If I were to condense this whole article in one word then that magic word would be VISION. It is good to have vision because that’s the only way that leads towards ones mission. As we all know if you don’t have a plan then you literally planning to fail. That’s unfortunately is the situation of our youth. Good one bro keep up the good work. This is only way one can bring positive change in society

All i`m thinking right now is that `is this guy another big talker or is he different`. I mean really tell me what contribution do you have in making your country(nation) a better place?

P.S i`m really looking forward to hear some special stuff from you that will move your readers for sure.

Akbar Mian,

You have a lot of energy; so much energy that your thought process if correctly conveyed through this article is as uncontrollable and untamed as is your article. Your ideas are not bad, but still need refinement and are needed to be translated into clear objevtives. Keep writting as it will let your steam off, and then you will start to see things clearly and in balanced and practical manner instead of your current vision, which frankly speaking seems blurry.

``True modernity`` may be a distant desert mirage for us Bedouin Muslims -- let`s just go for a `semblance of modernity` -- by AT LEAST putting the Muslim Religion in the Masjid -- and the Muslim Army in the barracks.......where they really belong -- and the journey will begin...
