Today is a day to take an oath. Whatever be the government, be it of your choice or not, Its the nation which is bigger than the individual. We should work for achieving the dream of a SOCIETY free from fear, free from terrorism, free from communal riots and free from food and water scarcity.
When I look back, I feel that, we have come a long way in the since independence. We have achieved so many things on our way. But, is it enough? Not at all. Infact, the last couple of years has changed Pakistan from what it ought to have been. It is so different from the dreams of both Jinnah as well as Iqbal. There have been many turn around, sacrifices, wrong doing, wrong decisions, betrayals, many valour and what not.
We could have achieved so many. Yet, so little has been. We have not lived upto our potential. We have a hard task ahead. Yet, it is not unreachable.
Each one of us have a job at hand. We have a common responsibility.
We need to give the next generation a proper environment. Motivate them, Extend them the support they need. Each one of them have an infinite source of energy. Teach them entrepreneurship. Teach them not to give up, instill courage as their conviction.
Don't feed fish to them. Teach them fishing. They will bring whales in return.
Today is a day to remember the sacrifices made to realise our freedom. The price our fore-fathers paid to achieve. It was not just the Jinnah or Iqbal who got us the freedom. It was a national achievement by the collective efforts of innumerable citizens both at home and abroad. Patriotism is not anyone's monopoly. Anyone who is true to Pakistan is patriotic. Anyone who pays his tax is patriotic. Anyone who doesn't do corruption is patriotic. Its every parents responsibility to give the nation a responsible citizen.
Every parent should teach them the truth. Teach them the philosophies of both Jinnah and Iqbal. Teach them not to do their blunders. We have enough of them.
We need to take an oath. We will not do the same historical blunders and resolve the present crises.
Like Martin Luther King said, we have a dream, and in the end, we shall overcome. Yes, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die. For all of us. Never Never Never Give up !!!
Think Big and Dare to Dream. The future is ours. We cannot rewrite Pakistan's history. But, we can surely make Pakistan's future history.
Pakistan Zindabad.
Yes you Can Do it ...
Its your Turn to Turn Pakistan.
