Students Need Stress Management!

There is a difference between learning and school. School is where you have info and random facts shoved down your throat and you are forced to memorize them, answer the questions on a test, then you never use that info ever again. Learning is where you go and actually experience the world and you meet people and you learn about accepting each other and standing up for what you believe in and you see new cultures and new things and you LEARN. Seven hours at school and four hours of homework each night isn't going to teach students anything. Several surveys into occupational wellbeing name academics as one of the most stressed professional groups.You need a certain amount of stimulation just to get out of bed in the morning for lectures or work. But how much is too much? Stress can take control of you unless you take control of it. Manage time to manage stress :  Effective time management is a key approach to preventing avoidable stress.  Keep yourself organized and plan ...

Islamic Economic System- Perfect Balance

Firstly, let me define Economic system: An organized way in which a state or nation allocates its resources and apportions goods and services in the national community. A few years ago one could have indeed argued that capitalism has succeeded in the industrialized countries of the Northern Hemisphere. But even in the countries with high per capita income there were and still are tremendous disparities. Under capitalism wealth is not evenly distributed and even in the USA, 25% of the people live below the poverty line. Can we really say that we have an ideal or even a well-working economic system when millions of people are struggling just to survive? The current global financial crisis underscores the inequality, fragility and unpredictable future of the capitalist economic system.  While the US government gets ready to bail out banks and financial institutions that have failed due to their reckless greed, no one is there to save the thousands of ordinary people who are a...

My Grass Is More Greener!

The Grass is always greener ( in short) or The Grass is always greener on the other side is a psychological syndrome.The base of the “grass is greener syndrome” is the idea that there is always something better that we are missing. So rather than experiencing stability, security, and satisfaction in the present environment, the feeling is there is more and better elsewhere, and anything less than ideal won’t do. Whether it’s with relationships, careers, or where you live, there is always one foot out the door.The two main problem with this are fantasy and fear. The fear comes from several possibilities, including fear of being trapped in commitment, fear of boredom, fear of loss of individuality, and fear of oppression.Along with these fears comes the issue of compromise. In people who fear commitment, comprising certain desires, needs, and values for the sake of the unity can feel like oppressive sacrifice. When this happens, the perception is that there is something else out there t...

The Psychology Of Terrorism

The Supportive theory of Psychotherapy concentrates on the fact that any mental patient can be treated if the person starts to talk and start to express their feelings.The first step of this therapy is known as "Ventilation" in which the patient is let to express the feeling.Which boost the self esteem of the person and then it helps to build hope.In this manner the person feel relax in expressing the feelings.But when the person going through depression or mental trauma and the person is not allowed to talk or express then it's the time the person will burst and can become violent.Most of the people who keep quiet at that time will become violent and dangerous. Now look at the statistics by US Drone Strike Statistics,according to the New America Foundation(As of 25 December 2013). I want you to look at the civilians and unknown column.The statistics shows that 286 civilians are killed in drone attacks and 274 unknown people were killed in drone attacks.It has been ...

Valentine's Day ! Who is Earning...Who is Suffering ?

"The Intelligent will not die hungry unless the fool is alive"  What has happened to the world? Why they always follow a particular trend of the world? Why nobody wants to be a "Voice" and everybody is trying to be an "Echo"? Many of these questions make my Blood pressure to increase day by day.I felt that this is the problem of my country or my nation but as I am not suffering from Myopia ,I look around the world and got the same result, everybody is suffering from this. Like in my Country every month is fixed for a particular trend and who is earning from them? The one who they feel their enemies.Like the electricians and China earned a lot when in recent months people were following a trend to decorate their streets and houses...I am talking generally because I noticed and I can bet that after few more years it will be compulsory for everyone to decorate the house and street otherwise they will be considered the person who Hate more then Love. ...

