    Task topic:Mulla Nasrudin & the Donkey's Price
    Mulla Nasrudin took his donkey to the market, hoping to sell it for a good price. Many people laughed when they saw the old donkey, but Mulla believed it was special and valuable.
    A wealthy man asked Mulla, “Why is your donkey so expensive?” Mulla smiled and said, “Because this donkey is loyal—it always brings me back home no matter where I go.”
    The crowd laughed at Mulla’s clever answer, but they also understood his wisdom. True value is not always about beauty or strength—it’s about loyalty and trust.
    Always appreciate the people and things that stay loyal to you through every situation. Loyalty is rare, and that makes it priceless.

    You don’t need money, special skills, or a perfect moment to make someone’s day better. **Kindness is one of the simplest gifts we can give—and it costs nothing.**
    **A Smile Can Brighten Someone’s Day**
    A genuine smile, a friendly greeting, or a few encouraging words can make an ordinary moment feel a little brighter.
    **Choose Kind Words**
    Words have power. A compliment, a thank-you, or a thoughtful message can remind someone that they are appreciated.
    **Help When You Can**
    Small acts of help—sharing, listening, encouraging, or offering a hand—can make a meaningful difference.
    **Kindness Spreads**
    One kind action can inspire another. When people treat each other with patience and compassion, positive moments can spread through families, schools, workplaces, and communities.
    **Kindness Doesn’t Have to Be Big**
    You don’t need to make a grand gesture. Sometimes the smallest actions matter most: listening carefully, including someone, saying “thank you,” or simply being patient.
    **Remember:**
    **Kindness is free, but its value can be priceless.**
    Today, choose one small act of kindness.
    Smile. Listen. Help. Encourage. Appreciate.
    You never know how much a simple kind moment might mean to someone.
    **Be the reason someone experiences a little more kindness today.**

    A man asked Mulla Nasrudin,
    **"How much is your donkey?"**
    Mulla smiled and replied,
    **"The donkey costs $100... but if it starts giving advice like me, its price becomes priceless!"**
    The man laughed and said,
    **"Why?"**
    Mulla answered,
    **"A donkey carries your load... but wisdom carries your life."**
    **Lesson:** Never judge value by appearance alone. True worth comes from wisdom, knowledge, and the ability to help others.

  • Time

    Your time should not be without any structure, such that you occupy yourself arbitrarily with whatever comes along. Rather, you must take account of yourself and order your worship during the day and the night, assigning to each period of time an activity that must not be neglected nor replaced by another activity. By this ordering of time, the blessing in time will show itself. A person who leaves himself without a plan as animals do, not knowing what he is to do an any given moment, will spend most of his time fruitlessly. Your time is your life, and your life is your capital: by it you make your trade, and by it you will reach the eternal bounties in the proximity of Allah. Every single breath of yours is a priceless jewel, because it is irreplaceable; once it is gone, there is no return for it. So do not be like fools who rejoice each day as their wealth increases while their lives decrease. What good is there in wealth that increases while one’s lifespan decreases? Do not rejoice except in an increase of knowledge or an increase of good works. Truly they are your two friends who will accompany you in your grave, when your spouse, your wealth, your children, and your friends will remain behind.”

    — Imam al-Ghazali

  • Attracting Good Leaders

    为民服务 is not 为名服务. Service is not for Fame.

    The privilege to serve the people is an honor. To those devoted to improving our society, this is the reward itself to see so many people improve their quality of lives through your work.

    This opportunity to devote ones life to others at policy making level is priceless for those with the humility to understand this.

    Those distracted by Fame, Power, Money and Status are not the best breed. They tend to be elitist and aloft.

    The reason it is hard to attract good spirited and capable people to politics (both in ruling in opposition parties) is not because the pay is too low. It is because the spirit is too low.

    We need to build strong nation building culture so that the more good people are willing to come forward serve.

    Just like finding a spouse: Money is needed to pay bills, but if there is no Love, it is unsustainable.

