زاد الاردن -

طارق الحميدي - بالتزامن مع البدء بتنفيذ قرار منع التدخين في بعض ألاماكن العامة التي اعلنت عنها وزارة الصحة سابقا ومنها المولات ما زال المدخنون يتجولون في بعضها منذ صباح اليوم الأول لبدء تنفيذ القرار غير مكترثين به .
وكانت وزارة الصحة حددت اليوم الأول من آذار أول يوم لتنفيذ قرار منع التدخين في المولات ومطار الملكة علياء باعتبارها أماكن عامة استنادا لقانون الصحة العامة رقم 47 للعام 2008.
وأكدت الوزارة في حينها أنها خاطبت إدارات المولات من أجل الشروع بتنفيذ القرار وتشكيل اللجان لمتابعة منع التدخين بداخلها بالإضافة لوضع الخطط وتعليق اليافطات المكتوب عليها ممنوع التدخين في أماكن بارزه وواضحة .
ومع دخول القرار حيز التنفيذ ومنذ صباح اليوم الأول رصدت منبر الرأي حالات في بعض المولات لموظفين أو متسوقين يحملون السجائر في أروقة وممرات المولات ويدخنون بشكل علني بالرغم من تأكيد الوزارة على منع التدخين في الأسواق والمولات وتغليظ العقوبة على المدخنين فيها .
ويعاقب قانون الصحة العامة المدخنين غير الملتزمين بأحكام القانون بالحبس والتغريم .فحسب المادة 63 / أ يعاقب بالحبس مدة لا تقل عن أسبوع ولا تزيد على شهر أو بغرامة لا تقل عن خمسة عشر دينارا ولا تزيد عن خمسة وعشرين دينارا كل من قام بالتدخين في الأماكن العامة المحظور التدخين فيها .
وبينما كان أحد موظفي المولات يدخن صباح اليوم في ممرات المول قال لـ منبر الرأي أنه لم يسمع بأن التدخين ممنوع ولم ير أي لجان في المول كما أنهم لم يعلقوا لافتات مكتوب عليها ممنوع التدخين في الأماكن البارزة باستشناء اللافتات القديمة .
وأشار آخر والسيجارة بيده أنه سمع أن النية تتجه لمنع التدخين ولكنه لم يسمعها من مديره أو من أي مسؤول مما جعله يعتقد أنها مجرد إشاعة .

پسرلۍ شو پسرلۍ شو ، څومره ښکولۍ پسرلۍ شو
څنګه ناز غوندې مستی شوه ، جنون راغۍ بېخودی شوه
خو زما په زړګی اوس هم ، د خزان فصل چاپېر دې
د غمجن زړګی په څنګو، زړې پنړې را خپرې دی
د جفا رنګ یې اخیستې ، د دردونو پلوشې دی
ربه څه وکړم ربه ، زړه مې ولې لیونې دې
ولې نږدې غوږ نصیحت ته ، ولې نه اورې زما خبرې
ورته وایم چې پرېږده یې دا رړې قصې اوترې
ورته وایم پاڅون اوکړه ، ده د درد او زړه خوږۍ نه
ورته وایم په نڅا شه ، د سپرلی خایسته وږمو ته
خو نو څه وکړم خدایه ، دا زما زړګې ماشوم دۍ
ای غمجن زما زړګیه ، زه قربان ستا د وفا شم
ای زما ناکامه رنزه ، ای زما د زړه درده
لاړ شه لاړ شه لرې رانه لاړ شه
زما د مات زړه نه پناه واخله ، پرېده دا خوږ زړه مې خوند واخلی ، د دې ښکولې پسرلی نه

Afghanistan’s efforts to connect its businesses to new markets have earned a global award from the World Conference of Trade Promotion Organizations. Created in 2006, the Export Promotion Agency of Afghanistan has made tangible contributions to expanding exports despite the country’s widespread problems after decades of conflict.
“It means the world, literally, to be recognized after years of war,” said Suleman Fatimie, Chief Executive Officer of the Export Promotion Agency of Afghanistan. “This is a big step forward for Afghanistan and a big honour.”
Afghanistan’s exports rose 10% in 2007 over 2006, reflecting its growing economy. The Export
Promotion Agency has helped to cut red tape for exporters, such as helping them secure export permits quickly – a process that took over a week and 27 signatures now takes only a day and a few steps. They have also lobbied successfully to waive a 2% export tax, and convinced officials to stop collecting illegal export fees. They have facilitated over $12 million in contracts for Afghan’s exporters of fine hand-woven carpets as well as dried and fresh fruits, targeting trade fairs in China, Germany and the United States.
“It has been very exciting to work with these businesses,” he noted. “The award should be dedicated to our exporters – they deserve it more than us.” Currently the agency is working with 600 companies, and aims to service 5000 companies by 2015.
Afghanistan is coming out of 30 years of occupation and civil war and is one of the world’s poorest
countries. It is taking steps towards regional and global economic integration, using exports to ease
pressure on its balance of trade.
Because trade promotion organizations help to create jobs and income at home by assisting companies to expand internationally, they play an important role in their economies. In the world’s poorest countries, trade promotion bodies make a tangible contribution to reducing poverty and building global partnerships for development, contributing to the United Nations Millennium Development Goals.
The World Trade Promotion Organization Awards are sponsored by the International Trade Centre, the agency of the United Nations and the World Trade Organization, whose mandate is to help small
exporters in developing countries. The Export Promotion Agency of Afghanistan was chosen as the best trade promotion organization from a least developed country for 2008.

