Income was too less so, that's why the whole family went only one-time restaurant for dinner in a month. After five days, they went on a picnic and come to the dining table two times a day. Her wife wants to visit new places, however in that income, they can't afford it. So she saved money in a whole year and, after a year, they came out from Memphis.

After sending four days, when they were packing their luggage waiter came with a bill. Kemmons Wilson picked up the bill, and he became fidgety. When he show that bill to his wife, she also became confused. They both asked the waiter that " How you charged 20 dollars for an 8 dollar room" the waiter said, " Sir, In Washington, every hotel charged 2 dollars per children, and you have five kids. So, that's why 8+10=18, and 4 dollars for TV, the music you listened in the hall and warm water that you used". Kemmons Wilson became angry but, he paid the bill. At that moment, before they were leaving the hotel. He said to his wife, Dorothy Lee, I will make an advance, full of luxuries, and cheap hotels. There will be no charge payment for children. She look towards him and said, " You must be joking". He returned to her and said, Dorothy, I will make the chain of 400 hotels and prove to the world that Kemmons Wilson is the Hercules of hotels business. After that, he makes the advanced map of his hotel and shares his plan with his best friend, Eddie Bluestein. Eddy smiled and said, " so you want this name " When Kemmons Wilson listened to that statement, He shouted, Yes, I will, and after few years when he opened the 1100's branch of his hotel. He invited his friend Eddy and asked him to inaugurate this branch. Kemmons Wilson opened his first hotel in 1952 in Memphis. When he opened it, people's reaction was so good then he didn't stopped one after another he opened branches of his hotel. In August 1997, he became the owner of 1170 " Holiday Inn " hotels in the world.

He went to the Hills College for his lecture. Where all the giant businessmen received him and thirteen minutes people clap for him. He said, I m not Ashamed that when I shared my idea with eddy after reached his home, I don't have enough money to get a train ticket. Today I, announced after this journey of success," There is no need of money for success. The thing you need is Passion. My success depends on three rules. I didn't lose my Courage after any loss. I didn't feel sad about my mistake, and I didn't waste a single second. Trust me, I have just complained to God that why not, he makes a day of 90 hours. One journalist asked him a question" Mr. Wilson, you didn't feel tired in your life" he answered, " If gardener becomes tired, then there will be no fruits on plants."

Is Pakistan Air Force reviving?

I want to write on this topic from last few days. However, I cannot due to some busy schedule. As you have seen the title, you have a hunch on it about the Pakistan Air Force (PAF). Let me start by telling you one story. Few days ago, I met my friend. He is working on one of the PAF projects, and he revealed to me a shocking fact. He said that we build our first radar. I asked him with a bewildered look on my face that, "PAF didn't make radars on their own?". He said, "No, PAF buys radars from foreign countries: Germany and China." That news made me exhilarated, and I hope you will be feeling happy after knowing about it. Day by Day, Pakistan is on its way towards self-development. My friend told me about some previous scenarios. He said, "In retrospect, we had to pay a major amount for the acquisition of a single radar." We would wait for months if we had to deal with a problem or to add a new feature. We also had to pay extra money for that new featu...

Pakistan, TTP and Afghanistan

Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef is an Afghan diplomat who was the Afghan Ambassador to Pakistan before the US invasion of Afghanistan. Mullah Zaeef had the immunity as an ambassador; that's why America was unable to detain him. America handed over this task to General Pervez Musharraf. Riaz Muhammad Khan was the Representative of the Foreign Office at that time. He took a stand against that order; his motive was that Ambassadors have immunity in wars then: Why do we have to arrest him? Secondly, he said that we confront two outcomes from that step: we lost Afghanistan and the world trust. After that step, Not a single country in the world sends its Ambassadors to Pakistan. If the Taliban comes again in power, how will we face him? Riaz gave a piece of advice to Musharraf that we inform the Ambassador about the current situation, and he comfortably flew from Pakistan. General Musharraf didn't accept his advice and ordered to arrest the Afghan Ambassador.  Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef write...
