Dear young people, Imran Khan has a message for all of you

Dear young people, Imran Khan has a message for all of you

"Demoralisation is the real failure. Learn to fall, but then get back up with grace. Discover your strengths."
30 Dec, 2020

From monthly book recommendations to endorsing his favourite television shows, Prime Minister Imran Khan takes out the time from his busy schedule to share his insights, particularly with the youth.

As the difficult year comes to an end, the former cricket champion has come forth with some words of encouragement for the youth around the world. Feeling exhausted, broken and defeated? No worries, because Khan is here to share his very own tried and tested mantra.

A photo posted by Instagram (@instagram) on

"Life goes in cycles, never in a straight line . Where one ends up depends upon how one copes with the high and low points," he said in a short video posted on Instagram.

"These setbacks and disappointments are all a lesson. A successful man is one who knows how to cope up with the hardships that come his way. Demoralisation is the real failure. Learn to fall, but then get back up with grace. Discover your strengths. This is the cycle called struggle — the secret to success."

"The ones who are successful never get demoralised by the bad times, instead analyse and learn from their mistakes and hence emerge stronger. And when on a high, they never get carried away by the success, instead work harder to prolong that trajectory before the inevitable descent begins."

So youngsters, pay heed. You may agree or disagree with Khan's politics, but it's always good to hear words of encouragement from those in roles of leadership.

This spin of being ‘honest’ is ironically most dishonest of statements. Fact 1: IK and all PTI claim a 22yrs of ‘jiddo jehad’, translation, 22 yrs of experience! Fact 2: Before election IK claimed he has experience after 5 yrs of KP gov, Fact 3: IK claimed he had most experienced team, Fact 4: IK said he needs only 100 days to fix everything, i.e. his claims indicated knowledge of problem, if not then its either a lie or is incompetence! So this ‘honesty’ now is highly suspect

Very enchanting message Mr. Premier delivered and left for the young generation to set up goals in every sphere of lire. Thank you Mr. Khan for your message that can't only for the young but can easily be considered for the nation. Let us inspire by him and give up the buttery puffed fake assurance from the greedy politicians. Let us work hard to make the country safe and happy for each and everybody.

Good message from PMIK. If only the rest of them would actually work for the people and not for themselves. I think he should continue to concentrate on increasing exports. He needs to make the elites pay taxes and get out of debt trap.

His heart is at right place but his skills and competency are the real issue. Example you may bravely jump in a lake to save your loved one from drowning. But how will it help if you are not a strong swimmer yourself and do not know the techniques to save a drowning person. IK will be made President soon to make way for a competent administrator

Dear PM As a supporter of PTI government to steer Pakistan's Ship out of financial , political , domestic problems , I could suggest following measures to be taken on most immediate basis: 1. Start a dialogue with the Baluch Political representatives to satisfy them for a peaceful atmosphere in the province required for the progress of the province and the country. 2. Religious fanatics have played a havoc with the country. They will destroy Pakistan on the basis their bigotry. Reign them. 3. Pakistan Judiciary is performing at the lowest. They have brought a shame to the country by their many decisions. Overhaul the judiciary. 4. Reduce the administrative expenditure , abolish the CSP cadre, government departments are overstaffed and inefficient. 5. Avoid opening new universities as they are not providing quality education , just a means of distributing degrees. Instead of new Engineering colleges/universities , establish hi class poly techniques institutes to produce trained and skilled manpower. There is no check on the supply of addictive drugs , 80% of our laborer are addicted to these addictions, youths are also affected badly , drug smugglers are not caught and not handed severe punishments by our courts. There are very limited facilities /grounds for our youths for their physical activities. 6. The economic polices are better and giving good results , continue encouraging and create a business friendly atmosphere.