By M K Bhadrakumar Asia Times Online October 15, 2008
An impression is being created that there is a "rift" between the United States and Britain regarding the reconciliation track involving the Taliban. The plain truth is that the US, Britain, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are in this murky game together.

The essence of the game is to make the "war on terror" in Afghanistan more efficient and cost-effective. Surely, it is official American thinking that there has to be some form of reconciliation with the Taliban. US Defense Secretary Robert Gates admitted as much last week. He said, "There has to be ultimately, and I'll underscore ultimately, reconciliation as part of the political outcome to this [war]. That's ultimately the exit strategy for all of us." (Emphasis added)

When you repeat a word thrice in five seconds, it does register. Gates suggested he wasn't hinting at all about an "exit strategy". Indeed, at an informal meeting of the defense ministers of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) last week in Budapest, Hungary, the alliance visualized a long haul in Afghanistan.

Taliban reconciliation

Any reconciliation with the Taliban would essentially be in the nature of picking up the threads from October 2001 when the US invaded Afghanistan and toppled the Taliban regime.

Taliban leader Mullah Omar promised at the 11th hour in those fateful days from his hideout in Kandahar via Pakistani intermediaries - that, yes, he would verifiably sequester his movement from al-Qaeda and ask Osama bin Laden to leave Afghan soil, provided the US acceded to his longstanding request to accord recognition to his regime in Kabul rather than engage it selectively. The US administration ignored the cleric's offer and instead pressed ahead with the plan to launch a "war on terror".

What we may expect in the period ahead is a deal whereby the "good" Taliban profess disengagement from al-Qaeda, which the US and its allies will graciously accept, and, in turn, the "good" Taliban won't insist on the withdrawal of Western forces as a pre-condition. The Saudis will ably lubricate such a deal.

The sheer "unaffordability" of an open-ended war in Afghanistan will influence thinking in Washington if the crisis in the US economy deepens. But we are still some way from that threshold. The war should be "affordable" if the new head of US Central Command, General David Petraeus, can somehow make it more "efficient", which is what he did in Iraq. Presently, American politicians only speak about robustly conducting the war.

They are nowhere near framing the fundamental issue: How central is the Afghan war to the global struggle against terrorism? The answer is crystal clear. Afghanistan has very little to do with the basic national interests of the United States. Political violence in Afghanistan is primarily rooted in local issues, and "warlordism" is an ancient trait. That is to say, the Taliban can be made part of the solution.

Ultimately, the objectives of nation-building and legitimate governance in an environment of overall security that allows economic activities and development can only be realized by accommodating native priorities and interests. Washington has been far too prescriptive, creating a US-style presidential system in Kabul and then controlling it.

But such a regime will never command respect among Afghans. Deploying more NATO troops or creating an Afghan army is not the answer. The international community has prudently chosen not to challenge the legitimacy of the Hamid Karzai regime, but there is a crisis of leadership. Inter-Afghan dialogue is urgently needed. The Afghans must be allowed to regenerate their traditional methods of contestation of power in their cultural context and to negotiate their cohabitation in their tribal context.

Again, the US has been proven wrong in believing that imperialism could trump nationalism. On the contrary, prolonged foreign occupation has triggered a backlash. The war should never have escalated beyond what it ought to have been - a low-intensity fratricidal strife, which has been a recurring feature of Afghan history. In other words, a solution to the conflict has to be primarily inter-Afghan, leading to a broad-based government free of foreign influence, where the international community can be a facilitator and guarantor.

Russia lashes out

But what clouds judgment is the geopolitics of the war. The war provided a context for the establishment of a US military presence in Central Asia; NATO's first-ever "out of area" operation; a turf which overlooks the two South Asian nuclear weapon states of India and Pakistan, Iran and China's restive Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region; a useful toehold on a potential transportation route for Caspian energy bypassing Russia and Iran, etc. The situation around Iran; the US's "Great Central Asia" policy and containment strategy towards Russia; NATO's expansion - these have become added factors. Surely, geopolitical considerations lie embedded even within the current attempt to revive the Saudi mediatory role.

The interplay of these various geopolitical factors has made the war opaque. Major regional powers - Russia, Iran and India - do not see the US or NATO contemplating a pullout from Afghanistan in the foreseeable future. Tehran has been alleging that the US strategy in Afghanistan is essentially to perpetuate its military presence.

As a result, Russian statements regarding the US role in Afghanistan have become highly critical. Moscow seems to have assessed that the US-led war is getting nowhere and blame-game had begun. More important, Russia has began to pinpoint the US's "unilateralism" in Afghanistan.

In a major speech recently regarding European security at the World Policy Conference in Evian, France, President Dmitry Medvedev made a pointed reference, saying, "After the overthrow of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, the United States started a chapter of unilateral actions ..." He was making a point that the "United States' desire to consolidate its global role" is unrealizable in a multipolar world.

For the first time in the seven years of the war, the Russian foreign minister utilized the annual United Nations General Assembly forum to launch a broadside against the US, on September 27. Sergei Lavrov said:

"More and more questions are being raised as to what is going on in Afghanistan. First and foremost, what is the acceptable price for losses among civilians in the ongoing anti-terrorist operation? Who decides on criteria for determining the proportionality of the use of force?

