I am doing a lot in my capacity


Stand up and be counted!

All of them stood up on their seats and waited to be counted, no one dares to walk out and actually see if there is some one to count even or who will count them and what is his credibility?

Our youth has been nurtured to a point where no one is ready to take the lead! its not that they are afraid to lead, they are just not able to comprehend that some one as normal as them, or as ordinary as them can also be a leader. The term leader in Pakistan is unfortunately been used in a very different context, Leaders in our country means Landlords and Feudal.

Those who should have been by now the richest and most efficient producers of rice, wheat, sugar, cotton etc had such a tunnel vision that instead of excelling in their business and industry they ventured into politics and the result?? Inefficient agriculturists and inefficient politicians! We have to import rice, wheat and sugar etc and political policies too, if not politicians themselves.

Hence, whenever some one speaks about "find a leader from yourselves," our middle/upper middle class youth never feels that is has the required credentials for the post because in the subconscious mind the image of a leader is someone who had a titanium spoon in his mouth at the time of birth.
The people with a soft corner for Pakistan and about the nation always have a sentence to make them feel that they have done a lot for their country by saying "we are doing a lot in our capacity, we make sure we don't litter on streets and we also reach office on time." It has to be noted by everyone that at this junction of history we can not afford self centered soldiers! Doing good for yourself is excellent but in a scenario where every thing is stabilized, functioning smoothly and well set, because doing the best in your own capacity will mean that you are making sure that the systems are maintained standards don't fall.
We are in a state of position where extra steps need to be taken, where only a self centered approach wont work! We have to come out of our skins and work collectively in the same direction so that the generation after us can make sure that "just doing a lot in their capacity" will be good enough to ensure prosperity of the nation.
And to achieve what has been said in the para above we have to find new leadership and join the few existing leaders who have a vision for the nation and who just did not join politics to ensure that imports of sugar can be banned whenever they want so that their stock from sugar mills sells at double the prices or they can acquire state owned land at 5% of its market value.