The Psychology Of The Slaves

150 Years ago it was a time when labours were needed for the parks and river along the Mississippian river that's why the officials went to Africa.In African woods they had dungeons , in which mostly there are three rooms for the prisoners or slaves.In one room there were man , in one there were women and in other one there were children.The people were caught just like the elephants are caught with the help of trap , then they are were kept there for months and years.The children cries but the parents were not  able to do any thing , the women were picked for Luxury but the husbands were not able to do anything, the e and man were beaten up brutly but the wife and mother were not able to say a single word.Like this way they are kept and then they ask them to do the work and at last they agreed and do the work which was wanted from them and they are loaded in the ship and transported to the Mississippian river.This is the psychology of Slavery that keep them badly , just allo...

Twenty Minutes with a Primary Teacher

People are always right when they say that “Few minutes with a wise and honest person can give you more lessons than hours of books”. Truly you will get more motivation from honest people and they can show you the way to live in life and also live in people’s mind after death. There has always been a great debate in Pakistan that which education system we have to follow and moreover there is another debate of private and government education institutions. In Pakistan approximately all people will feel that the private institutes are better than the government schools or colleges but again I have a different theory. According to me the private institutes has the main object to make money and also I feel the civilization has to be done by the government, no other sector can do that. But one thing is right that right now the government schools are not working as they should be but instead of adopting another system why we don’t try to fix the existing system??? A Primary School in Pa...

Love Is All About...

Everybody in this world defines "Love" in different words.For Poet it is the person on which he writes poem,for travellers it is the destination, for sunflower it is the sun , for river it's the sea , for Obama it is the war , for me it is the peace , for mother it is her child and so on.But in all the cases some words are common so I define the word in that manner.Love is all about understanding, giving , caring , respecting a person without any bad intention or financial benefit.I love if we see our love in pain , we feel the same pain.We cry when we see them crying or sometimes just by thinking them in trouble.We fight with the person who fight with our love , we like the things that are related to that person.Everybody shows the love in their manner, some show the respect, some show the care , some just follow, some by praying and some show by the support. There was a person from we can learn what the real love is about.He cried for us, lived the whole life prayin...

Till Now No Merit in Pakistan...

Who is scoring with distinction and who is getting the jobs???? I scored 88 in NTS test , no male candidate has scored that in Test in whole Sindh and only one female scored more than that. NTS merit list visible on their website Some candidates despite having 66 marks are getting the job and who is scoring 88 still not deserve to be a government teacher. This one picture showing the candidates who got the job in my Union council.It is clearly visible that these candidates scored less than me but still got the job while the RSU(Reform support Unit) officer was very keen saying that Merit will win. Go on alif bay pe yakeen...Go on.

Reactance : Doing the Opposite

We have seen that children often do the exact opposite of what they are ask to do.The wife is often heard saying to the husband, from the first day of marriage "Why you always disagree with me? Why you always do the exact opposite of my wish ? This is psychology of human being that sometimes they do the exact opposite of what they were ask to do.Another way we can get this by saying that people often to the same thing which they were not allowed to do.This is because of "Reactance" , it is human behaviour when they see that somebody is restricted them or somebody is snatching their freedom, so people do the exact opposite.In reactance people normally does the wrong thing, like children do the wrong thing when they dis obey their elders.I see that normally the reactance is bad for the individual or the group committing the reactance, If we see that it is good for us then we don't have to go opposite. Lets read what The great leader , Most brave person said o n the ...

Pakistan: In Search of Heroes

It is very common to hear that the children are not willing to learn and are not serious for the studies.As I see that my own brother is not very serious about his studies, he plays Cricket more than the studies.It is very easy to blame all the comforts given to the children nowadays but my theory is little bit different.When I study this case psychological, I came to a good reason behind that.Children or teen follow the marks of the person whom they see famous , respectable and successful.In today's society who is respectable? Cricketer, Actor ,the one who does the morning show, Big businessman , Singer and the list goes on, have you ever heard a person in Pakistan who is famous for doing studies or famous due to courage to speak truth or a brave person? 99% will reply in negative, It is a bitter truth. When I was growing up, I have many role models for me or What many people says "Heroes".When I was young I just wanted to be in Army or Air force and wanted to lay dow...

