Things to do in your 20s to become successful

People strive to become succeful and only the most determined ones achieve this goal. The biggest setbacks that people encounter when working towards becoming a millionare is the lack of motivation to improve and polish their skills that would help them achieve this goal.

Here are the seven skills that every person needs to work on to achieve whatever they aim to achieve in life:

1) Communication Skill

Communication is the most important factor to becoming successful. Effective communication is a must-have skill in order to set and get deals and effieciently putting accross your messages. 

2) Emotional Intelligence

There is this famous saying by Theodore Roosevelt that, "people don't care about what you know unless they know how much you care". What this means is, is that you must understand and give people what they want. You must develop emotional intelligence in order to get into the minds of people, to make them feel like you completely understand them and that they are not alone.  

3) Innovation

Succesful people are always inovative. They think of how we can improve this product. They think outside the box. They have this thing called 'depth of vision'. Where other people see problems, they see it like an oppertunity and possible solutions. 

4) Money Management

This is an important one. You wont be able to manage large amount of money if you can't manage small amounts of money. Smart and succeful people have check over their bank account balance at all times and record their expenditures and know its worth.

5) Setting Goals

Let me tell you something. Many people make this mistake. They don't set goals. They just go with the flow. You know what happens to them? Nothing. They have nothing to live for. 

Every little goal you set is a stepping stone for achieving something big because as you strive to acieve it, it makes you better. Plus it helps you in accomplishing things faster as it is always in the back of your mind.

6) Understanding the value of team work

Every successful man has a team behind him. They can't do it all alone. The faces you see on t.v, in concerts or anywhere, they have this whole team behind, operating and taking care of the work. 

Now you need to learn how to work with the team. There is this popular saying, " Teamwork makes the dream work" and its true. Start working with people, and learn to resolve the problems that occur in them. 

7) Leadership:

Every succeful person has this sort of leadership quality. Start working on it. Take charge and start taking responsibilities. People will invest in someone who can do this, so being a leader is a crucial skill in becoming successful.

I wish i was two

I've had problems keeping up with life and sometimes i wish that either there should be more hours in a day or that there should be two me's. Another me, completely identical, sharing the same thought. 

That would be so cool. I would no longer require being in need of a company of a friend when feeling lonely. He would be the best advisor, a best friend, and would always have my back. 

There are down sides to it, like i probably have to share my room, we might start fighting over something and end up hating each other, an increase of burden on my mum. You know what? Im just trying to brainstorm the negatives for having an another me. But from what i think, there are more plus sides than there are down. I would have another person to play video games with, have a discussion with, two people solve maths better than one. God! Life would get so much better. Might also fill up for me in college or we could even go together. Weird but cool. It would be like a personal assistant of some sort and would stop me from making weird decisions. Also help me in building my career, or we could even start a band. Theres just so many things, can't even imagine, but i just wish. I dont know, but i really wish. 

Ill be waiting for my twin, hoping it pops out from the sky, lands infront of me and go like, "hey, Aatif! im Aatif 2.0" and "let the game begin".

Culture, is it really important?

Culture plays an important role in a person's life. If a person forgets his culture, he'll then forget his history and where he came from. So till here, you can say that yes, culture should not be forgotten. 

Now i have done a substantial amount of research over the importance of culture. Even listened to radio shows promoting culture and telling how modernization is the reason people are forgetting their cultures. But they failed to give a reason why they are promoting culture? Why is it important to stick with your culture? The reason that they gave when the interviewer asked, why are you guys promoting culture? They said, "we are promoting culture because it is really important" and " we should never forget our culture" and also "if we forget our culture, then God knows whats gonna happen" etc. 

What am i missing here? What disaster do you speak of? 

Culture in my country is used as a way getting votes, winning elections and using the sentiments of people to create disputes, hatered and division among the people by the politicians and the ruleing class. 

I see the United States of America and what i see is they are not totally and completely indulged in there culture. They are mainly proud of calling themselves Americans. That is why in the 2008 elections, The United States saw its first black president. They chose him through merit. If they were to follow their core cultures, Barack Obama would have been stereotyped and been called a (whatever a black person was called in the 80's), and thus not win the elections. 

People of the united states are far much ahead of the world because they are focused on education and welfare of their citizens. 

While In Pakistan, what I see is that the same game is being played by the ruling elites. Provokingthe sentiments of the people and using it against themselves. Dividing each other to whose superior to whome etc.

Being too much indulged in culture comes in the way of education. Women especially in many cultures are not allowed to get higher eductation and also leads to early marriages, and these are just a few of many problems that comes with it. Then there is men being superior to women according to cultures and so that gives them an open hand of abusing women and more. 

I will conclude the topic by just saying that cultural diversity is beautiful, no doubt. Each person brings a  different flavor in a society, but do not get so much involved in it that it would be a reason of our set back. While other nations prosper, we stick with our old rules and norms that would not get us anywhere.

