Be Transparent To Be Trusted

I learned honesty from my father. My father raised me like a warrior - strong and honest. 

He taught me integrity. He said that what we have earned through lawful means, through our rightful share, is ours. Do not covet the possessions of others. And if someone has trusted you with something, consider it an amanat (trust) and account for every penny with full transparency. This reflects your strong character. This builds trust. And this is what earns you respect in this world and the Hereafter. This is what my father practiced his entire life.

Fortunately, I have moved to the USA, raising my kids here, where the majority of people live honest lives. They are taught to be independent from a very young age and become self-made. Parents here do not tell their children that they will take care of their needs forever. Instead, they try to teach their kids the hard realities of life from a young age, to make them strong. My father's teachings and this environment have helped me become the person I am today.

Seeing people in Pakistan, using others, waiting for free money from everywhere, trapping others for their own advantage, especially those living abroad - there is no transparency. In financial dealings, if someone is not an open book or transparent, believe me, they are untrustworthy and dishonest. No matter what excuses they give you, remember that they are the most unreliable and harmful people.

Recently, I led a project in Pakistan with the help of my whole family. I received donations ranging from Rs. 15 to Rs. 2 lakhs. I made sure to keep every person in the loop - donors and non-donors alike - on how their money was spent on the project. After the project, people told me how impressed they were with the way I led it, and that they would only donate to me for the next phase, as they could not trust anyone else. This is how everyone should be. If the money is not earned through your own hard work, you are accountable to everyone, for it is not yours.

So, to the person who recently said to me with profound arrogance that he is not responsible to answer anyone -

 YES dude, you are responsible to be transparent to each and every one (to whom the money belongs) because you are only the caretaker, not the owner. If you want our trust, you have to earn it. You cannot lead something by being a gangster. And trust me, no one would have questioned you if it was your own money. The problem is, it's ours, and we don't trust you. If you want to take someone's place, EARN it, don't FORCE it. And it's my promise my darling, the names you have given me will teach you that my target is you now and I will make sure to haunt you day and night as a strong warrior not like the cowards and hypocrites around you with double face. You can scare women around you with your screaming voice and arrogance but for me you are a challenge.  

Congratulations that finally you have gained 5 minutes of my life.
