 " Fail to push past your limits and you’ll leave your dreams unrealized" The only thing stopping you from reaching your goals and dreams are your limits. It’s when you meet the limits that you feel resistance and things you want seem harder to achieve. Whether it is fear, doubt, physical abilities or some other mental block, it can present a huge barrier to getting what you want. 1. Find someone to help push you Just that little bit of support encouraging you to keep going in the face of resistance can mean so much. Having someone on your side can counter-balance any  negative thinking you might have . They can tell you to do more and push you into doing things outside of your comfort zone. 2.Work on your weaknesses Where there are weaknesses, there are limits. Think about a marathon runner. They won’t be able to train very well for a marathon if they can’t find a good running stride or have bad nutrition. These are big areas of weakness that just makes

College dropout Waqas Ali cofounded Markhor, a luxury men's shoe brand to promote Pakistan's indigenous shoe craft. The brand retails online, cutting out the middle-man and helping small-time artisans make a profit. Initially funded through a Kickstarter campaign, Markhor has worked with over 100 craftsmen and craftswomen in the country. Markhor is the first Pakistani startup to be accepted into -- and backed by -- Y Combinator. In 2012, the duo launched Markhor — an online shoe brand that connects indigenous shoe-making craftsmen to global customers — but their journey was not a walk in the park. “The idea started with our small digital media company that provided assistance to people who were not familiar with technology. We would train them on how to use the internet for communication and business proposals,” recalls Ali. It was during this time that they first met Hussain who was striving to keep the craft of shoe-making alive and was convinced the internet was

From the footpaths of Karachi’s Lyari to the Bronze Medal Stand of Seoul Summer Olympics 1988, Syed Hussain Shah has had a tiring yet fulfilling journey burdened with challenges and difficulties. However, all the childhood hitches and early troubles failed to pull him back from his dreams and led him to what no other Pakistan could have achieved.  He’s not just a boxer in the rink but a fighter against troubles of life. He started off as a homeless laborer in Karachi and sits proudly as a professional boxing trainer in Tokyo, with Pakistan’s highest civil award Sitara I Imtiaz pinned to his shoulder and countless medals to his credit for his impeccable realm for a decade on the international boxing front.

Imagine an education system where up to a certain grade, all subjects are taught. Based on students grades in the subjects, students are given a choice to pursue their education in future grades. Alongside these compulsory subjects, some optional subjects are also taught such as life, relationship, money or perhaps success. I believe students will have a better chance of succeeding in practical life after completing their education. The reason why I have expressed my views about the education system is that there is something wrong with the current system. It is not producing thinkers, innovators, and even leaders. I believe, it is only focused on producing workers and that too, the best of the best with excellent grades. This is why there is a big gap between the industry and academia. Those who are a misfit to sail through grades afters grades just because they can't ace a few subjects which they don't even like studying, such students are unable to p

Let me share something interesting with you which I have experienced in my life. You have to do a lot of hard work if the purpose of your life is not clear. In contrast, You only have to do smart work if the purpose of your life is clear because you only work towards that particular objective. Smartness does not equal intelligence, this is something discovered by researchers not so very long ago. It was revealed that intelligence is the ability to acquire new knowledge and the necessary skills to use it. On the other hand, smartness has been defined as a collection of often counter-intuitive traits that help you to reach your goals. This proves that you do not need to be a highly intelligent person to be genuinely smart. If you are smart, it means you have the ability to think rationally through a problem instead of taking mental short-cuts. Don’t thrive hard to find your HOW, instead focus on finding your WHY. Now that may take you a little while in marching to

What impact has the ongoing conflict in Kashmir had upon the people of the region? Are there steps that can be taken to help resolve this longstanding dispute between India and Pakistan? The problem in Kashmir, as observed, is often represented primarily as a matter between India and Pakistan and framed around the issues of the legitimacy of Kashmir's accession to India at independence.
