2. • “There is an abundance of talent in the Pakistani youth; they just don’t
have the opportunities to fully utilize their potential”.
• How many times have you heard this quote? And to be honest, I’m really
tired of hearing it all the time.
• First of all, identifying the problem and then just leaving it there isn’t
really going to help anyone.
• Indeed we do have a lot of potential in our youth, and better
opportunities would definitely help make productive use of their
abilities.
• But if you are truly passionate for this cause, then do something about
it!

famous dreamers or all time.

helicopters, mechanical
devices and many other
hundreds of years before
they were actually built. He
invented few of them.

practice.

something. You think of a
new design and create it or
you build a prototype. Unlike
innovations, though,
inventions may or may not
have value.

discoveries and creating user defined value
by doing something new or doing something
old in a new way .
