When I was 30 I thought I was so smart.
But in reality I was working a dead end, minimum wage sales job.
So when my dad pointed out the not insignificant gap between how highly I thought of myself and my position in life, I realised I needed to change.
I started by applying the same mindset I'd used in martial arts:
Always be a white belt.
Always be humble and willing to learn.
And on the recommendation of one of my martial arts teachers I bought the book The Success Principles by Jack Canfield which helped teach me how to think and act to be more successful.
Fast forward to 47 year old Andrew and I’ve done pretty well for myself.
So don’t let your starting position in life put you off.
We can all try to better ourselves.
Just be honest with yourself.
And good luck.
This phone just went 3 full days off the charger with 10 hours of screen on time and still didn’t die, sheesh
Very excited about the incoming generation of phones that all have huge 7000+mah batteries
Pakistan is known for peaks and politics. But there's another Pakistan.
A quieter one.
A wilder one.
Let me show you the side of my country most people never see.

سی ایس ایس میں عمر کی حد 35 اور 5 کوششیں ناگزیر ہیں۔ ترقی یافتہ ممالک جیسے برطانیہ (سول سروس میں کوئی عمر کی حد نہیں) اور امریکہ (عام طور پر 59 سال تک) اعلیٰ اہلیت کو اہمیت دیتے ہیں۔ ہمیں بھی اپنے بہترین ذہنوں کو ملک کی خدمت کا موقع دینا چاہیے۔
#Implement_CSS_Resolution
A delegation comprising student representatives and association members of the Aspirants of the CSS met with Hon. Syed Naveed Qamar, Member of the National Assembly (MNA), to deliberate on the pressing challenges faced by candidates of the Central Superior Services (CSS) examinations.
The discussion focused primarily on concerns regarding the current age limits and the number of attempts allowed for the CSS exam. The delegation highlighted the disproportionate impact of these restrictions on deserving candidates, particularly those from underprivileged and remote areas, who often face systemic disadvantages in preparing for the highly competitive examination.
Hon. Syed Naveed Qamar attentively listened to the delegation’s concerns and acknowledged the need for inclusive and equitable reform in the CSS examination process. He assured the visiting students of his full cooperation and support in bringing the matter to the relevant forums for policy consideration.
"The future of our civil service must be built on a foundation of fairness and equal opportunity," said Hon. Qamar. "I will raise these concerns in the appropriate legislative and governmental platforms to advocate for much-needed reforms."
The Aspirants of the CSS expressed their appreciation for the positive response and reiterated their commitment to continuing constructive dialogue with policymakers to improve access to civil service opportunities for all.

Here is a great example of a grown adult who has trouble controlling their emotions asking that a 2 year old’s emotions be better regulated. It’s public transport. Public can be loud. If you have issues, fly private 🤷🏻♂️

With no Official Title & Pay, he stands where others hesitate. Braving the fierce currents of the Swat River, he risks his life to recover the drowned not for reward, but out of pure humanity. A silent savior, driven by courage, not credit.
