Power is essentially amoral and one of the most important skills to acquire is the ability to see circumstances rather than good or evil.

Power is a game—this cannot be repeated too often—and in games you do not judge your opponents by their intentions but by the effect of their actions.

I can't stop thinking about this...

Michael Caine on his defining philosophy on life:

Use the Difficulty

As a young actor, he was rehearsing a play scene when a chair got stuck in the door and blocked his path.

He told the other actor he couldn't get by the chair to enter the room in the scene.

The actor's response:

"Use the difficulty...if it's a comedy, fall over it, if it's a drama, pick it up and smash it."

This idea—of using the difficulty—became a defining mantra for Michael Caine's life.

"There's never anything so bad that you cannot use that difficulty...if you can use it a quarter of one percent to your advantage, you're ahead, you didn't let it get you down."

This idea hit me hard...

How can you use the difficulty you're currently facing?

How can you embrace the struggle?

How can you find flow through the friction?

How can you sow the seeds of your light during the periods of darkness?

As with everything in life, control the controllable:

The difficulty is already there, you can't control it.

You can control how you react to it.

You can control your response to it.

You can control your attitude towards it.

Lesson: Difficulty is inevitable. Use it.

UN chief "horrified" by attack on an ambulance convoy outside Al Shifa hospital in Gaza.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I am horrified by the reported attack in Gaza on an ambulance convoy outside Al Shifa hospital.

Now, for nearly one month, civilians in Gaza, including children & women, have been besieged, denied aid, killed & bombed out of their homes.

This must stop.

[Umar Saif @umarsaif]

The Prime Minister has approved and appreciated our plan for the Ministry of IT and Telecom:

1. Enhance IT exports by institutionalising dollar retention accounts, IT corporate debit cards to enable easy flow of money in and out of retention accounts, streamlining tax issues and training 200,000 IT professionals to add $5 Billion to IT exporters.

2. Bring PayPal and Stripe to Pakistan and establish co-working spaces for 500,000 freelancers to increase their potential to additional $3 Biliion per year

3 Launch Starlink in Pakistan to improve connectivity throughout the country.

4. Launch government-backed Pakistan Venture Capital Fund to attract top-tier international VCs to Pakistan. Enable $1 Billion VC investment in startups.

5. Enable active spectrum sharing, forward-looking taxation policies, regulations and incentives for the telecom industry to prepare for the upcoming 5G auction within 10 months.

6. Incentives for local manufacturing and export of smart phones in Pakistan, as well as smartphone financing platform (so that people can easily get phones on monthly instalments) to enhance local demand.

Excited to take this agenda forward on full speed …

[Scheehan @schehani]

To move forward, we must formulate strategies and execute them effectively to pursue the objectives and goals set in alignment with our vision and mission. It is possible if we are truly convinced of where we really want to go and when. Purpose, Passion, and Direction needed.

[Scheehan @schehani]

In order to improve our gender parity index in coming years, we need to conduct gender audit, like financial audit, of all public sector organisation, at least once a year, to see how each organisation has progressed in removing gender barriers and created level playing field.

[Scheehan @schehani]

If we really want to practically examine how countries stand in terms of gender parity index, we need to audit public sector first. It should actually lead the transformation.

[Scheehan @schehani]

There is a BIG Difference between Gender Analysis and Gender Audit.
The former is a broad term, and deals with gender relationships in terms of their roles, responsibilities, status, power, and control of resources. The latter term audits an organisation from gender perspective
