I do often think & now realized that there many categories of people who intend to do some work other than their usual routine.
Category-1: The people falls in this category are those who always think about & go for something with their heart & soul.
They dedicate themselves to work for others without any personal benefit.
Category-2: The people in this category are those inspired by category-1 & join them but during & at the end they always look for their own personal benefit.
Category-3: The people in this category always resist any thing initiated by category-1 & joined by category-2.
These people have an excellent energy in motivating likeminded people in their own way.
Category:4: The people in this category pose themselves in category-1, but they act like those in category-3, they wanted themselves to be elevated as category-2.
Category-5: these people don’t want to involve them on front & they either participate or isolate themselves without falling in any category.
I have come across with such types quite frequently in my profession as well as in personal & social life.While incorporating all above categories while doing work for jamiaets in this part, its very strange to find the percentage breakdown of all above categories below.
Category-1: less than 1%
Category-2: between 3-5%
Category-3: between 5-7%
Category-4: between 2-3%
Category-5: 85-90%
There are ample examples of people in each category, but as it seems the people fewer in percentage has more impact rather than the people in majority.
Since this blog is for jamiaets, therefore, i will be talking about the people around me from the same institution.
My friends ( so called) always alleged me of being more social & then trap in trouble!
There might be a problem that exists within me; however, it can be visa versa.
From one perspective everything i do is wrong, but from my perspective it is not!
Since i have categorized people therefore the percentage of people who agree with me can fall in category-5, which consist of majority, however, the people in remaining category are very crucial to be analyzed as they have greater influence on category-5 or within the other categories.
It becomes the personal perspective or approach how you are looking at some one.
In order to establish a platform, one need to be social.
Being a social, you cant decide the people to be social with immediately, it needs time to understand their behavior.
Once you understand behavior, then they can be categorized easily & by that time it might be too late to withdraw easily & one has to pay certain price to get out from the situation.
In the end, you might end up with few or none to be put in category-1, however, there will be plenty to fall under cat-1 to 4.
I had a past when i consider many in category-1, however, they were from cat-2 .
Slowly, the migration took place & people change their place & in no time they jump to cat-4, which according to me, cause more damage then any body else when even compare with cat-2.
So, what is the remedy?
don’t initiate anything?
don’t fall in category-1?
If that happens, then nothing can be done!
There fore one has to initiate to conclude something.
There are many, who pose judgmental straight away, however they are not in real sense.
Opposition, resistance, betrayal are coexist with initiation of any public or social platform & much more.
It is we who decide ourselves to be part of something or not!
It is we who put ourselves in specific categories according to our strength & weaknesses.
It is we who wants to be a winner all the times without having a clear understanding or merit & demerits of the category we have chosen.
It is we, who wants to be a winner always from category-1, despite of our actions relates to some other category!
Most of the time people are cautious about their image which never exists....
They always look at others, what they do, what they think instead of an ability to analyze what is right & what is wrong!
My past 15 years in Dubai has given me so much strength while working for jamiaets to take blame spread by those in minority, less courageous, selfish & cowards to stand firm with truth & for those who really need me.
Every human being make mistakes so do I,
One of my friend called me up & says, Zubair, quit please.
I asked why?
he said there is so much shit thrown on you, that even i feel pain.
I asked him, why should i give up? Because there is some one hiding behind some thing, not disclosing him self & trying to taint my image?
Just because, he is coward, why should i give up?
Will you?
He said yes!
& he gave up.
I told him, no matter what happens, i will never, because this is not the first time & this will not the last time that someone comes who belongs to cat-4 start spreading nonsense with a purpose that zubair will give up...it will never happen (inshah ALLAH)
There are times when you look around & found no strong hand for your help....it gives pain.
But, when you look back at the trail of work you have done, analyze your intentions & look up..the help always arrive from ALLAH.
When Allah is with you, then you don’t need any body.
I still remember the stage at the occasion of first official gathering of jamiaets in Dubai in 1999...when i read a sher.
Gale laga lo har insaan ko, ki woh apna he
chalo tau rahguzaroN meiN baant-te hue pyar.
I have given love to all as a friend & as brother....but, i can’t change the human nature, as they were free to choose their own category.
I tried to extend myself for those who need my assistance in their hour of need & tried to do whatever within my control with the help of ALLAH with no intention to get direct praise of benefit from them
Indeed....I also get what every human being gets after doing some good work BLAME, ACCUSATIONS, ABUSE etc etc.
It doesn’t mean that i can digest all above all the times.......
But, after a lot of experience, i understand to control myself a bit.
Ultimately another things pops up, which is none other than EGO!
The word EGO has big meaning & enormous impact on human life & i think it can be discussed separately.
Despite of my first sher, which indeed my philosophy to start with any thing, there are few more that comes on the way step by step.
The second one state when you dream & want to proceed....
Rah ki Thokar bani thi apne hi dil ki jhijhak
jab qadam aage badhaya saaf rasta mil gaya.
The third one.....always enlighten my perceptions to go for any endeavor.
Toofan kar raha tha mere azm ka tawaf
duniya samajh rahi thi ke kishti bhanwar meiN he
The fourth one is again interesting which symbolize for strength, intelligence & to some extent "tolerance"
faqat yeh badha hua daste dosti hi nahi
humeiN qubool he woh bhi jo aasteen meiN he.
In order to part of any category, one has to make a choice,
This is the choice followed by your work that made you to the part of any category but the question remains same.
Its very easy to be part of category-5
Its very difficult to be the part of category-1
I remember the saying of late PM of India Ms.Indira gandhi.
“My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was less competition there.”
I do agree with that & therefore i have written my observations.
I hope people will read it & try to figure out which category they are from?
