A LOVING BROTHER ... A SINCERE FRIEND !

Dheron Duaien for the ONE I AM WRITING ABOUT and all friends !

Life is an unrelenting journey; it is continual, discreet and capricious. Every one has to undertake this voyage as there are no choices here; the destinations however are exclusive and preordained for life itself and happenings therein.

We the MEN from 55th PMA Long Course started the cruise of our lives  individually but embarked upon 'THE TRAVEL OF OUR LIVES' collectively on that unforgettable Day, May 12, 1975. The fraternity thus evolved through the bondage of comradeship, sincerity, affection and SENSE OF BELONGING has solidified with every passing day. As they say "WE CAN GROW SEPARATELY WITHOUT GROWING APART" we too started together but one by one reached our destiny; few left before the advent of 21st Century, few in the first decade of new Millennium and today November 7, 2014 marks the successful completion of 'THE TOUR' on the  efficacious  'RETURN TO HOME' by  Lieutenant General Muhammad Zahir-Ul-Islam, Hilal-e-Imtiaz (Military). {He holds the honour of lasting the longest}

Zahir scaled the lofty heights of professional glory through sheer industry, sincerity of  purpose, unflinching faith in the cause and NEVER SAY DIE APPROACH. It is said that  "Being male is a matter of birth, being a man is a matter of age, but being a gentleman is a matter of choice." A thorough gentleman who made the choice very early on in his life or may be it is in the genes; Humility is his virtue, adherence to Values is his forte, Honour and Dignity are his profile.

He always liked to be in the backed ground, self projection is not in his manuals. He has never been a Media savvy person and that probably is the reason THAT FEW STRAY AND FRUSTRATED PRINT AND BROADCAST JOURNALIST tried to run him down. Salute to the Nation Pakistan and the patriotic Media who stood rock solid in the face of the malicious onslaught and those conspiring GOT THE EGG ON THEIR FACES. They and their supporters may still be sharpening the teeth to dig in again but they could not cause any harm then and Allah Willing would not be able to do now; because Allah Karim Says in Quran :

Look after your own souls, he who goes astray cannot harm you if you are guided. You shall all return to Allah, and He will inform you of what you have done.Al-Maida (5) : 105.

On behalf of everyone of 55th I tell you mate YOU ARE A RARE BREED, ONE OF A KIND, EACH ONE OF US IS PROUD OF YOU ....... AND WISH YOU AND FAMILY ALL THE BEST THERE IS, IN THE LIFE OUTTA UNIFORM.

I WOULD NOT SAY ANY THING ABOUT 'YOU & ME' .... FOR SUFFICE IT TO SAY "YOU ARE A LOVING BROTHER AND A SINCERITY PERSONIFIED FRIEND ... WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF ME AND DID FOR ME; I CAN NEVER RECIPROCATE AND NO AMOUNT OF GRATITUDE WOULD BE ENOUGH ..... MAY ALLAH KARIM REWARD YOU".

Following derivation is for you Brother ... !

Success does not come from having one’s work recognised by others. It is the fruit of the seed that you lovingly planted.

Without a second thought, you can say to yourself: ‘I succeeded.’

You succeeded in gaining respect for your work because you did not work only to survive, but to demonstrate your love for others.

You managed to finish what you began, even though you did not foresee all the traps along the way. 

And when your enthusiasm waned because of the difficulties you encountered, you reached for discipline.

And when discipline seemed about to disappear because you were tired, you used your moments of repose to think about what steps you needed to take in the future.

You were not paralysed by the obstacles that are inevitable in the lives of those who take risks. 

You didn’t sit agonising over what you lost when you had an idea that didn’t work. 

You didn’t stop when you experienced moments of glory, because you had not yet reached your goal.

And when you realized that you would have to ask for help, you did not feel humiliated. And when you learned that someone needed help, you showed them all that you had learned, without fearing that you might be revealing secrets or being used by others.

DUAIEN ONCE AGAIN