The best wwe game on Xbox360 and PS3 till date 2017

So i was playing wwe 2k16 but was harshly disappointed. They have completely ruined the game to be honest. The only mode you have is the Austin show case in which, yep theres only Austin. Only Austin. Other tha  that, no career mode, the graphics were terrible, monstrous amounts of glitches and to top it all off, that terrible repeated commentary that plays in a loop and does not even follow the moves i perform. The Universe mode gets boring from time to time because of the same story pattern. The whole game is a mess and now they have decided to launch WWE2k17. I didn't bother buying that because now, they have even stripped the showcase from it leaving with just single/double player mode and the wwe universe mode. 

However there is still a bright side to this. I just came across WWE 2k14 and my God, It is by far the best wrestling game i have ever played. Its made purely for the last generation consoles and starting from the gameplay to graphics. Its brilliant. 

You got thirty years of wrestlemania mode in which you play every main events from wrestlemania one to Wrestlemania 29, where John Cena took on The Rock for the WWE championship. Then you have the Undertaker's "Beat the streak" mode in which you either try to break or defend the streak. The graphics are phenomenal and the game play is way too smooth. The rosters hasn't changed much from the current. You still have Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, Gold Berg, Brock Lesnar, The Rock and the best in the world CM Punk. There are many and way too many outfits to choose from.

So having played both WWE 2k15 and WWE 2k16, i can say that the game has gone downhill after the making of WWE2k14. 

If ever you feel like buying a wrestling game. I would definitely suggest going for WWE 2k14.

Big Sean's and Eminem's "No Favor", Have a listen to this.

After all the hype, Big Sean has finally released the long awaited track, "No Favors", which, i dont know about you, but was a total let down for us. 

Off beat track once again by Eminem and same old rhyming scheme.

Big Sean was comparitively better to be honest. Eminem also seemed to take a political jab at Trump, but i doubt that's gonna save the track. No Favors. 

Improve your rhyme Slim. Its like you're not even trying anymore.No favors

Is Grand Theft Auto V worth playing?

I just recently completed grand theft auto V and I must say, it is by far the best video game that I have ever played. No matter which console or PCs you're playing it on, you must try it. It's worth your money honestly. 

The reason for me writing this review so late was because I wasn't quite sure if I want to buy it or not but after I did, I cleared away all my other games and day and night was only into gta V. 

The beautiful gameplay and scenery just gets you galvanised. It's something you have never seen before in a video game. My previous best game was Zelda, I played it on DS and that always tooled my list for the best adventure game but now that spot has been taken by GTA-V.

Now I don't wanna give out any spoilers or anything but here's a bit of information of what the game is about. The game starts of with you robbing a bank with two more people and after a crazy situation that occurs the team breaks up and afterwards reunited, well almost, and at the end prepares to rob the biggest bank of the planet and make history. 

They also ask you questions for how you want to continue the heist missions or who you want to kill (oops), and well that's how the story rolls. 

So it's all basically that and there are other fun side missions with it. I would definetely prefer this if you haven't played it yet.

how your college/uni plays an important part in devloping your personality

College and university plays an imporant and vital role in developing your personality.

Dont take it as just a source of getting a degree. Take it like a factory. You enter from the left and when you get out from the right, you come out as a well groomed person with a shaped personality.

People who miss classes either because they work and/ or  afterwarfs are too exausted to attend, they need to attened their classes. Missing out wouldnt do them any hood.
Theyll be at home, watching tv, news that keeps on repeating, a match or sleep, or could be anything, but the thing is, it wont do you any good.
If they attend atleast, they might learn a thing or two that will help them in their practical life. Even aquiring atleast 20% of knowledge would help them.
So it is recomended not to miss classes.

The teachers in college/uni are always very helpful. Theyll also sometimes go out of the box to help you. For instance, there was this one time where my classes were finished but a chapter wasnt quite complete. So the teacher said that if extra classes wouldnt be possible then i can also come to a house and teach, everyone decide a place and gather there.
So thing is, teachers also respects and honours the money you have spent in college and wouldnt just say something like, 'nahh classes are over now, come back next year'
They'll take out time from their personal life to help you.
And this happens in every college so dont be like, nah my college is small or my teachers are crappy, they arent. You can always ask them.

Now this one is my own personal thing that iv experienced, that college wouldnt work for you unless you work with it.
By that what i mean is, you need to practice whatever you have learned throughout the day and not just go home and be like, "ill remember it" because to be honest, you dont. Practicing is vital.

Street smarts is what you get by experience and it is also essential because you cannot work according to the line, you need to find a way and go out of the box sometimes, and its not bad at all. It is necessary.

I would conclude this by saying, take life as a challange. Life is never easy, some are born with a golden spoon in their mouth, but dont look at them, their life is as much fair and unfair to them as yours is, its just different thats all.
path to sucess is filled with blood and sweat and if you fall down, get up.
Theres this quote by Marthin Luthet King Jr.
"If you cant fly then run, if you cant run then walk, if you cant walk the crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward."

Learn from others aswell and dont hesitate to take risks.
