The Girl Who Sold Solutions

 


In today's world, everyone is busy. Everyone has a mobile phone in their hand, but no one has time to listen.

 I live in a small town near Jhang and I see this every day.  In my street, there is an uncle who is always angry. People say he is a rude man. My friends told me to stay away from him.

One day, I saw him sitting alone outside his shop. His shop was empty. There were no customers.

I was scared, but I went to him and said, "Assalam-o-Alaikum Uncle, why is  no one coming to your shop?" 

He looked at me and his eyes were full of tears. He said, "My child, I do not know how to use a mobile phone. All the other shops take orders on WhatsApp, but I do not know how to do that. So, everyone has forgotten my shop."

I understood his real problem. His problem was not angry, his problem was that he was left behind.

I sat with him for one hour. I created a WhatsApp Business account for his shop. I took pictures of his products and uploaded them as his status. I also taught him how to say "Thank you" to his customers.

Within one week, his shop became busy again. He started smiling. He told me, "My child, you did not just fix my shop, you fixed my heart. You listened to my problem."

Moral: In today's world, people do not always need your money. They need you to listen to their problem and offer a small solution. When you solve someone's small problem, Allah will solve your big problems.

5 Simple Habits That Make You a Topper in Class - Tried and Tested

5 Simple Habits That Make You a Topper in Class Everyone thinks toppers are born intelligent. That is not true. I have seen many average students become toppers just by changing their daily habits. I am sharing 5 very simple habits that I learned from my own student life in Kalri. If you follow them for 30 days, you will see a big difference. 1. Make a Small Daily Target Toppers never say "I will study all day." They make a small, clear target. For example, today I will complete 2 chapters of Physics. When you complete a small target, you feel confident and you want to study more. Write your target on a paper and stick it on your wall. 2. Wake Up Early and Revise The best time to learn something is early morning. Even if you wake up just 1 hour before your usual time, you can revise everything you studied last night. In the morning, your mind is fresh and you remember things for a long time. 3. Stay Away From Your Phone While Studying This is the hardest but most important ha...

Why Is It Always Daughters Who Have to Learn Manners? An Emotional Story

  Why Is It Always Daughters Who Have to Learn Manners?  In a small house in Chiniot, lived a brother and sister named Ali and Ayesha.  Both were equally loved by their parents. Both were excellent in their studies. But the lessons taught to them were completely different. When guests visited their home, Ayesha was always instructed, "Daughter, sit properly. Sit straight. Laugh quietly. Keep your head down." But Ali was never told anything. He could sit however he wanted, laugh loudly, and speak in a harsh voice, and no one would stop him. When Ayesha spoke a little loudly, her mother would say, "Daughter, don't do this. You have to go to another house after marriage." Tired of hearing this every single day, Ayesha finally asked a question that left everyone silent. She said, "Mother, Father, I have a question in my heart." "You always tell me to learn manners, to be patient, and to lower my gaze because I have to go to another house." "...

 7 Everyday Habits That Are Slowly Changing Our Society The world is not changing because of big speeches in big halls. It is changing because of what you and I do every single day. We often think that society changes only when governments make new laws or when technology brings a new invention. But if you look closely, real social change starts in our homes, in our streets, and in our small daily routines. A small habit, when followed by millions of people, becomes a quiet revolution that reshapes culture, community, and our future. Today, I want to share with you 7 everyday habits that are slowly but surely changing our society. You might be following most of them without even realizing their big impact. 1. We Greet Each Other Digitally Now Remember when our mothers used to send us to our neighbor's house to give them food or just to say Salam? Now, that visit has been replaced by a "Good Morning" message and a flower emoji on WhatsApp. This habit has two sides. On one ...
