نو ایسی عادتیں جنہیں آپ کو فوراً ترک کردینا چاہیئے bad habits you must leave
نو ایسی عادتیں جنہیں آپ کو فوراً ترک کردینا چاہیئے
۔—اے ایف پی فائل فوٹو۔
بیسٹ سیلر کتاب کے مصنف ٹم فیرس نے نو ایسی عادتوں کو ترک کرنے کی تجویز دی ہے جس سے آپ کی زندگی پر مثبت اثرات مرتب ہوسکتے ہیں۔
پوڈکاسٹ کے دوران تجاویز پیش کرتے ہوئے فیرس کا کہنا تھا کہ ہر پریشان کا ایک ایک کرکے سامنے کیا جانا چاہیے اور انہیں خود پر حاوی کرلینے کا کوئی فائدہ نہیں ہوتا۔
انہوں نے کہا کہ اگر آپ ایسا کرنے میں کامیاب ہوجاتے ہیں تو پھر اختتامی نتیجہ آپ کے حق میں بہتر ثابت ہوسکتا ہے اور آپ کی پیداواری صلاحیت میں اضافہ ہوسکتا ہے۔
نامعلوم نمبر سے کال وصول نہیں کریں
فیرس اس حوالے سے دو وجوہات پیش کرتے ہیں۔ پہلے تو یہ کہ ایسی کسی کال کا جواب دینے سے آپ کی توجہ میں خلل پیدا ہوجائے گی اور آپ کا قیمتی وقت برباد ہوگا۔دوسرا یہ کہ اگر یہ کال اہم بھی ہے تو آپ خود کو ایک کمزور پوزیشن پر پائیں گے کیوں کہ آپ جس سے بات کررہے ہیں وہ پہلے ہی اس کال کے لیے خود کو پوری طرح تیار کرچکا ہے لیکن آپ کو ایسا اسی لمحے کرنا پڑے گا۔ ایسی صورت حال پر کالر سے ایس ایم ایس یا ای میل کی درخواست کرنا بہتر ہے۔
ای میل دن کا پہلا یا آخری کام نہیں ہونا چاہیے
صبح اٹھ کر ای میل کرنے سے آپ کی دن بھر کی پلاننگ متاثر ہوسکتی ہے اور آپ کی ترجیحات بھی تبدیل ہوسکتی ہیں جبکہ دیر رات ای میل کرنے سے آپ کی نیند متاثر ہوگی۔ فیرس کے مطابق پہلے دن کا کوئی اور ضروری کام کرنے کے بعد ای میل کیجئے۔
کسی مخصوص ایجنڈے کے بغیر میٹنگز نہ کریں
اگر اس ملاقات کے نتیجے کا فیصلہ پہلے سے ہی طے ہے تو اسے 30 منٹ سے زیادہ جاری نہیں رہنا چاہیے۔ فیرس کے مطابق ملاقاتیوں سے پہلے ہی اس حوالے سے بات کی جائے تاکہ گزارے گئے وقت کا بھرپور فائدہ حاصل کی جاسکے۔ اگر میٹنگ کا ایجنڈہ طے نہیں ہوپارہا تو ایسی میٹنگز سے گریز کیا جائے۔
’ٹہلانے‘ والے لوگوں سے بچیں
سننے میں تھوڑا سخت لگ سکتا ہے لیکن یہ ضروری ہے۔ فیرس کا ماننا ہے کہ جب لوگ اپنی چھٹیوں کے حوالے سے یا ادھر ادھر کی باتیں کرنے لگ جائیں تو انہیں پیار سے سمجھادیا جائے کیوں کہ اس طرح کی بات چیت سے آپ کا قیمتی وقت برباد ہوگا۔
لیکن اس بات کا خیال رکھیں کہ یہ تجویز ہر کسی کے لیے اور ہر صورت حال کے اندر قابل عمل نہیں ہے۔ اس حوالے سے اپنے اردگرد کے ماحول کو جانچنا انتہائی ضروری ہے۔
ای میل بار بار چیک نہ کریں
ای میل چیک کرنے کے اوقات وضع کرلیے جائیں اور پھر انہی کی پیروی کی جائے۔ فیرس کے مطابق آپ کا انباکس کوکین کی لت کی طرح ہوسکتا ہے اس لیے اسے بار بار چیک کرنے سے خود کو روکنا چاہیے۔ فیرس مشورہ دیتے ہیں کہ ای میل دن میں دو مرتبہ چیک کریں۔
کم منافع بخش گفتگو میں خود کو نہ الجھائیں
فیرس کہتے ہیں کہ آپ ایک فہرست بنالیں جس میں ان 20 فیصد صارفین کو جو آپ کی کمپنی کے لیے 80 فیصد منافع کا باعث ہیں، ایسے صارفین سے علیحدہ کرلیں جن تعداد چاہیں 80 فیصد کیوں نہ ہو لیکن ان سے منافع بہت کم ہوتا ہے۔ فیرس مشورہ دیتے ہیں کہ ایسے صارفین کو ’آٹو پائلٹ‘ کا رکھا جائے۔
زیادہ مصروف لگنے کے لیے زیادہ کام نہ کریں
فیرس کا ماننا ہے کہ زیادہ کام کا جواب مزید کام اپنے سر لے لینا نہیں۔ ان کا کہنا تھا کہ آرام سے بیٹھ پر اپنی ترجیحات درست کیجئے اور سب سے ضروری ہو پہلے اس پر دھیان دیں۔
ان کا کہنا ہے کہ اگر آپ کے پاس وقت کی کمی ہے تو آپ کی ترجیحات درست نہیں اسلیے زیادہ محنت سے قبل زیادہ سوچنا زیادہ ضروری ہے۔
کبھی کبھار فون کی جان چھوڑ دینا اچھی بات ہوتی ہے
کم از کم ہفتے میں ایک مرتبہ اپنے اسمارٹ فون کو ایسے جگہ پر رکھ دیں جہاں آپ کے لیے اس تک رسائی آسان نہ ہو۔
اگر آپ کو یہ پڑھ کر پریشانی ہورہی ہے تو اس تجویز پر عمل کرنے کی سب سے زیادہ ضرورت آپ ہی کو ہے۔
فیملی اہم ہے
فیرس کہتے ہیں کہ کام ہی کرنا سب کچھ نہیں۔ ہر کوئی اس جملے سے اتفاق کرے گا لیکن حقیقت میں ہمارے قول اور فعل میں تضاد ہوتا ہے۔ اپنے پیاروں کے ساتھ وقت گزاریں اور اس وقت کی اہمیت کو سمجھیں اور دلچسپی لیں۔ اس سے نہ صرف آپ کے رشتے مضبوط ہوں گے بلکہ آپ کی نوکری یا کاروبار پر بھی مثبت اثرات مرتب ہوں گے۔

