A picture worth thousand words. For me this picture worth more than just words ITS A MATTER OF GENERATIONS!

Without interviewing this poor boy, He explained his whole life of a promising young lad who seems to be committed towards education with the hope that one day I'll be the next 'icon' and serve my nation in many different ways. I found this lad at the main entrance of the TCF (The Citizen Foundation School) some months ago. He was so profoundly involved in his studies that I didn't dare to interrupt him or to interrupt his dreams/ambitions. He was all alone and no one else was sitting beside him....

I felt, even the Sunlight in the picture is sending him, while reflecting back from the book to his eyes the photons of embracing commitment, satisfaction, interest, involvement last but not the least HOPE.

As Dr. Iqbal rightly said "Elm Key shama say Ho muj ko muhabbat Ya Rabb!!"

I felt, even Allah SWT is sitting next to him and expressing him love and glad-tidings of greatest success which is to come in the near future Wal'la-ho-alam.

I felt, to share some of the quotes of highly Eminent people from the world who really lived their lives in distress or shared something in this connection.

I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.

Oprah Winfrey

Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself.. Because it’s only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.

Barack Obama

This is just one stance on education of our people and the positive impact on the future, if they are UN_DEPRIVED from the need set as Maslow defined in his hierarchy of needs then there are millions who can be the torch bearers to those who are adopting the options of suicide militancy or crimes in many connections.

"The poor themselves can create a poverty-free world.. all we have to do is to free them from the chains that we have put around them".

Dr. Muhammad Younus

This young lad has so much talent and potential that despite being deprived and poor, he seems committed towards education, and I spoke so many words behind him which reminds me of one line by Perveen shakir:

"Mere laboon pay mohar thee par meray sheesha rooh nay tau;

Sheher k sheher ko mera waqif-e-haal kar diya"

If these word can turn you on to at least thinking to "Save them" If NOT, Then WHY NOT......?

Lest not forget "The one who help orphans will be so close to our beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW in the hereafter."
