Covey‟s paradigm shift


Covey‟s final words…
• As I conclude this book, I would like to
share my personal conviction concerning
what I believe to be the source of correct
principles.
• I believe God, the Creator… is the source
of them, and also the source of our
conscience
• I believe to the degree people live by this
inspired conscience, they will grow to
fulfill their nature
• To the degree that they do not, they will
not rise above the animal plane…

Sura 5
Al-Ma'idah (The Table With Food)
48 (O Prophet!) to you WE have sent the Book (Al-Quran),
with the truth, verifying that which came before it from
the (Eternal) Book, and as guardian over it. Therefore
judge between them according to what Allah has
revealed, and do not follow their base desires, (thus
turning) away from what has come to you of the Truth.
For each (nation) among you WE have laid down a
code of law, and a way of life; if Allah had so wished,
HE would have made you a single Ummah, a people of
one belief, but (HE intends to) try you by what HE has
given you (people of various communities). Therefore,
vie with one another in doing good. To Allah is
your return; then HE will make known to you that
about which you have been at variance,

LDCs vs DCs
• The world can be divided into two
segments based on economic
development.
– More-developed countries typically have per
capita income exceeding $10,000.

– Less-developed countries typically have a per
capita income less than $5,000.
• Expected to grow 55% by 2050.


Population Growth and Economic Development


Human Population Trends and
Implications
• Largest population increase expected in
poor, underdeveloped countries.
– Population density relates the size of the
population to available resources.
• Countries with abundant resources can sustain
higher population densities than resource-poor
countries.
– Generally believed the quality of life for many people in
the world would improve if the population grew at a
slower rate.

Pakistan Solutions!

From SMIOK!

Law and order
• Police Problem
– 50 years of consistent corruption in the public
sector have destroyed the police as an
institution
– In a civilized environment, the police plays the
role of protectors, not exploiters or helpers of
the rich and VIPs, as in our case
– Police CANNOT be reformed, once you are
used to bribes, 10x your salary is less…


Police Solution
• DIVIDE army into 2 units
– External defense (as of right now)
– Internal defense
• MERGE the police force into the army ranks
• Send ALL police personnel to borders for ATLEAST 2
years for moral and physical rebuilding
• Replace police with
– Serving sepoys headed by serving captains/majors OR
– RETIRED sepoys headed by retired captains/majors
• Let the “new” police build bonds with community and
reform procedures at the same time
• Gen Musharaff Presentation


Justice
• OBJECTIVE: Quick, simple solutions to
legal problems

amend contract act of 1872, companies
ordinance to SIMPLIFY laws

victimized should be freed


Infrastructure

infrastructure, roads, build and maintain
development programs, cantonments, let them

sector, let them advertise
on roads and
infrastructure they build

campaigns, instead of
wasting money on
conferences and
“marketing”
– Solicit army expertise


Education
• Problems • Solutions
– Over focus on higher – Educate MOTHERS so
education, less focus on they can teach at home
primary/ middle – Let NEWSPAPERS carry

personnel help

Subject: some thoughts
– prolonged power cuts during summers
– shortage of water
– traffic jam / diversion due to VIP movements - patients do not get timely
– medical aid resulting in deaths due to VIP movement. this has actually
– happened many times.
– daily rise in petrol prices
– price hike during Ramadan - basically in the west during festive seasons
– sales are announced so that even the poor can celebrate in a small way.
– however in Pak it the other way around prices are doubled.
– slash in profit rates on savings - a retired personnel's only source of
– income
– measly increase in payments to pensioners

Sura 2
Al-Baqarah (The Cow)
• 82 But those who believed and acted righteously will
remain in Paradise. They will remain there forever
• 150 From whatever place you issue forth, turn your face
in the direction of the Sacred Mosque. Wherever you
Believers may happen to be, turn your faces toward the
Qiblah so that for the common people there will be no
cause for argument against you, except among those
who act perversely. Do not fear them, fear ME, that I
may thus complete MY favors on you, and you may
tread the right path
