“If you want t o change your fate you have to change your
thinking” a familiar saying.
We Pakistani’s are one of the intelligent nations. Our youth
has proven the most intelligent and hardworking. We have the capacity to stand
with a raised head in the nations of the world. The only drawback of this
nation is lack of resources, said a senior .No , the main drawback is the lack
of the thinking to use and utilize the resources and the will to do something
.If one says provide the resources it is true then why not create resources.
Government cannot provide employment (resources) to everyone; she can create
only limited employment opportunities so why not they prove their capabilities
by themselves.
Allah has blessed Pakistan with a perfect geographic
location. This country can act as a hub for trade, we can trade rut to the land
lock countries of the Middle East. Our ports if well developed can serve the
best ports of the world. Presently Pakistan is using two of her ports “Port
Qasim” and “Karachi port” and third port “Gawadar” is the most important port
for the economy of the country which has not been operative yet.
Gwadar
“Gawadar Port” is a warm-water, deep-sea port situated on the
Arabian Sea at Gwadar in Balochistan province of Pakistan , it’s a newly
established, handed over to China for development.

Importance
of Gawadar
This port is the only port of the region which exists in
warm waters if operative can reduces the distance of the trade routes and alone
it can provide a good increase in GDP of the country. It can also be served as
a good port much better than the “Tehran Port”. When this port will be operated
most of the trade will be transferred from Tehran Port to this one. Naturally
it is a very good harbor for the larger ships. It is much more feasible for the
large ships carry tons and tons of the weight can be ported here. So it is
preferable port for trade .
India , and other international powers don’t want any
of Pakistan’s industry to flourish,
that’s why they always create hindrances in the way of it. India has propagandized this
project negatively among the nations of the world. She has shown his concerns
regarding this. Even the engineers were kidnapped and even murdered to create a
negative impact to the world showing that this land is not worth investing, and
also it has been projected that the security of this country is not trustable.
These acts were done just to stop the project from being operative. And also it
was tried to create a bad image so that if the operations start then also it
would remain ineffective in attracting foreign direct investment.
If the investors
inside the country invest in this type of projects they can create a lot of
employment opportunities. A bold step of the internal investors can be a good
deal. And if internal investor starts investing it will attract foreign
investment as well. More and more industries can help in reduction of
unemployment level. The money they have if invested for the country, their
country fellows get employment. Every new investment creates new opportunities to
the unemployed.
Why we are waiting for a miracle to happen? Why we are
waiting for someone to come and change the fate of our nation? Why not we
depend on our own to make miracles happen? The only thing is a will and courage
to change the fate. And the key to this lock is our own hard work , self
dependency and courage to do.