These and other factors give reasons to believe that the anti-terrorism coalition is in the face of crisis. Looking at the core of the problem, it seems that this coalition lacks collective arrangements - ie equality among all its members in decision-making on the strategy and, especially, operational tactics. It so happens that in order to control a totally new situation as it evolved after 9/11, instead of the required genuine cooperative effort, including a joint analysis and coordination of practical steps, the mechanisms designed for a unipolar world started to be used, where all decisions were to be taken in a single center while the rest were merely to follow. The solidarity of the international community fostered on the wave of struggle against terrorism turned out to be somehow 'privatized'. "

These unusually sharp words underline the dissipation of the regional consensus over the war. Later, on September 28, at a press conference in the UN headquarters, Lavrov alleged that in a spirit of "prejudiced bias", the US was blocking the Moscow-led Collective Security Treaty Organization from helping to stabilize Afghanistan.

He also implied that the US vainly tried to block any reference to countering drug trafficking in the latest UN Security Council resolution on Afghanistan so as to deny Russia a role. He said, "Not quite full consideration is given to the assessments and the analyses of all members of the world community when making very important decisions which later tell on the situation of all."

A spat has since erupted over a UN-NATO cooperation agreement relating to the Afghan war allegedly signed "secretly" by a pliant secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, and his NATO counterpart, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer. on September 23 in New York. Russia has threatened to raise the matter in the UN Security Council. To quote Lavrov, "We [Russia] asked both [the UN and NATO] secretariats what this could mean and we are waiting for a reply, but we warned the UN leadership in the strictest fashion that things of this kind must be done without keeping secrets from member states and on the basis of powers and authority held by the secretariats."

Russian envoy to NATO Dmitry Rogozin said on Wednesday that Moscow would consider the Ban-Scheffer agreement "illegitimate", and as merely reflecting Ban's "personal opinion". As can be expected, Ban is keeping mum, while Scheffer contested the Russian allegation. Indeed, cracks are appearing in the US-Russia understanding over the anti-terrorism campaign in Afghanistan. A turf war is ensuing - Washington is determined to exclude Russia from Afghanistan and Moscow insisting on its legitimate role.

Iranian posturing

Similarly, Tehran also has raised the ante on Afghanistan. After having supported the US intervention in Afghanistan in 2001, in the recent period several statements highly critical of the US-led war in Afghanistan have appeared, attributed to the Iranian leadership. The latest high-profile statement was the criticism by the chairman of the Expediency Council, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, at a meeting with the visiting former UN secretary general Kofi Annan, where he lamented that the "occupiers" who created "insecurity" in Afghanistan and Pakistan were now "unable to rein it in".

More ominously, Tehran has invited former Afghan president Burhanuddin Rabbani, who led the anti-Taliban coalition (Northern Alliance) in the 1990s to visit Iran. Receiving him in Tehran on

Sunday, the speaker of the Iranian parliament, (Majlis) Ali Larijani, told Rabbani, "The situation in Afghanistan is sorrowful and regrettable." He said the presence of foreign forces is creating "insecurity" in the loss of innocent lives and is causing rampant drug-trafficking.

In another statement in the Majlis two days earlier, Larijani condemned the US attacks on the Pakistani tribal areas in Waziristan. This was the first time an Iranian leader specifically took exception to the US military operations inside Pakistani territory. He said Iran was concerned about the extent of the devastation and the death toll in Waziristan and that the US had exceeded the limits of the Geneva Convention in fighting terrorism. "Every single day, civilians are falling victim to the US-led fight against terrorism," he said, adding the US was "destroying" Waziristan under the "pretext of fighting terrorism".

Most significantly, Tehran has broken its silence on the US-British-Saudi efforts to negotiate reconciliation with the Taliban. This has come, curiously enough, in the form of a statement by the powerful chairman of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, Alaeddin Broujerdi. Long-time observers of the Afghan scene would recognize Broujerdi as the principal designer and architect of the Northern Alliance and a key strategist of the anti-Taliban resistance in the 1996-98 period.

Conceivably, Tehran has dropped a meaningful hint by fielding Broujerdi to speak on the Western efforts to reconcile with the Taliban. Broujerdi firmly repudiated the recent US propaganda that Tehran was mellowing toward the Taliban. Talking to a visiting French parliamentary delegation led by Socialist leader Jean-Louis Bianco on Sunday, Broujerdi underlined Tehran's continued opposition to the Taliban. He sharply criticized the European countries for adopting a conciliatory attitude towards the Taliban. He counseled them that instead they ought to extend unequivocal support to the "popular government" in Kabul led by Karzai.

Broujerdi pointed out that the West's attitude and approach toward the Taliban, which is an extremist group, will "damage regional stability and security". He said the root problem is the continued presence of foreign forces and a settlement will be possible only with their withdrawal.

Broujerdi may have signaled that Iran will challenge and counter any Western attempt to invite the Saudis to return to the Afghan chessboard and to co-opt the Taliban so as to perpetuate the US and NATO military presence. We may deduce that the scheduling of Rabbani's visit to Tehran is intended to signal that Iran still has reserves of influence with the Northern Alliance groups, despite the US estimation that these anti-Taliban groups have been scattered or bought over by Western intelligence.

Rabbani seems to have risen to the occasion. He also lent his voice condemning the continued presence of foreign forces on Afghan soil. "At first, they [Western forces] entered Afghanistan with the slogan that they would establish security and fight terrorism and drugs, but now Afghans are witnessing an escalation of terrorism and an increased production of narcotics," the inscrutable mujahideen leader told Larijani.