  • WARNING: LONG POST AHEAD but DEFINITELY WORTH THE READ! The story of generating $2.4 million USD in revenue within 12 months (PL). This post is mainly for fresh aspiring Sellers & VAs as well as old sellers and VAs struggling in their journey & for those who are following Amazon FBA for a while but not taking ACTIONS.

    After Rehan Allahwala shared my story on his wall, so many people are reaching out to me asking questions about FBA business so I thought to share a few points with you guys but before that, I’ve to mention that if I can do it, you can definitely do it. I don’t have any competitive advantage over you guys, my English is weak and my Urdu is not perfect. I’m not a software engineer either but still was able to make it.

    Yes, I’m not a BC student but I’m strongly recommending everyone who is reading this post to enroll in BC (from any reputable organization) because Amazon FBA is a capital-intensive business and you’ll need a dedicated support system every day (I should say every minute). Amazon FBA is a proper business and you would never learn it just by watching videos, it’s not like learning Photoshop. There are so many things which you won’t be able to learn just by watching videos it too when Amazon is updating so many things on a monthly/ quarterly basis. I watched courses worth $3k to $5k USD but I’ve to tell you that the knowledge was very basic. Believe me, I was like watching more than 10 videos on youtube just to learn how to create variations on a listing and it was so confusing because connecting the dots was so difficult for me. So learning from 1 mentor at the beginning will make your life much easier.

    I’ve got the utmost respect for everyone who preaches and teaches Amazon FBA in Pakistan, believe me, the knowledge is priceless. Imagine having your own shop in Newyork, London, Berlin, and Paris selling your own products to locals? Sounds good? Isn’t it? Amazon FBA is providing you exactly the same opportunity.

    My short journey starts here…I was working for a few sellers in the early days of my FBA journey where I asked one of my clients to make a partnership with me as she was not good at FBA. Thankfully she agreed and l started product research and we launched a product within 2 months. It was the month of March 2019, we started with just $8k USD and then subsequently launched 2 more products in the same brand, only these 3 products generated a revenue of $2.1 million in the last 12 months. Imagine having 40 to 50 such products? We’ve launched another brand too recently in the US.

    My Biggest Achievement: The day my partner informed me that she’s finally resigning from her job, the job she was doing in the same organization for 9 years, it was a special moment as my effort was the reason making her financially, location and time-independent in such a short time of period. The brand is now worth $1.3 million based on the monthly profit. And all this happened in less than 2 years having only 3 products.

    Key points for VAs!

    Treat your client like an average person and not like a money-making machine. He/ She is also struggling for a better life just like you. So don’t make fake promises. Don’t lie by claiming to be an expert in a specific skill, he/she might have invested their life savings in the business. I still remember the day when I was launching the first product, during the launch I was unable to sleep properly for 3 days just because $3k of my client was at stake. You need to build that kind of attitude, treat their business like your own.

    Key points for Sellers:

    Remember - Just one successful product can create a fortune for you. The most important part of FBA is finding the right product. Based on my experience, you’re already 50% successful if you have got the right product. For me, product research is an art, not just a skill.

    The second most important factor is the product launching strategy. Don’t underestimate these 2 if you want to be a successful Amazon FBA seller.

    Learn-Unlearn-Learn; I’m spending more than 2 hours daily been active in different Amazon FBA Facebook groups, watching videos, and reading posts. You need to keep your self updated if you want to win this race. Amazon is evolving very quickly so try to learn and unlearn things quickly. I don’t feel shy asking questions from a new seller or a multi million-seller, there’s always something to learn.

    Tip for sellers: Don’t ignore TikTok, the most downloaded app this year in the world and in the US. I got 1.3 million views for one of my products after paying just 100 dollars to an influencer. Do remember that your product should be unique or trendy if you want to work with influencers whose main niche is only creating videos for Amazon products because they tend to create videos for something new or unique. You can find influencers using hashtags #amazonbestfinds #amazonproduct #coupons etc.

    I’m wishing you all very good luck!

    Thanks for reading.
