One of things I learned from Dr. Fakhar was that a brilliant individual cannot achieve the same level of success as a team of motivated & jelled-in individuals. Maulana Muhammad Ali Johar was one of the greatest personalities and visionaries of the sub-continent but he could not make an impact as big as other great leaders of his time, just because he had no team. He was a perfectionist and expected the same from others. All those who worked for him always fell short of his expectations and towards the last years of his life he could not find people willing to work for him.
One of the basic mistakes Team Leaders make is to compare the time & quality of their junior’s work with the same level (of time & quality) had they done the same work. They fail to understand the basic fact that their junior is their junior just because he does not have the same level of expertize & experience as they do, otherwise he would have been at their position.

One of things I learned:
Teams jell-in only when they set the right expectations from each others.

Your stakes are high when you’ve worked hard to achieve something. When you’re making sacrifices along the way to ensure everything goes according to plan, “surprise” is something least expected. But if you’re a Student of FAST you better be prepared for surprises. Surprises that would nullify and rip-apart all you efforts & sacrifices in just a few moments. You might end up being a NOBODY.

NOBODY is, what you actually were, are and will be. But you’re never given this impression until now. Because until now, you were important, because you and your efforts were required. So now, when you’re NOT required, you’re not important. And when you’re not important, you’re just a NOBODY.

At the top of the picture is SOMEBODY. That SOMEBODY has all the rights; even the right to make the wrong decisions. And NOBODY has the right to question SOMEBODY.

If you’re confused, my apologies for that. But if you’re a student of FAST, you better get used to it.

This blog-post is a dedication to the imposing attitude of SOMEBODY, who cancelled SOFTEC today and surprised NOBODY.