What was perplexing was Rabbani's remark, "The only solution to the Afghan crisis lies in the creation of unity among all national and jihadi [read mujahideen] forces in the country and the establishment of national reconciliation among all tribes without ethnic, tribal and religious prejudice." This was also the proclaimed political platform of the Northern Alliance. To be sure, Iran will oppose any ploy by US and British intelligence to resurrect the paradigm of the 1990s to put the Taliban in power so as to "pacify" Afghanistan and to create a modicum of stability necessary for the development of transportation routes for Caspian energy.

At a time when the fabulous Kashagan oil fields in Kazakhstan are expected to come on stream in 2013, when Washington hopes to reverse the tide of Russia-Turkmenistan energy cooperation, when volatility in the southern Caucasus impedes the advancement of new trans-Caspian pipelines, then, Afghanistan bounces back as the most realistic and viable evacuation route for Caspian energy bypassing Russia and Iran - provided the ground situation could be stabilized and security provided which investors and oil companies would find reassuring.

Indian dilemma

Both Russia and Iran will be keenly watching how India, which was a soul mate in the late 1990s staunchly supporting the anti-Taliban alliance, reacts to the current US-British-Saudi move. Indian leaders never tired of underscoring that there was nothing called "good Taliban" and "bad Taliban". That was up until a year ago. However, there is bound to be uneasiness in both Moscow and Tehran as to where exactly Delhi stands at the present juncture in the geopolitics of the region.

One thing is clear: a US-sponsored oil/gas pipeline via Afghanistan suits India, though that may undercut Russia and Iran in the energy sweepstakes.

From all accounts, discussions were going on between the security establishments of India and the US for the past several months regarding an Indian military involvement in Afghanistan. Washington has been pressing for a major Indian role. A two-member Indian team, which visited Kabul in early September, claimed they were on a mission sponsored by the government to make an assessment of the layout for Indian military involvement. The team apparently held discussions with top American diplomats and military officials based in Kabul.

Evidently, Delhi was clueless regarding Saudi King Abdullah's secret mediation with the Taliban. This intelligence failure had to happen. Indian diplomats have been somewhat smug about the unprecedented influence they wielded with the Kabul regime, and as happens in heady times, they began blandly assuming the durability of the present Afghan setup.

They worked shoulder-to-shoulder with their US counterparts in Kabul and American thinking inevitably began coloring Delhi's perceptions. It seems the intellectual osmosis ultimately became one-sided. Under constant US encouragement, the inebriating idea of a major military role in Afghanistan and playing the "great game" crept into the Indian calculus. Delhi seems to have incrementally lost touch with the Afghan bazaar and ground realities.

The US-British-Saudi plan to accommodate the Taliban in the power structure in Kabul creates a dilemma for Indian policymakers. To do an about-turn and begin to distinguish "good" Taliban is ridiculous. It will be seen as kow-towing to the US and will be difficult to rationalize. The antipathy towards the Taliban runs deep in the Indian mindset, since no matter the actual character of the Taliban's "Islamism", a threat perception gained ground in Indian opinion regarding "Islamic terror" from Afghanistan. The Indian establishment unwittingly contributed to this by harping on the ubiquitous "foreign hand" in terrorist activities in India. A rollback of the thesis will take time.

Furthermore, India views that the Taliban as an instrument of policy for Pakistani intelligence and as detrimental to Indian regional security interests. All in all, Delhi will feel greatly relieved if the US abandons its plan to co-opt the "good" Taliban.

In the above scenario, both Tehran and Moscow will be looking forward to foreign minister-level consultations with Delhi in the coming weeks. Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee is scheduled to visit Tehran in early November. Again, in November, in the run-up to the year-end visit by President Dmitriy Medvedev to India, Lavrov and Prime Minister Vadimir Putin will have consultations in Delhi.

The geopolitical reality, however, is that all three countries have transformed in recent years and their foreign policy priorities and orientations have also changed. They relate today to US hegemony in Afghanistan from dissimilar perspectives of national interests.

God didn't promise days without pain,
laughter without sorrow,
or sun without rain,
But He did promise strength for the day,
comfort for the tears,
and light for the way.

If God brings you to it,
He will bring you through it.

A little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.
The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter:
"Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river." The little girl said:
"No, Dad. You hold my hand."
"What's the difference?" Asked the puzzled father.
"There's a big difference," replied the little girl.
"If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go."

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond..So hold the hand of the person whom you love rather than expecting them to hold yours...

You Never

You never said I'm leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried
If Love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died
In Life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home

An appropriate poem..
In memory of my father..

Outlandish is the story of a band that insists on the vantage point called "The World We live in," as stated in the band's official site. Quite a bit has happened since Lenny Martinaz, Waqas Qadri, and Isam Bachiri broke ground in 1997 to form Outlandish and launch a career together.
In a live interview with IslamOnline.net, Waqas Qadri described how Outlandish started, "In the beginning, not so many people believed in us; back then hip hop was more looked upon as a 'black' thing, so how could a Pakistani, Cuban, and Moroccan bunch of kids ever do good? Therefore, we were forced at an early stage to take matters into our own hands."

Calling their style 'life music', Closer Than Veins Album marked a departure in this respect, particularly on the socially and politically heavy side the group has called in lyrical reinforcements. This is actually highlighting through one of their most outstanding tracks "Look Into My Eyes" that was principally written by Gihad Ali, a young Palestinian poet.

