“Its too late in the night and Kids are still
awake. I’ve received complaints from their
instructors that they are not performing
well due to lack of sleep. They are now in
adolescence and it’s the time they learnt

need to sort it in a good manner. I have
an idea.

Executive Director, Stanford

us to figure out this issue.”

problem to me that many
other people are
complaining about too.
I plan to launch a course
and I’ll sort out the
solutions through it”

complaints about teams not responding and people in various groups not showing

“Don’t worry, the most creative
ones will handle it.”

learning came to know about the course in an
under-developed country, Pakistan. The
curiosity of knowledge made him register on
Tina’s course. But there are challenges ahead.
His teammates were not responding and he
could see all the shouts about the problem
Tina’s assistant had told. He came up with the
idea and launched a forum, wikis to connect
those who are really passionate.

want an entertaining dream
you need to be around at a

observed that our kids are awake
playing computer games, chatting,
using FB, and watching movies.
Now they can do all this in their
dream and take a healthy sleep.
