Why cannot We Play with Words?

Words

We have heard this phrase many times,
A picture is worth than a thousand words.
But, why cannot we stop here and give it a critical look?
I do agree that, as compared to words, a picture can more easily convey a message. And also that, in today's technological era, people react more to videos and photos than to simple text. But wait! is that all about words? do we mean text when we say "words"? not really.



Words mean both simple texts and oral words. When you sit in front of a camera and talk to your followers, that is also the game of words. Let me reveal one interesting thing about words to you.

A picture may seem more preferable to convey a message but it cannot and can never Stir an action within a single soul or a crowd. Only words has the guts to stir action. And in the end, the ultimate purpose is Action.
So, which is worth? words or a Picture?



Let me take you to a real-life situation where words play a significant role to see the desired action.




How many times you acted the way your teachers/parents/boss wanted and still you were fully happy?

how many times it occurred to you that you wanted to act differently?



In ancient times, punishment or in simpler words force was used to make others act your way. There was never a concept of two-way communication.  You were asked to act in a certain way, and you were bound to do it. But today's life is different. With more information on how others from across the globe behave in certain situations, people are getting obsessed with punishment and force.

If today, you apply the same rules of force, that will be a blunder on your part.



But to your surprise, even today people rely on those ancient practices.




We are forced to look similar or rather acceptable to a certain dress code, to be on time in class, to refrain from smoking, to refrain from having mobile when we are a kid.




Why cannot we play with words?

Why cannot you motivate students to act your way?
Why cannot you convince people that smoking is bad for health?
Why cannot you be a role model for your kids?



Why cannot we give a reason for people to follow us?

or why are we so desperate to move people our way?



Why cannot we let people live their lives?




Simply, tell people why they should follow you, and you will get sincere followers. those who don't care will move their way.




If all people were to please us then Why God, the Almighty, gave us free will? Why He did not bind us to follow one religion? I mean why He gave us so many choices of religions? Why He made us with diverse capabilities?

God has perfectly played with words.
He revealed Qur'an and then left us to think where we should go. Now those who believe in Him and follow His teachings, are with Him, the rest will meet their destination whatsoever.



That is why He advised Muhammad (SAW) to just preach and let the consequences with Allah Himself.




So, the point is, we have to learn to play with words and give people a reason to follow us and let others live as they please.

Myth of Freelancing | Opinion

Image
Freelancing is very easy, and you can be your own boss. You can do whatever, whenever, and wherever. You may have heard these lines very often. In my opinion however, these are flawed lines and are used only to develop interest and have nothing to do with freelancing in reality. Almost all experienced freelancers would suggest you : stick to only one skill set. So that you can focus on your expertise and provide greater value. But I will somehow disagree with them because what they are saying may be quite right, but only for their own level. They rarely understand or speak on beginner’s level. The level that they are at, has much freelance work, and has a team of their own. So, they are not facing the same problems as the beginners. As a matter of fact, there are many complexities as you start your journey at freelancing as a beginner. Not only you need to be patient, which is said by almost everybody, but also you need to have enough time, enthusiasm and sometimes little i...

Embrace Equity International Women’s Day is an important event celebrated annually worldwide, honoring the contributions and achievements of women. This year's theme, "Embrace Equity," highlights the need for gender equality, particularly in Pakistan, where women face a myriad of challenges daily. In this article, we'll discuss the struggles of Pakistani women, the progress made so far, and how embracing equity can help promote gender equality.   Pakistan is a country where patriarchal norms dominate society, and women are often viewed as second-class citizens.

However, it is until recently that I realized the potential benefit of paper discussion. What is paper discussion? When I say paper discussion, I mean discussion of paper i.e. exam pape r just before as well as just after the exam. Before the start of an exam, students usually discuss about important points regarding exam, or even chances of a particular question. After the end of exam, students usually discuss the answers.