Lenny, Isam, and Waqas (From left).

Lyric:

"Look into my eyes
Tell me what you see
You don't see a damn thing
'cause you can't relate to me
You're blinded by our differences
My life makes no sense to you
I'm the persecuted one
You're the red, white and blue

Each day you wake in tranquility
No fears to cross your eyes
Each day I wake in gratitude
Thanking God He let me rise
You worry about your education
And the bills you have to pay
I worry about my vulnerable life
And if I'll survive another day

Your biggest fear is getting a ticket
As you cruise your Cadillac
My fear is that the tank that has just left
Will turn around and come back

Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes?
Do you let your media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows

Someone tell me...

Ooohh, let's not cry tonight
I promise you one day it's through
Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters
Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain't with us no more
Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters

See I've known terror for quite some time
57 years so cruel
Terror breathes the air I breathe
It's the checkpoint on my way to school
Terror is the robbery of my land
And the torture of my mother
The imprisonment of my innocent father
The bullet in my baby brother
The bulldozers and the tanks
The gases and the guns
The bombs that fall outside my door
All due to your funds

You blame me for defending myself
Against the ways of my enemies
I'm terrorized in my own land
What am I the terrorist?

Do you know the truth of where your money goes?
Do you let your media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?

Someone tell me...

America, do you realize that the taxes that you pay
Feed the forces that traumatize my every living day
So if I won't be here tomorrow
It's written in my fate
May the future bring a brighter day
The end of our wait

(pause)

Ohh let's not cry tonight I promise you one day is through
Ohh my brothers! Ohh my sisters!
Ooh shine a light for every Soul that ain't with us no more
Ohh my brothers! Ohh my sisters!"

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem Science has with God, The Almighty.

He asks one of his new students to stand and.....

Prof: So you believe in God?

Student: Absolutely, sir.

Prof: Is God good?

Student: Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?

Student: Yes.

Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him.

Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm? (Student is silent.)

Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fellow. Is God good?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?

Student: No.

Prof: Where does Satan come from?

Student: From...God.. .

Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?

Student: Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?

(Student does not answer.)

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?

Student: Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them?

(Student has no answer.)

Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?

Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student: Yes.

Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Prof: Yes.

Student: And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof: Yes.

Student: No sir. There isn't.

(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat,

but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold.

Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?

Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't.

If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?

Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure.

Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.

To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)

Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class is in uproar.)

Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?

(The class breaks out into laughter.)

Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir.

With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable. )

Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.

That is all that keeps things moving & alive....... ......... ..

A professor at CCNY for a physiological psych class told his class about bananas. He said the expression 'going bananas' is from the effects of bananas on the brain. Read on:

Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!!

This is interesting.. After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again
Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.

But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit.It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief

Morning Sickness:Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Overweightand at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control:Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking &Tobacco Use:Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal..

Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!

Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A banana a day keeps the doctor away!'

PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit !!! SUBHAN ALLAH

سردار محمد داود د لومړي ځل لپاره په افغانستان کې جمهوري نظام اعلان کړ .
د ١٣٥٢ کال د چنگاښ ٢٦ چې د ١٩٧٣ کال د جولاى د ١٧ سره برابره وه سردار محمد داود په افغانستان کې په يوې داسې پوځي کودتا لاس پورې کړ چې د خپل د تره د زوى محمد ظاهر ٤٠ کلنه پاچاهي يې راوپرځوله .
په دې کودتا کې لومړى د محمد ظاهر شاه زوم سردار عبدالولي کور چې هغه مهال يې د پوځ ټول واک په لاس کې و په نښه شو، او له هغه وروسته د افغانستان راډيو تر بريد لاندې راغله او په ناڅاپي توگه د راډيو ورځنۍ عادي خپرونې په ټپه ودرېدې او د ملي سندرو او اتڼونو په خپرولو يې پيل وکړ .

دا هغه مهال و چې محمد ظاهر شاه د ايټاليې د ناپل په ټاپو کې خپله کلنۍ رخصتي تېروله، چې بيا لس ورځې وروسته يې له هماغه ځايه خپله استعفا وړاندې کړه .

سردار محمد داود د لومړي ځل لپاره په افغانستان کې جمهوري نظام اعلان کړ، خو تر څنگ يې د عظمى صدارت، او د دفاع او بهرنيو چارو د وزارتونو واگې يې هم په واک کې لرلې ، هغه په خپله کابينه کې حسن شرق ته د صدارت مرستيالي دنده وروسپارله او فيض محمد يې د کورنيو چارو د وزير په توگه ونوماوۀ، همدارنگه د نعمت الله پژواک، پاچاگل وفادار، سيد عبدالاله، عبدالرحيم نوين او غوث الدين فايق او ځينو نورو په گډون يې خپله کابينه اعلان کړه .

پخوانى شوروي اتحاد لومړنى هېواد و چې د سردار محمد داود رژيم يې په رسميت وپېژانده او هغه ته يې د انقلاب لقب ورکړ، سردار محمد داود له کودتا وروسته په خپله لومړنۍ راډيويي وينا کې خلکو ته زېرى ورکړ :

'' گرانو هېوادوالو! بايد تاسو ته ووايم چې نور پخوانى رژيم ړنگ شو او نوى رژيم چې هغه جمهوريت دى او د اسلام د غوښتنې سره برابر دى بري ته ورسېد .''


