A famous quote by Aristotle is:

Abdul Sattar Edhi had believe that “be focused on your goal”.

Edhi sab belong to family of Edhi. In Gujrati the meaning of Edi is “LAZY” but Edhi sab proved that he was not lazy. He was that man who always ready to help the poor one’s. He was the person who never care about his life and busy in social work. He was the man who always do excellence for the people. He was the man who never say No to anyone. He was the man who was very kind and humble with people.He was the man who had a strong believe on Almighty Allah.. He was the man of Actions. Edhi sab believed that if a person is determined to do something then he can do that without the fear of anyone.

He belonged to a tribe which had great spirit of Humanitarianism. Those skills then transferred into Edhi sab. Due to this nature, he built Edhi Foundation. It is the world`s largest foundation which run many ambulances, homeless shelters, animal shelters, rehabilitation centers, orphanage homes. He really just acted upon the concept of “Khudi” which he gained by help the poor which he found in the bazaar and helped him without thinking that he was strange or not. The helping of wound person taught him the lesson of Khudi and Amal.

As in the poetry of Allama Iqbal;

He says that the life become hell or heaven by your act (Amal). If you do good act, you get reward. And if you do bad act, you get punish. Now it is your decision to select the wrong or right.

In another poetry Iqbal gives the concept of Khudi;

He says that Khudi help person to see deep inside himself and find the secret to the life. That secret will lead you to the highest peak for where you seek.

Edhi also used the concept of Khudi and self learning by giving the food among the poor people. From this he makes the world`s largest organization to help the poor or other people of Pakistan. He started his work by one old blue van and slowly slowly work for poor by believing on his abilities that one day he did big for people. So as a result he made 2000 or above vans for helping the people. He always spent simple life and wished to become rich. He always spread happiness. He become the man who absorbs all the negativity of the world and just spread positivism around. He lived for others not for himself. He believe that helping others is a way of spreading happiness.

When Amal and Khudi combines they give you fruitful juice.

2) As far as #just_start actions are concerned so i have started book reading from now. First i was just a person who have the knowledge of the course books and i don’t even know what is happening around us. Some of the peers of mine guided me to read books as it enhances the knowledge of a man. But i used to thought that they are just distracting myself from my line but now i realized that curriculum knowledge is not the only thing for a person to make him jack of all trades. As someone has rightly said,

Book reading importance

When you try to learn by yourself the first thing is that you should have to learn from books and then you should apply all of that things into your practical life. Book reading is a part of self learning that’s why i have selected this. I have also heard that “Books are your friend when you don’t have anyone”.
