How I grew up taking Religion for granted - Maybe you did too?

How I grew up taking Religion for granted - Maybe you did too?
                                       
1. Beta Lying is bad but if that specific uncle shows up, tell him I am not at home. (So indirectly we communicate lying can be practiced if we want to or feel like it.)

2. Sharam Nahi Aati Kya Dekh Rahey Ho?! (Don't you dare to look at me) and then we have to wait for a family shaadi to see exactly the things we were told not to see.

3. Beta we should follow Sunnah & the Holy Quran to guide us with life.
Me: I want t get married yara!
Dad: Yea just get established and settled finically first phir dekhte hain. (Get establish financially then we will see)

4. Rizk Aur Maut Maqarar Hai (Food & Death is in the hand of destiny) BUT beta becomes a doctor, they earn more and if that didn’t work, does Chartered Accountancy or whatever will allow you to make more money.

5. And the family Mufti's (That one person in every family who is so interested in nitpicking and demotivating a youngster doing something positive.)

While growing up, we have all experienced such events and many more and questioning in our society is so scary that we can ask a million questions about everything now but when you have a question about religion, you keep it in your heart and with time it becomes a habit of ignorance.


Let ourselves be the Shift !!!

School is FAILING Entrepreneurs Every Single Day

The title arose a question : Did school fails you or you failed School? School is failing entrepreneurs every single day because it's not build for entrepreneurs, it's build for workers. We are being taught to play within the lines. There is nothing being taught that maps to the entrepreneurial market. As a matter of fact my biggest cynicism when I sit across an entrepreneurs today as if they are to successful at school. I probably look at grads starting start up right now with more of negative light than I do somebody who wasn't as good, Why?. Why, Because what I have learned over the last few years and by the way I have taken a step back on this because there are too many entrepreneurial friends who have gone to great school that have been successful. So this is not a blanket statement, but I will tell you that in a world of private schools, in a world of mommy and daddy having a lot of connections. That when you go from 12,15, 18 years of the transport system an...

DOUBLE STANDARD

DOUBLE STANDARD It's not that hard to know that we live in a society where double standards are at the core of everything, we will want an educated wife and not allow her to work, we will want good politicians but won't want our kids to be the one's to change the systems in place cause it too risky, we will make fun of our cricket team and expect them to give us our best, we call male/female instrument of pleasure for many models and a loved while if they becomes instrument of pleasure to one they become an escort/prostitute and a symbol of hate. In fact we use religion too as a tool to emotional blackmail, exploit and win arguments may it be personal or political.   We will have to start thinking, because if we don't have the ability to think then 100 years of freedom wouldn't bring us any good.

WHAT PEOPLE WILL THINK & SAY

We sometime don’t think about ourselves and think on this sentence “what people will think and say” which is big problem for us. Many question arises which we don’t think of i.e. what is good for us? What think will get us to benefit? Besides these question we think “what people will think and say”? Mostly each of our progress, inspiration, motivation has a source of hidden story behind, and to achieve that we need to be very motivated, inspire and to show up bravely. But we often hear these kinds of sentence from our friends, our parents and peers that “what people will think and say” Become a Doctor or Engineer because these people feel happy and survive in this universe. If you don’t made it then “what people will say”? If you do something different then “what people will say”? If you go for Art or Humanities then “what people will say”? If boy/girl, he or she chose their partner then “what people will say”? How have dressed up? “What people will say”? How are you behaving ? “w...