دا هغه مهال و چې محمد ظاهر شاه د ايټاليې د ناپل په ټاپو کې خپله کلنۍ رخصتي تېروله، چې بيا لس ورځې وروسته يې له هماغه ځايه خپله استعفا وړاندې کړه .

له لويه سره په افغانستان کې خلک د محمد داود او پخواني شوروي اتحاد راشه درشې ته په دې سترگه گوري چې په وينا يې هغه پخله کيڼ اړخى و، د خلق د ډيموکراتيک گوند غړى ببرک شينوارى هم دغه خبره مني ، خو دا مسئله هم پسې راغبرگوي چې د هېوادونو گاونډيتوب هم پر دې تودې راشه درشې خپل اغېز شيندلى و .

خو محمد داود ته نژدې پوځي افسر او د پرچم د گوند غړى نورالحق علومي وايي چې د سردار محمد داود د کودتا موخه د خلکو په ژوندانه کې د بنسټيزو بدلونونو راوستنه وه :

'' کله چې داود خان کودتا وکړه تر يوه حده هر سړى په دې پوهېده چې يو لړ بدلونونه راروان دي ، هغه پرېکړه چې سردار محمد داود کړې وه هغه دا وه چې هغه په افغانستان کې د پرمختگ او د خلکو ته د سوکالۍ هيله لرله ، هغه د صدارت پر مهال هم داسې پنځه کلن اقتصادي پلانونه جوړ کړي وه چې د افغانستان د پرمختگ زيرى يې له ځانه سره لاره، داسې هېواد چې تر هغه مهاله يې نه برېښنا لرله او نه يې په اقتصادي ډگر کې کوم پرمختگ کړى و، او د خلکو د ژوند کچه هم ډېره ټيټه وه ، نو ځکه خلکو د بدلون غوښتنه کوله او دغه شان بدلون ته يې په ښه سترگه کتل . ''

په افغانستان ډېر خلک داسې وايي چې د محمد داود په مشرۍ کودتا ته لا له ډېر پخوا نه يو شمېر روڼ اندي په دې تمه کې وه چې کله او څنگه به سلطنتي نظام ړنگيږي، د پخواني پاچا اوښى او د سردار محمد داود يو تن خپلوان همايون شاه اصفي وايي چې سردار داود يو زړور مشر و او موخه يې يوازې او يوازې خلکو ته خدمت و، ښاغلى اصفي په دې خبره هم ټينگار کوي چې سردار داود د سياسي نظريې له پلوه د محافظه کارسياست پلوى نه و .


د داود خان له کودتا وروسته د خلق د ډيموکراتيک گوند ځينو غړو چې په کودتا کې يې هم رغنده ونډه درلوده هڅه وکړه چې سوسياليستي حرکتونو ته په افغانستان کې لاره پرانيزي .

سردار محمد داود د جمهوري نظام له پيله داسې پروگرامونه تر لاس لاندې ونيول چې د ځينو خلکو په وينا د دغو پروگرامونو په پلي کولو سره د خلکو په ژوندانه کې يې د ژورو بدلونونو د راتگ زيري له ځانه سره لرل، خو دا چې د سردار محمد داود په پنځه کلنه دوره کې کومې لارې خپلې کړي او بېلابېلې ډلې د سردار محمد داود دغه پېر ته په کومه سترگه گوري د جميعت اسلامي د ډلې مشر برهان الدين رباني وايي چې د داود خان له کودتا وروسته د خلق د ډيموکراتيک گوند ځينو غړو چې په کودتا کې يې هم رغنده ونډه درلوده هڅه وکړه چې سوسياليستي حرکتونو ته په افغانستان کې لاره پرانيزي .

خو د سردار محمد داود په رژيم کې پخوانى وزير عزيزالله واصفي وايي چې د چنگاښ کودتا د همدغو کيڼ اړخو پوځيانو په ملاتړ ترسره شوې وه نو ځکه يې واک هم په حکومت کې څه نا څه ډېر و .

د داود خان پر مشرۍ تر کودتا وروسته په سيمه او نړۍ کې هېوادونه څک شول او ټولو په افغانستان کې روانې پېښې له نژدې څارلې، ايران د افغانستان د ولسمشر خپلولو ته مټې رابډوهلې، خو په همدغه مهال له لوېديځ سره د سردار محمد داود د نژدې والي څه نا څه نښې نښانې جوتېدې، خو د پاکستان د لومړي وزير ذوالفقار علي بوټو سره يې د پښتونستان په اړه اړيکي خورا ترينگلي شوي وه، په همدغه وخت کې د اسلامي گوندونو مشران چې محمد داود رژيم يې د ځان په اړه گواښ باله پېښور ته وکوچېدل ، د هغو کسانو په ډله کې يو هم د اسلامي جميعت مشر برهان الدين رباني و .


کريملين ته د رپوټ رسول
په هغه مهال د سردار محمد داود په کابينه کې هم داسې غړي وو چې د پېښېدونکو چارو ټول رپوټ به يې کريملين ته په خپل وخت سره رساوه .


