that began to hit Pakistan in late July have afflicted the country extremely. Seventy-nine of the country’s124 districts (24 in Khyber Pukhtunkhwa, 19 in Sindh, 12 in Punjab, 10 in Balochistan and seven each in Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan) have been affected. Official estimates say 1,600 people have been killed and more than 17 million are affected by the catastrophe. The disaster has not only led to losses in terms of human casualties and large scale displacement but has also damaged the agricultural country’s major crops over an estimated area of more than 1.38 million acres which constitutes 30 per cent of Pakistan’s agricultural land.
This is the speculation report that I read from Dawn News. This catastrophic disaster took place in 2010 and still people are bearing its aftermath.
The question arises why is this happening? Why are we suffering through the wrath of Allah Pak.Harzat Ali R.A said “When some blessings come to you, do not drive them away through thanklessness.”
Similar is happening to our country ….we ourselves have created this all for us due to our sins and ignorance towards our religion ISLAM. As stated in the Holy Quran, “Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.” We are not fair with ourselves, our brothers, friends or anyone. We have become selfish as we only think about ourselves above all. I don’t understand in what state of mind the Muslims of Pakistan are. Nearly all the educational systems in flood prone area have collapsed, livestock, farms everything has come to an end. In all these areas people have to start their lives form beginning with still empty hands…We should all join ask mercy and forgiveness from Allah Pak and be united for the sake of this at least so more destruction does not fall upon our state. I wish and pray by heart that 2015 brings happiness and prosperity for the country as we have seen enough destruction. InshAllah Ameen

Perception is how you attain awareness .Toward my point of view its a gradual process but restricting yourself on certain scale that only things that you want to hear or see is type of perception. Its sort of filtering a psychological process that is running in your mind it may be conscious or unconscious. It allows a certain individual to understand what he or she wants to understand at a particular instant.

People have created their own sphere of knowledge for ISLAM and have put boundaries against so there is no space of new rules relating to life walk through. In some cases I think its proven to be wrong because people having such perception are not welcomed with the ideas of innovation of any sort.
I am not a fundamentalist and I really don’t believe in the idea of secularization of religion. I have mentioned the theme fundamentalism here as its only associates in our side of world with people who talk religion and take it very seriously. Our religion Islam is a practical religion. The dos and don’ts of this religion are very simple not at all complex.
I just want you all to answer why the process of acquiring senses for understanding or perception dies when we are called fundamentalists or extremists……..?

Our perception towards our religion is not clear……..vague. We alter it according to our worldly needs and situations in most cases. I have seen many people assuming at a particular point that they are so right but they are not. Rules of the religion are already laid in perfect manner, and are there for us to obey them…..            For example none of us actually knows when Jihad is Farz on us….everyone has created his or her perception about it.

I think we have restricted ourselves and especially our brains. We are only trying to understand what we want to about our religion. We don’t put ourselves in deep thought regarding it. It a very selfish act growing inside us….Please uproot this act from you so we can bring best for our next Muslim Generation………   I just don’t know what conclusion will you all perceive from here but I want you all to be sure that we are all going through this psychological process we are only understanding about our religion what we want no more no less…

The most complex structure of human body is human brian.Its very unique part of of human body as it has ability to think, imagine, control and speech. It controls body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate and breathing. It accepts a flood of information about the world around you from your various senses. It handles physical motion when walking, talking, standing or sitting. It lets you think, dream, reason and experience emotions.

The average human brain weighs about three pounds and comprises the hefty cerebrum, which is the largest portion and performs all higher cognitive functions; the cerebellum, responsible for motor functions, such as the coordination of movement and balance; and the brain stem, dedicated to involuntary functions like breathing. The majority of the energy consumed by the brain powers the rapid firing of millions of neurons communicating with each other.

All of these tasks are coordinated, controlled and regulated by an organ that is about the size of a small head of cauliflower! Your brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves make up a complex, integrated information-processing and control system. The scientific study of the brain and nervous system is called neuroscience or neurobiology. I think I have given you enough information about the brain in the terms of science especially human anatomy………

Adding to that mystery is the contention that humans “only” employ 10 percent of their brain. If only regular folk could tap that other 90 percent, they too could become servants who remember π to the twenty-thousandth decimal place or perhaps even have telekinetic powers. Yet the are many humans who are calculators and are able to make calculation in air. Ufffffffffffff I have given you enough aren’t you tired of this ………All I am here to tell you that there is no scientific myth explaining that 10% of your brain is used so please use more of it.

The 10% myth mostly is misrepresentation of neurological research undertaken in the late 1800s or early 1900s when researchers either discovered that only about 10% of the neurons in the brain are firing at any given time, or announced that they had only mapped the functions of 10% of the brain at that time. There is not a direct relationship between the performance of the brain and its level of activation. So let’s leave the myth and think more to use your brain. If 90% of your brain would have been use d you would have left with the thinking power of sheep. (Dr.Chudler PhD Research Officer &Professor at university of Washington).According to him 100% brain is at the function based on how much blood is directed there. We are not sheeps we are human better capable .We can be distinguished if we use more of it. Let the “the men behind the machines not the machines behind the men” this can be done if we only DRAIN THE BRAIN………

Perfection in life is very important. It can be only done when we learn our responsibilities and how we pursue toward them. Perfection may lead us to an ideal life if we take it in right pattern. Studies of various Anthropologists show us that civilizations of past that have excelled had some perfection in their natures which lead them to grow. So perfection does involve meaning in our lives but we should not take it as matter of life and death. Obsession of perfection is wrong

I have seen people arranged their lives in a perfect cycle and if anything alters in their life or that cycle they frustrated. We should therefore open our selves to changes because our life goes through them all the time. This is what I believe…… It’s actually good if we stick ourselves to rules but going all the time for 99% right and thinking about 1% makes wrong will lead us to problems. Firstly you’ll not be able to concentrate on what you are doing as that 1% is always running at the back of your mind. We are always taught by our parents and teachers that we should be perfect in very thing. They say this because they anticipate good results from us and their duty as they are responsible for our futures. I am not asking you to stop yourself from being ambitious but be normal and trust yourself. People have become IMPERFECT in order to become PERFECT.

Another problem with people taking perfection too much seriously that they think very high of themselves. One thing should be kept in mind as by the law of nature we are created equal by Almighty ALLAH. The people around us are just like us normal human beings. Mistakes are made and each time we make one we learn from it .Its is yet another step toward progress. We should take things positively and should not make blunders out of small mistakes in order to attain perfection. Man since its creation is striving itself for the perfection. It increases its wants, desires and in order to fulfil his achievements of perfection he forgets the difference between “sins” and “rights”. These ideas which are embedded in our brains should be uprooted. We should be contented with what we have. Instead of” BEAUTY “Perfection is in the eye of the beholder and should be taken, not with what everyone else believes are perfect, but with what you see as the perfect you.
