Is it really magic?

Have you ever dreamed of going on vacation very special with those you love and not worry how much it costs? What about staying in the best hotels on this holiday? Be able to eat in a restaurant you want?

Close your eyes and imagine what it would be like having the best vacation you want to go. This experience is what everyone in network marketing hope for when they started. Many people never realize this dream, because they do not know how.

I no longer have to wonder, I can show you pictures.

We took one week family vacation to Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. For many of you this trip does not seem very spectacular and some of you even made a similar trip. What is special is that the trip was fully paid at 100% in three days through a marketing program. It only took me three days to travel more than 5000 dollars.

On this trip, I learned some lessons about business and life.

1 The family is the most important.

Spend time with your family is really more important than spending time at work. I made memories I will cherish the rest of my life and moved closer to my wife and children I’ve ever been. I have a 17 year old, a high school and college will visit soon. I need to enjoy every moment I have with it. I also have a 13, it was his birthday and we had a great time riding together.

There are really two magical places.

If you’ve never been to a Disney property, you can not understand this, but if you have, you know exactly what I mean. There is something truly magical Disney. Let me give you some examples.

First, my wife is not in the rides in any way. Normally it is the favorite promenade tram that takes you to and from your car. On this trip, she led three slides and a high speed drive my kids and I still can not believe she went up and she loved them. I can still hear his laughter in the seat behind me.

Second, those of you who have a son and daughter will love it was that my children do not compete with each other again. Do you realize how big it is? I even have pictures of them hugging and sitting on a chair placed on the shoulders of each other. This place is not only magic, but it creates miracles.

3 Give a little, get a lot.

I should have known that great things were going, because we approached the first trip ever to the holiday, one person came to my children and gave them a FastPass. It happened three times during our vacation. For those of you who do not know what it is, it’s a ticket that is free, but limited, which allows you to go to the front of the line on any given trip. The wait was Ove an hour, but they had to go to the front of the line. There were two occasions where we had fastpasses we could not use, and gave them to others. One of these occasions, almost made me cry.

It was near the end of the day and we had to leave because we had dinner reservations. We had two rounds of one of the main attractions. We had already assembled twice, so we decided to give the other passes. My son spotted a young boy of his age and gave tickets to him. He and his father thanked my son and went rolling. After they left, the boy’s mother, who stood with them tell the story.

He was the last day they would be Disney. In fact, it was the last day they would be together for a long time. His father was in the army and was stationed in Afghanistan, and left the next day. This trip was a farewell gift for the family.

The father and son had talked about riding to ride together for several months. For some reason they did not have to go up again, and when they did, there were no more passes, and because of the length of the line and the closing time of the park, they had closed the line. The father had already apologized to his son and had given up the ride. Then my son went to the boy and gave him the pass which allowed them to rise.

Disney is truly a magical and miraculous.

Wake up Pakistan!

Pakistan Awake!

United States has “suspended” military aid, and all but closed to the pressure of Kerry-Lugar-Berman of the population through civil. Pakistanis pride swelled his breast and vowed to eat grass, if necessary, to defend their countries ‘sovereignty’. What’s the big deal, the average American has been support peanuts anyway, and our traditional friends like China and Saudi Arabia can save us from our problems.

To be sure, our relationship with the United States are no less sinister.

In 1950, we asked the U.S. to be friends with us instead of India, happily goes along with the United States in the Cold War against the USSR as the n ‘ was not our war at all. As a result, the military the dominant theme in our lives and destroy the nascent democracy pulse. In the years 1980 and 2000, we stumbled upon ourselves to keep our services in the United States in Afghanistan.

Now we are reaping the whirlwind of our terrorist greed and opportunism.

But a little introspection is in order to prove that we do not need the U.S. as an enemy because we are our worst enemies.

More Pakistanis eat “grass” than ever. The number of Pakistanis below the poverty line increased from 27 percent five years ago to 33 percent in 2011. And it has nothing to do with America. The growth of the economy fell 6.5 percent five years ago to 3 percent today. The gaping budget deficit to 7.5 percent of GDP today, against 4.5 percent five years ago. And it has nothing to do with America. The rupee fell to a 77 dollar five years ago to 90 today. Headline inflation is running at 15% and food inflation at 25%. And it has nothing to do with America. The tax to GDP fell to 8.7% in 2011 against 11.5% five years ago. And it has nothing to do with America. Floods continue to destroy lives and millions of poor people across the country.

And it has nothing to do with America. Sunni extremists are unleashed, killing Shiites. Ethnic parties should continue to mow down people in Karachi. And it has nothing to do with America. Power outages have made life more miserable and unhappy million, while making millions more unemployed.

And it has nothing to do with America. Instead of rooting for Pakistani nationalism, we are proud to undermine it as Muslims first, or Sindhis, Muhajirs, Balochis, Pakhtun, Punjabi, Seraiki, Hazarajat, Kashmir, Sunni, Shia, Deobandi, Barelvi. And it has nothing to do with America. We are counted among the most corrupt countries in the world. We fought four wars with India and has lost each of them in the negotiation lose half by Pakistan.

And it has nothing to do with America. As if this litany of self-induced error is not enough, there is hypocrisy, double standards to deal with too. Of course, the United States has violated our sovereignty through drone of rain in FATA. But then, the Afghan Taliban and Al Qaeda has established safe haven there. But we are quick to jump the United States and even faster to claim that Al Qaeda and the Taliban is no innocent refugees are, where our traditional hospitality is offered.

The story does not end there.

The IMF is not welcome. How dare this requires that we tax the rich, plug the bleeding in public enterprises, to stop the theft of power, and used according to our means? U.S. support is provided

We do not build dams and reservoirs to control our natural resources .. That we do not have schools and teachers for our children and hospitals for the poor

Our all-weather friends are China and Saudi Arabia. Never mind that China does not help us much when we are plagued by earthquakes and floods, or when lack of money to pay our bills abroad.

No matter that Saudi Arabia treat our migrant workers as slaves, the rent of our military to take action against the Shiite majority in Bahrain and exporting extremist “Islam” to our country.

At the end of the day to eat grass, when we get up to defend our sovereignty? Not our potbellied merchants and businessmen. Not our generals golfer. Not to our residents Defense Housing Association.

No foreign assets holding our politicians whose children go to English medium private schools at home and abroad. Not our self-righteous media mogul, who berate our Slavic black skins and white masks. Not that our judges and corrupt officials. The wretched of the earth, the poorest of the poor, who eat grass.

For too long we have made foreign scapegoats for our own mistakes and corruptions. It is time to wake up and put our house in order, without begging or reprimand the United States.