همايون شاه اصفي

سردار محمد داود له بري نه وروسته د خلق له ډيموکراتيک گوند په تېره بيا د پرچم ډلې سره خپل اړيکي تاوده وساتل، خو د لږ څه وخت په تېرېدو سره د اړيکو دغه مزي په شلېدو شوه، پر همدغه وخت کې د محمد داود اړيکي د اسلامي نړۍ او لوېديځو هېوادونو سره مخ په تودېدو وه چې د پخواني شوروي اتحاد د مشرانو تر منځ يې اندېښنې مخ په ډېرېدو کړې، د خلق گوند د يو تن غړي هاشم وطنوال په وينا د مسکو او کابل تر منځ د اړيکو سړښت په تربگنۍ واوښت او مسکو په دې هڅه کې شو چې څنگه د سردار محمد داود د واکمنۍ ټغر ټول کړي .

خو دا د يو بل بدلون پيلامه وه، داسې يو بدلون چې له امله يې د داود خان او د هغه د کورنۍ د ژوند او مرگ برخليک ورسره تړلى و، د يوې بلې کودتا څرک له همدې وروسته په لگېدو و ، خو ايا سردار محمد داود په دې پوه و چې د هغه د رژيم د ړنگولو لپاره هڅې روانې دي ؟ همايون شاه اصفي وايي چې په هغه مهال د سردار محمد داود په کابينه کې هم داسې غړي وو چې د پېښېدونکو چارو ټول رپوټ به يې کريملين ته په خپل وخت سره رساوه .

خو دا چې د کابل او مسکو تر منځ راټوکيدلي کړکېچ څه ډول يوې بلې خونړۍ کودتا ته لاره پرانيستله ، او د دغې کودتا اصلي څېرې او سټې کومې وې، زموږ په راتلونکې خپرونه کې به درته روښانه شي .

له ولسمشر داود خان سره د غويي د اوومې په کودتا کې د دۀ د کورنۍ په لسگونو کسان ووژل شول
د افغانستان د لومړني ولسمشر محمد داود د برخليک په اړه چې د ثور پر اوومه څه پرې راغلل، ډېرې خبرې شوي او بېشمېره کتابونه ليکل شوي.
خو يو يې هم ښايي د ارزښت له پلوه هغه څه ته ونه رسېږي چې د ده خپله وريندار يې وايي.

ميرمن زهره د داودخان تر وژل کېدو څو شېبې دمخه په ارگ کې له هغه سره وه او تر وژل کېدو وروسته يې د هغه او د کورنۍ د غړو مړي په خپلو سترگو ليدلي دي.

مېرمن زهره اوس په لندن کې د زړو خلکو په يوه پالنځي کې شپې تېروي.


داود جنبش د زهرې خاطرې اوريدلي دي او داسې يې يادوي

په لومړي سر کې به څوک تصور هم ونه کړي چې دا د افغانستان د وروستي پاچا خور او د لومړني ولسمشر وريندار ده.

دا د لندن له نورو بېوسه زړو سره يو ځاى په يوه پالنځي کې اوسي، خو ددې خونه تر هغو توپير لري ځکه چې ټوله د سردار محمد داود او د دې د خپل څښتن محمد نعيم په عکسونو او يادگارونو ډکه ده. دلته د افغانستان د نژدې يوې پېړۍ خاطرې خوندي دي، چې تر ټولو ويرجنې يې په دېرش کاله مخکې پورې اړه مومي.

زهره نه غواړي چې عکس يې واخيستل شي، د غږ له ثبتولو سره هم جوړه نه ده، خو د ثور د اوومې نېټې د غملړلې پېښې نکل په لېوالتيا سره کوي:

هغه وايي:

" په هغه ورځ، نعيم خان نه و. لوڼې مې په کور کې وې او لمسيان ښوونځيو ته تللي وو. زه مې د وېښتانو د جوړولو له پاره وتلې وم چې يو افسر راغى او په بيړه يې ارگ ته وغوښتم. موږ د داود خان له بچو سره يوځاى گلخانې ماڼۍ ته ورغلو.

داود خان په خپل دفتر کې له چاسره پر ټېلېفون خبرې کولې. هلته کېناستو. په دې کې.... الوتکو له پاسه د بمونو غورځول پيل کړل. دا حالت تر ماښامه روان و. چې بمبارد زور واخيست، داود خان وويل: ځئ لاندې ولاړ شئ.

د وتلو پر مهال، د گلخانې د وره له خوانه ډزې پيل شوې. فکر کوم دا د ارگ دننه د خلقيانو او پرچميانو ډزې وې. په دهليز کې د داود خان لور زرلښته او لمسۍ يې غزال چې اته کلنه او د عمر لور وه، ټپيان شوي وو. هغوى يې بلې خونې ته راوړل. زما لمسۍ-- ديارلس کلنه صفورا پر ټټر لگېدلې وه، د داودخان زوم- نظام وويل چې ضعف يې کړې دى، نوره ښه ده، خو چې ويې ليده نو مړه شوې وه. زما د سترگو په وړاندې مړه شوه."

او د غېږې کوچنيان هم خوندي نه وو:

" شيما - چې د سردارصاحب (داود خان ) نږور او د وېس مېرمن وه، دوه بچيان يې په غېږ کې نيولي وو او ديوال ته يې تکيه کړې وه، کله چې موږ راووتو دوى په گولۍ لگېدلي وو. له خپلو بچو سره يو ځاى درېواړه شهيدان شوي وو".

داود خان په خپل دفتر کې له چاسره پر ټېلېفون خبرې کولې. هلته کېناستو. په دې کې.... الوتکو له پاسه د بمونو غورځول پيل کړل.


