1/ What a #coach does is widely available on the internet. What is not available, however, is #empathy and experience. It is not easy to see yourself as a third person when you have not practised the art of reflection - the only way of improving yourself daily.
2/ Why do you need a coach? Why does anyone need a coach?
Because no one else will take interest in the small movements of your day, the hidden nuances of your tone and the moments of self-doubt hindering potential the way a coach will.
A coach has to, it's their job.
3/ A coach can be your sounding board or give you bitter reality checks. The dynamics of the equation are to be decided by you. But, the end goal is, 'we need to make each session effective and end on a call to action'.

One thing he knows how to do better than anyone else is the ability to make the masses ask the right questions.

China is a superpower, economic & political, & also Pak’s time-tested neighbouring friend. By mutually beneficial cooperation, which creates a win-all situation, without putting either at a disadvantage, both 🇵🇰 & China will gain from China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).(1/n)
2. Cooperation is a key concept in the global economic world today. The world GDP values $87.8T (2019). However, this has been marked by intricacies. China’s economy has a 16.3% share of the global GDP (pre-COVID), second only to the United States.

Universities play a vital role in developing a nation. It's in environments like these that the future is nurtured. Extra attention needs to be given to the infrastructure, faculty & research.

2. As the cold war began b/w the Soviet Union & US, Afghanistan became important.

3. The focus was to counter the spread of communism into South Asia & the Persian Gulf.
In 1953, Richard Nixon (US VP at the time) made an official diplomatic visit to Kabul.

Pakistan was made by the sacrifices of countless brave men, women & children. Among them is the blind, unwavering support of a sister who stood beside her brother like an iron wall.
Fatima Jinnah reflects the strength of our women.
But, what are we doing to them in return?
2. The appalling stats that represent a fraction of the cruelty that’s taking over our streets are a result of a systematic failure.
But, these stats don't represent their potential, it shows our inability to protect and support them.
3. Women are leading different industries in & out of Pakistan each day.
