Today I will write some excerpts from a comment, which i read in Times of India. I liked the truthfulness & sincerity behind that advice. I will slightly edit it for my audience. If Pakistanis could follow this advice, i know we would combat all the problems.
You MUSLIMS are big part on this world. Throw out the attitude and belief that Muslims are backward and less intelligent.
Every brand in this world has its own identity & values that it stands for. Similarly, Coca-Cola has made a pledge to the communities for playing its role in spreading optimism, happiness and ensuring sustainability of societies where we have the privilege to operate. Key enablers in fulfilling these commitments are our campaigns, community development initiatives and supply chain (operations), economic contribution amongst others. Following the philosophy of our recent campaign, ‘crazy for good’, I am pleased to share another initiative that has the potential to make a huge difference in the lives of our youth.
In 2012, The Coca-Cola Company in partnership with US State Department sponsored 100 scholarships from 6 countries across Middle East and North Africa to attend a one month intensive and multi-dimensional Summer Entrepreneurship Program at Indiana University, Kelley School of Business. From 2013 onward, Pakistan will also be a part of this program. The Coca-Cola Scholarship Program will offer a unique opportunity to Pakistani students for one-month Summer Entrepreneurship Program at Indiana University’s prestigious Kelley School of Business. The program will provide the opportunity to learn about business education through an accelerated curriculum.
The top 20 ideas (about how can you make your communities better) with the most votes will be shortlisted and 12 final winners will attend the summer program. Students must have Pakistani nationality (limited travel experience to US is preferred), be enrolled at a university, be between the ages of 18-23 and fluent in English, and must have basic knowledge of Microsoft Office. The program is also fully funded, including travel to and within the United States, accommodations, meals etc. Please see the requirements and apply before March 31st, 2013.
This truly is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students & Coca-Cola needs your support in spreading the word and encourage students from all over Pakistan to apply to this program. Together we may not change the world, but we must leverage every opportunity to make a positive contribution to our society….whenever and wherever we can!

In every field of endeavor , people from all walks of life are interested in improving themselves and organizing their minds.
Admittedly, I am a bit biased, trained memory is one of the most important factors in mental organization, there are of course many other factors involved. The search for happiness need not be a long or difficult one, in fact, you can find it within yourself.

And since a picture is worth a thousand words, here is a glimpse of the year in photos, taken at TED events as far-flung as Long Beach, Edinburgh, Doha and New York. We hope that you enjoy our favorite TED photos of the year.
Four years ago, Nia and myself gazed at two jars full of coins on our working desk, and we thought how wonderful it would be if we could use those coins to send more kids back to school. We counted the coins and the amount could actually cover a child's tuition fee in elementary school. We blogged about this idea…
