Opinion: 


It's very strange that CIA has given the list of its agents working in Pakistan as I suspect that the list might be old one or those agents might be replaced by now because such intelligence agencies never expose these things. But even then Pakistani authorities should take action against them.
We as a nation should help our forces to counter such terrorists and enemies of state. And finally we see that someone from the defense has exposed USA & Britian policy against Pakistan Nuclear assets. Now its time that all the institutions & leaders of the state should take a stand against them & our media should cooperate with them.

GYLC (Pakistan) 2 - Lessons to Remember



From GYLC workshop I have learned many skills but two things which were the crux of that workshop were

  1. Building Leadership Skills
  2. Volunteering                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
LEADERSHIP

Leadership is defined as ''a process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task"


Leadership Skills: Leadership mostly involves the following skills....

  • Integrity - the most important requirement; without it everything else is for nothing.
  • Leading by example - always be seen to be working harder and more determinedly than anyone else.
  • Helping alongside your people when they need it.
  • Fairness - treating everyone equally and on merit. 
  • Backing-up and supporting your people.
  • Being decisive - even if the decision is to delegate or do nothing if appropriate - but be seen to be making fair and balanced decisions.
  • Asking for people's views, but remain neutral and objective. 
  • Always doing what you say you will do - keeping your promises
  • Taking notes and keeping good records
  • Planning and prioritising
  • Budgeting
  • Teamwork
  • Managing your time well and helping others to do so too. 
  • Encouraging your people to grow, to learn and to take on as much as they want to, at a pace they can handle.  

 VOLUNTEERING