زهره

له زهرې نه مې هيله وکړه چې دا خبره يې ثبت کړم چې ددې په خپل غږ راشي، پورته يې راته وکتل او د هو سر يې وخوځاوه.
نور نکل يې داسې اوږد کړ:

" زما او د نعيم خان لور زرمينه، د داود خان خور عايشه چې معيوبه وه او په گاډي کې به گرځېده، د داود خان مېرمن زينب چې زما خور وه او لوڼې يې – شينکۍ او زرلښته داودخان ته ورغلل او څنگ ته يې ودرېدل. دا صحنه مې پخپله نده ليدلې، خو راته وويل شول چې په دې وخت کې داود خان ته له لېرې نه غږ کېده چې تسليم شه. هغه ورته په ځواب کې وويل چې له خپل خداى پرته چاته نه تسلېمېږي.

په همدې وخت کې دډزو غږ شو: داود خان، نعيم خان، زينب، شينکۍ، د داود خان درې واړه زامن: خالد، ويس او عمر او دغه راز نظام – د شاه محمود خان زوى – دوى ټول ځاى پرځاى همدغلته ووژل شول. (کودتاکوونکي) وروسته په موږ پسې راغلل او ويل يې چې ځئ له دې خونې نه ووځئ او که نه نو د کوټې چت درباندې رالوېږي.

د وتلو پرمهال مې وليدل چې د داود خان، نعيم خان او نورو مړي پراته دي. زه هم په پښه لگېدلې وم. موږ څو تنه يې وروسته روغتون ته بوتلو.

لس ورځې يې دلته وساتلو او بيا يې محبس ته بوتلو. دوه تنه – د نعيم خان لمسۍ – خورشيد او توران چې د سردار تيمور شاه زوى و، په روغتون کې وساتل شول. د داود خان يوه نږور – گلالۍ چې د عمر مېرمن وه، اووه ډزه لگېدلې وه، خو ژوندۍ پاتې شوه. "

له زهرې نه مې وپوښتل چې د د اود خان د خولې وروستي ټکي يې په ياد دي؟

په دې وخت کې داود خان ته له لېرې نه غږ کېده چې تسليم شه. هغه ورته په ځواب کې وويل چې له خپل خداى پرته چاته نه تسلېمېږي.


زهره

هغې بې له ځنډه وويل: هو. نکل يې پيل کړ. خو ما ودروله. نه... خير دى، په خپلو ټکو يې راته ووايه. او هغې بيا زړه نازړه موافقه وکړه:

"کله چې هغوى راغلل او لټول يې کول، زه د خپل مېړه څنگ ته ناسته وم. پښه يې په گولۍ لگېدلې وه. ما نه غوښتل چې ووځم خو خپله سردار صاحب (يعنې داود خان) وويل چې ځئ، ووځئ. ولاړو او په هغه بله خونه کې کېناستو، نور نو بيا نه يو پوه شوي".

زهره وايي چې د کورنۍ شاوخوا اويا غړي يې د ثور پر هاغه باراني ورځ ووژل شول. او پوښتي چې دېرش کاله وروسته اوس داسې څوک شته چې د دوى او د هيواد د لومړني ولسمشر د ښخېدو ځاى ومومي او زيارت پرې جوړ کړي؟

Often the most difficult challenge to improving our life, to making a change, or to implementing a plan is finding out how to motivate ourselves to take the first step toward a goal and then to remain constantly motivated.

Have you given some thought to what motivates you? What gets you going when there are constant distractions? When your intellectual and emotional energy levels are low, how do you turn things around? Or when you are working on one project that is taking lots of your time, how do you stay focused and motivated to keep going until the project is complete? These are not questions with easy answers.

However, during the teenage years, it is important that you at least begin to explore the topic of motivation and come to some understanding about how you can motivate yourself. Although your preferences and inclinations about what motivates you might change as you grow older, you will be much better prepared for college and other goals you intend to pursue.

Start With Your Intentions

No matter what activity or goal you wish to pursue, there must be an effort to make an intention, to think clearly about what it is you are about to undertake and for what reason.

Working on your intentions right at the outset also serves the purpose of helping to develop a clear objective and, God willing, a concrete sense of what is needed to achieve the objective and how much time will be needed to do so. When your motivation suffers midway through the process of achieving a particular objective, it is highly likely that the intention itself was not clear at the outset and therefore distractions easily slipped in and the focus became unclear.

Do your best from now on to articulate your intention; if needs be, take a moment to write down your thoughts. Keep your intentions clear, and check back with yourself should your motivation level starts to decline.

Develop a Plan

Starting off on a project without having a clear sense of the resources or the estimated time needed to complete it is not recommended. Not knowing what books you will need to complete a report means you will have to stop and go look for a relevant book or source each time need arises. The risk that you will become distracted or even lose motivation is great because you will have started the project already but will feel discouraged if a particular book is not available.

In addition, you will find yourself diverting valuable energy unnecessarily to look for this or that resource, and even worse, fall victim to the tendency to "help" a friend with his or her problem. You should always be helpful to friends but not at the expense of losing valuable time working on your own project that has a specific deadline. If you get bogged down with too many distractions, whether self-inflicted or peer-imposed, then you are bound to feel less motivated to continue working on the initial project, whatever it was.

Develop a plan of action right at the outset, incorporating milestones and checkpoints so that you can pace your progress, as well as appropriate break times so that you do not suffer from burnout. It is never advisable to overwork oneself or to expect that one can remain consistently and constantly motivated over the same thing.