Role students and intellectuals in reformation and modernization of society
One example of this change is Russia, which was under the grip of old medieval conservative traditions and customs, while other countries of Europe were advancing technologically, scientifically and intellectually.
Peter, the czar pioneered modernisation of the Russian society by introducing the European model. However, he was more interested in introducing modern technology rather than political and social reforms, so he maintained the old autocratic political system ruled over by a powerful aristocracy.
However, once reformation began, the demand for more reforms gradually increased. Universities were founded, under strict supervision of government agencies, where students were acquainted with new ideas created in Europe by philosophers and writers. It is said that Nicholas 1(1825-1855), once stopped his carriage in front of the University of Petersburg and remarked that it was a “den of wolves”.
In the beginning these ‘wolves’ or students were mild and passive but on a staple diet of new ideas, they gradually became violent and aggressive. It was the love of their country and a passion to change the image of Russia that mobilised them to bring about change in order to be able to compete with other European countries.
The students read Kant, Hegel, French philosophers and socialist authors including Marx and became inspired to challenge the autocracy. They demanded more political rights in order to play an active role in politics.
To achieve their objectives, some students did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives. Some were tortured, while some were hanged, and others exiled to Siberia. They endured hardship for the sake of their country and society.
The other group which became very active was the new and emerging intelligentsia. Through their writings, they created patriotic feelings and passion among the readers to incite them to come forward and struggle for civil and democratic rights. Despite censorship and control of secret agencies, they spread their ideas among the educated classes. As a result of their efforts, new movements such as nihilism, populism, and socialism emerged with a fervour to rid the society of conservative traditions and transform it to a progressive model.
The change from above was brought about by the czars while the change from below was orchestrated by students, workers and the intelligentsia; together paving the way for the 1917 revolution. The whole narrative of change is exciting and inspiring to those who want to transform their society from conservatism to liberalism.
In Pakistan, students, workers and intellectuals compromise with the existing system and prefer to keep silent on critical issues. Since the time of Ayub Khan, students no longer play an effective political role and confine their activities to the college campus. Instead of raising a voice against injustice and exploitation, they waste their energy and are involved in activities like cheating in exams and harassing teachers. They are like puppets for their supporting political parties and their task is to disturb the academic atmosphere of universities and colleges. They are neither inspired by new ideas to challenge conservative traditions nor have a sense of respect and dignity.