The Loss Of Soul In Education

It has been a great debate over the last few years and before that also, that technology has serve the humanity or it looses the charm from the humanity.For example, we observe that the old music or songs seems to be more soulful and the recent songs looses their charm in very short period of time.Why is that so? Some say that because of many musical albums people forgets the song very soon, some say that this is not good music or voice, some say people want freshness but as always I have a different theory.I think that due to the use of digital music instead of playing the instrument together, songs looses the beauty and soul that is why we say the old is gold or say them that they are evergreen songs.What I want to say is that use of technology helps us in many ways but due to it's over usage everything seems to be meaning less and sweet less. The same applies in education also , due to the introduction of technology the humanity has built themselves in many waves but in a la...

Don't Worry....Be Happy !

Along with the many bad things, the corporatism has largely increase the sadness or what psychologist says , depression .There was a time when the people were happier than they are now.Many people will oppose me but what i am saying is true.The expansion in the media especially the news casting media , people are much likely to be depressed.People will say that the media shows the truth ....whats wrong in that?Yeah i agree that the news media shows the truth but as we all know that today our society has negative more than the positive.I relate that with a example that the water sewerage system is also a truth of society and we can not ignore that but it is useful and bearable when it is hidden , if it has made open will it help society? No. Another thing which is important that by explaining bad to people we can't stop that bad thing but by preaching the good among people will increase the good among them. I know i can not change it by writing a blog but what i can do i will try...

Thank You Sir !

I was very worried at that time , the college timings were going to end but i was not able to ask the question i wanted to ask.At last myself and my friend Arif were free from all the classes and then i asked him to go with me to ask that question.It was an afternoon in 2008 and i was in D.J Sindh Govt. Science college , completing the last year of BSc.The worry was that i just started the teaching and then i was stuck in a topic's basic understanding.The Topic was "Phase Angle" and i was unable to understand the basic idea behind "Initial phase angle".We met with few teachers to get the basic idea of the topic , one teacher said "it is impossible to define everything in Physics", one  teacher explained the mathematical definition and what one teacher said was flown away above my head.When we were leaving the department of Physics ,I saw him and thank God that time because i was sure that then i will have the right answer.I asked the same question fro...

Let's Play Some More Politics

Continued from  Let's Play Some Politics 6. Ask for way more than you want at first then scale it back later :If you want a specific work from the person then first ask him/her a work that is much more difficult than the desired work.Remember aim high so that the person reject your request.Now it’s the time to counter back, now ask a relatively easier work , the work that was actually desired.Now the person will feel bad after rejecting the first request so he/she will consider and agree the work you wanted. For example, a teacher can ask the students to solve 10 questions in an assignment, the students will try to reject so now you can ask for 8 questions that was actually your goal.This time students will agree.Same as the boss or captain can ask the team members to report at 8 A.M , the members will reject , now ask them to come at 9 A.M and that was the actual time you wanted everybody to come.So, aim higher than your goal. Aim high on start 7. Flattery will ac...

Let's Play Some Politics

In today’s world everybody refers Politics as the bad element of society; that is not correct. I know that the politicians are using the politics badly or for the bad but politics it’s self is very good and need of everybody. As i define , Politics is the method or approach to make the people work for the betterment of ourselves and for themselves. I am not discussing the politics related to make a place in the government, i am discussing the politics among people. Some can say what i am going to speak is the management but let’s refer this as Good Politics. If you are a leader, Captain, Teacher, member of a team , father , mother , mentor or just a person you must have to deal with the variety of people. Sometimes you have to take work from them or sometimes work with them. So the points i am sharing with you , will help you to make them work for their and your betterment. 1.       Use the person’s name, or their title : This will work with the psychology...
