Aaj hona dedar sajan daa Aaj hona Dedar mahi daa

I saw this small clip where Indian singer Master Saleem who sung many folk songs and specially expert in singing the songs from Nusrat Fathe Ali Khan.

In that video Master Saleem sung with Rahat Fahey Ali khan. And both did Jugal Bandi. means, they song classical voices like tha thaa, theyaa. And it was amazing.

Master Saleem did not have original anything he did copy and copy better then original. While Rahat Fahtey Ali kahan has many original work and a lot of kinship from Nusrat Faht Ali Khan. I remember some old video on PTV. Where is was sitting beside Nusrate Fathey Ali Khan and just do some supporting work. After the death of Nusrat, He lost everything but he did a lot of efforts he had to put make him up to mark. I still remember on Pakistani singer abbas Rufi. He also excellent copy and generate similar voice of Nusrate Fath ali Khan. At that time, when nusrate Fath died, he is better then Raahat if both sung same song.

But now both have huge name. Rahat is legend and Abbas rufi lost in time.

Only difference is efforts. Efforts for long term goal. Effort beyond when people drop dead, they still continue effort.

In Master saleem and Rahat Faht Ali Khan jugal Bandi, Rahat Faht wins because he put more efforts and has original work. He switched the raag But Master saleem has what only he copied. He continued but beated by Rahat due to orignality and more expertise in classic singing. And he build this expertise by putting more efforts then Master saleem.

There are many stories, where you are nothing, failure but from instance you decide and start working with long term efforts you can still wins. With efforts, with dedication. You can create difference.

Even we beat Talent.

“Talent counts, effort counts twice.”

Angela Duckworth,

Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance

Above mention quote, Angela Duckworth. Mentioned that Talent counts, but with double efforts you can compete talent.

Grit is effort for long term goals and put efforts.

“Grit has two components: passion and perseverance.”

This only story of singer, who has heritage of His uncle but was nothing when his uncle died, he put efforts and make his space. Long term efforts. Many who have duplicate copies of Nusrat, the made their own spaces but did not go beyond exceptional.

So it is your time, For example biggest challenge I have communication. I can do work. I can put efforts to resolve problems. But what makes me excellent worker is communication. People beats me due to my this weakness.

I unable to show my work to management. Some times people think it politics. But actually, many people doing efforts to achieve or get same goal. But who wins, that one who has good communication. Who shows his work.

I have to work on my communication. But let me know what’s yours. What is your long term goal.

How you built grit.

For building grit you need. Goal. vision. What you want to achieve. What you want to change in yourself.

And then long term efforts. there is no short cuts. Efforts long term.

You can beat talent but twice efforts or more efforts then talented person doing.

Ah, who am I.

I want to become blogger, writer. So I start this blog.

I am Pakistani. By profession I am software engineer.

The only rule what I learn in life if you want to learn something, start doing it.

What Sir  Richard Branson Said in his book. “Screw it lets do it”. If you really want to do something. Dont stop due that you do know how to do that. Just start doing it. ” You will figure it out during journey how to do it.”

So I want to write something. Something that gives hope to others. Something positive.

So I start writing. I like seth godin blog from last 20 years, he writes on his blog. small posts.

So I want something similar.

So I start writing. you will find a lot of mistakes here, but you want message on each post. And that message is more important then spelling mistakes and grammatical mistakes.

I meet a sufi saint. One of biggest sadu cult of Pakistan. When some one come to him. He listen to him. And pray to Allah, mola will full fill your wishes.

When I visited him, he asked what you want. I said just come to meet you. It was time of 2012. round 10 years ago. I meet him on Mela chargah lahore. It was time, when I started to explore whats around me. I am not accepting the realities of life. Failures, misery and betrayal. I replied, nothing, I just come to visit you. He gave me cup full of sweet rice. And reply. “ Daan waalah raab hayee, baanda kisee ko kay dae sakta hayee, Main to buss sun laana haan,” Wish granter is only Almighty, I can just listen with devotion.

Basically he is only hope seller. He just listen and pray to allah. listening is some time the only cure. Aas lag jatee haye, huk lag jati hayee.

So if we listen to some one. Biggest gift we can give them is our time. And then pray to Almighty. Or we give them hope, things will be better. Possible it will help him.

Hope is only thing we have. Possible hope is biggest gift we can give to any one. So if someone come to you and what is sharing is obvious , but give him hope. Things will be better, bad days will gone. good days will come.

The term I remember, from film Three Idiot “ All is well. “. Things will be better, time will be changed.

Lets become best seller of hope.

Little delay works. couple of years back. When you go to purchase some food. Every thing is ready, but they do little delay. Waiting sir we are preparing something fresh. 90 percent things already cooked. But they delay. They delay to make customer stratified. Something fresh is coming. If they deliver immediately. Customer think, they deliver left over or some one return order.

Little delay is blessing. It gives satisfaction.
