I get many, many, many messages like this. And I feel that the biggest problem in our country is trust, which is broken — not everything else. Everything else is great.
For example, I just got this message today:
“My name is Ayesha Khan. I live in Karachi. I’m a housewife. I have 4 kids. I’m 35 years old. I graduated in Arts. I have 2 years’ experience of teaching tuition classes — Urdu, English, Islamiat. I want to be an independent woman, that’s why I’m joining this group. So many times I tried online platforms, but mostly they are fake or too tough. I want to learn.”
Now look at this. Ayesha thinks platforms are fake, that she might get scammed. But I want to tell her and all my brothers and sisters: you’re not being scammed.
If somebody charges you 5,000 rupees, 10,000 rupees, even 25,000 rupees, and you spend a month there, and you learned something — it’s not a scam. It builds your confidence. It builds new friends. It gives you something which you might not realize at first.
Somebody is trying to teach you, give you a place to connect, give you a place to network, and help you grow.
I don’t even know what really “scam” means. What exactly does scam mean to you? Tell me. People call me a scammer too. But I don’t understand — why is it a scam?
If you really knew what you now know before, then how is it a scam?
You spent 10 years going to school. Ten years of your life. You went every day, 6 hours a day, tried to learn something, made you into a person. But that did not give you liberation. That did not give you independence. Was that a scam too? Do you want to call it a scam?
Many people call that a scam. I would not call it a scam. I think it was inefficient. It wasted 10 years of our life, giving us the skills which we don’t need in the 21st century, and not giving us the tools which we do need in the 21st century.
But I don’t think it was a scam. I think they taught us what they knew. And if our parents knew any better, and if there were better institutions, we would not have been there.
So isn’t this a scam, that we are scamming other people when we know something and we are not teaching them what we can teach them?
Can’t we just pull out our phone, start teaching people how to make a biryani? Billions of people don’t know how to make biryani. Why is it bad to teach somebody how to make biryani? It’s not bad.
The reason you are not teaching is because you are shy. So if somebody is taking advantage of your shyness, which you didn’t conquer, and then after 2 months of training, spending 20, 40, 50 thousand rupees, you got over your shyness — how is that a scam? You learned something.
Look again at Ayesha. She wants to be independent, but she is afraid because she thinks most online platforms are fake. Imagine she spends 20,000 rupees, learns how to teach online, makes her first student abroad, and earns her first dollar. Was that a scam? Or was that the first step to her freedom?
The day you get married, you spend 1 million rupees to get married, feed people who you don’t know, or who don’t do anything for you. Isn’t that a scam? That’s a big scam.
So what is exactly a scam?
Please respect your teachers, institutions, even your scammers — because they are trying to teach you something, a lesson, and you are paying for that lesson.
Harvard charges $100,000 a year for that scam. But it’s not a scam. It’s a process you go through, which makes you come out of your comfort zone, and you learn something. That is called learning, not scamming.
Please stop worrying about scammers. Worry about yourself. Because if everybody is able to scam you, it was not him who tricked you — it was you. You were so innocent, so illiterate, that you couldn’t use Google, you couldn’t use ChatGPT to investigate. You didn’t have the energy or the confidence in AI and computers to stop yourself from being scammed.
So please read this article 3 times. Try to understand what I am saying here. And if you don’t understand, instead of commenting rubbish, ask me a question that makes sense.
But before you ask me, ask ChatGPT.
God bless you.