When political parties dominate the campus with arms and weapons, they silence their opponents and the undemocratic and anti-liberal attitude of their party is reflected. One cannot expect these students who act like hooligans to play a positive role in society.
As far as the intelligentsia is concerned, it has played no positive role to create social and political awareness. During the tenure of Ayub Khan, they readily submitted to the agenda of the government and joined the Pakistan Writer’s Guild, set up by the government to establish a control on writing. They travelled by train from Karachi to different cities and expressed their support and loyalty to the dictator.
The same compromising policy was followed during the period of Z.A. Bhutto when the Academy of Letters was formed to ensure the support of writers for the government. When Gen Zia invited them to Ahl-i-qalam conferences, the majority would accept the invitation to show their allegiance to the military dictator.
When the media, students, intellectuals and trade union leaders fail to resist the existing system and take concessions for their own benefit, there is little hope left for change or betterment of the society. Lacking political consciousness, on the one hand people welcome military dictators as their deliverers and on the other hand, they are equally pleased when democracy comes into power. Their only hope for a solution of their issues either lies with a dictator or a democratic government.

Pakistan: Need for Classical conditioning for Development and progress
In an endeavour to understand human nature, thinkers and philosophers debate its changeability. Historical ac-counts of different nations show that although customs, traditions, culture, religious practice and law may control human behaviour, the reaction and attitude of a nation towards the society is influenced by economic and political progress.
As long as political institutions are stable and the economic system is strong enough to provide basic needs to people, societies sustain moral values. But when political and economic systems collapse, morality and legal systems also degenerate, resulting in chaos and disorder.
Greek historian Thucydides, in his book The History of the Peloponnesian Wars, compares the Athenians during peace and prosperity with the crisis they confronted during the plague.
Prior to the epidemic, the Athenians valued their freedom, democratic reforms and their victories in war. Their leader Pericles delivered the famous funeral oration and honoured those who were kil-led in the battlefield while defending the Republic of Athens. He praised the virtues of the city and its traditions and customs, creating a sense of pride among the audience.
Culturally superior to others, the Athenian society was a paragon of virtue and honour.
According to Thucydides` account of the war, the situation changed dramatically in the fifth century. Soon after the famous speech by Pericles, Athens was struck by a plague. This was when the Peloponnesian war refugees from the neighbouring villages and towns took shelter within the city of Athens. The overcrowding, hot and humid weather conditions, poor water supply and no sewerage led to the spread of the deadly virus.
Pericles himself died in the epidemic along with thousands of people, leaving behind a chaotic city.
In the absence of preventive measures and remedies, the disease rapidly spread through the city.
Dead bodies lay everywhere and people would throw corpses in the burning funeral pyres of other dead people, violating the tradition and custom of funerals.The plague destroyed the entire fabric of society which according to Thucydides, was the worst aspect of the plague. People abandoned the dead along with their sick friends and family. As self interest overpowered the feelings of fraternity and brotherhood, the sense of honour and sharing with others disappeared.
Some people took full advantage of the plague and the suffering and violated all social norms. They plundered, pillaged and accumulated wealth, enjoying the revelry and debauchery.
This account of events shows that human nature changes according to changing circumstances.
People behave differently in times of peace and prosperity as compared to times of war, famine, drought and pestilence.
History shows that when a nation progresses, the people are dignified.
But when the nation stagnates, so does the character of its people.
In view of this historical background, when we study the history of Pakistan we find that the behaviour of its people has changed with political and economic vicissitude.In its early history, the moral situation of the society had not degenerated so much as it has presently.The institutions worked efficiently, bureaucrats were not (that) corrupt and the politicians, although ac-cused of inefficiency, were not utterly venal. This is of course a generalisation, but a somewhat accurateone at that.
Repeated military interventions, wars and political in-fighting completely changed the structure and values of the society, resulting in disorder and chaos. The decline and failure of society has affected the behaviour of people. Moral values have lost their impact while self-interest has become the leitmotif for success.
The behaviour of people can only change for the better with economic and political stability.
According to the English philosopher John Locke, human nature is like a `tabula rasa` or a blank slate.
He believed that human nature is dependent on a good or bad environment. So if the state provides basic needs to people, the pleasant environment will reflect in the improved behaviour of the people.
They will respect moral values and preserve their dignity and virtues.
Based on this philosophy, the Western states have reformed education and health, thus positively impacting the lifestyle of people.
The ruling classes of Pakistan should also introduce reforms for education and health for the common man. This would change the human nature positively across the country. Failure to do so means the existing rate of decline will only pick up pace.
