How To Study For Math Exam :

Have all memorizing done a couple of days before exam.

Inspiring Story Of Mustafa Ahmedzai :

• With food, clothing and housing, education has become the fourth basic necessity. Hence, it is important that all students make use of all the available forms of education systems. Procurement of education in the right way at the right time is what's important.

• Education holds prime importance for every country. Educated young guns are the future of the country. More educated the youth, more powerful the country.As a good luck Pakistan has strongest youth approximately more than 60% in Pakistan are youth.

• But unluckily the literacy rates in Pakistan education is very low due to the shortage of public educational institutes. We have only 73 public universities and most of the population study in these universities. Similarly, there is short number of public colleges where students can get free education. Our most of the students belong to the middle class and they have very limited resources. Parents can't afford easily the expenses of studying their children. Lots of students have to work part time to sponsor their studies themselves. In students life nearly every student usually face financial crisis. 

• Many students are fascinated with the idea of studying abroad for the different education and universities options that are offered to them, out there. But they have stronger reasons for pursuing their study in Pakistan, which holds them back here. One of the main reason is again the financial barriers.

• Similarly Muhammad Mustafa Ahmedzai who belonged to a middle class family and started working for Rs.500 per month at a flower shop after school at the age of just 8 years. In 2000 his family moved to Karachi in search of good future. 

• After Completed his high school in 2006 he started applying abroad for higher studies in 2007. Half of its classmates received scholarships in MIT, Harvard, YALE and Standford but despite being brilliant in studies he didn’t receive any scholarship.His parents were weak financially but to live up his higher studies dream, he applied to a community college in New York. Things were going great but due to poor economic conditions he didn’t qualified for an US VISA.

• He was very dissappointed.He lost hope in life.He was in depression for about a year but this one year of at home introduced him to blogspot.He setup his  first blogspot blog for his school mates.In 2008 he got admission in NED University and also started blogging. In the beginning he had only few daily visitors and earning was only $1 per month with Google AdSense. And now he is living a lavish life due to his online business.

• He is a successful blogger, an SEO expert and a skilled web developer. He started his blogging career in 2008 and now running many websites under "MyBloggerTricks.com" "STCNetwork.org" "UCut.It" etc. He is also providing his web services to customers around the world.His STC Network is Pakistan's first registered blogging company which pays regular income tax to the government. He has established an office in Karachi for his online business.

• I know whenever you search for anything like bloggers problem i ll guarantee that you visit his blog and your problem solved very Easily.

• Finally he is inspiring for me and a sign of hope for me and many young Pakistanis. He has conducted many seminars in various universities and colleges to motivate students to work online. Many have learned earning online through his blogs.

• I also want to get success not same as like him because I am not eligible but want to do something in my life like him. May god bless him and give more & more success in his life. (Ameen)
