You must be wondering what a weird concept I am trying to give you all today but let me tell you that this is the reality. People that act according to these signals are people that change this world not for themselves only but also for the people around them.
Let me give you a very good example of a very famous personality that acted according to these signals and he is now the Prime Minister of a country. I am talking about the great 'Imran Khan'. Imran Khan is a former Cricketer who led Pakistan to the famous 1992 cricket world cup victory. He was the captain of that team and his leadership skills played the pivotal role in Pakistan winning that World Cup. He retired from Cricket just after winning the world cup.
While he was playing Cricket, his mother was diagnosed with 'Cancer'. He took his mom to London for the treatment. Khan says that it was one of the most toughest times of his life. Seeing his mother suffer was really painful for Khan. She eventually lost her battle to Cancer. It was at this point when Khan realized that there is a signal by God in all that is happening in his life. He used to question himself, if a star like him, who has a lot of money, who was able to take his mother to some of the best hospitals in the world, suffered so much then what would an ordinary man may go through when someone is his family is a victim to this disease. It was at this point that Khan thought that he would build the biggest Cancer hospital of Pakistan that treats its patients for free.
Imran Khan called on a meeting with the top 20 doctors of Lahore. Lahore is a city of Pakistan. 19 out of the 20 doctors told Imran Khan that it was impossible to make such a hospital in the country. Only 1 doctor said that it was possible to make the hospital but it would not be possible to bear its running cost. But Khan didn't give up. He went on to pursue the target that he had set for himself. He did it because he knew that life wanted this from him and God will help him if he goes after this goal of his.
What happened afterwards was astonishing. The entire nation of Pakistan stood behind Imran and there were donation drives across the country that had never been done before on this scale. As I write this blog. Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital and Research Centre is the largest Cancer hospital in Pakistan and it is home to the largest radiation oncology centre. The hospital is name after Imran's mother "Shaukat Khanum Bibi". It treats more than 70% of its patients for free, no other Cancer hospital in the world does that. Second SKMCH opened in Peshawer, Pakistan in 2016. Third and Fourth SKMCH will be opening this year and the next year in Karachi and Quetta Respectively. Imran Khan also established a university in a rural are of Pakistan. An area where he won his first National Assembly Seat in 2002. It place is called 'Mianwali'. The university is also free for the poor students and it provides a degree of the prestigious Bradford University. Imran Khan was the Vice-Chancellor of Bradford Univesity and he used his powerful position for the betterment of his own people. Both these ventures led Khan to start his own political party in 1996. After 22 years of struggle. In July 2018, Imran Khan became the 22nd Prime Minister of Pakistan. He is now working to change his country, to uplift millions of Pakistanis living under the poverty line, His previous track record shows that his a man of his words and there is no reason why he can't change his country. His ideology is 'Naya Pakistan' which means 'New Pakistan'. He wants to change everything in his Naya Pakistan.
The Story of Imran Khan tells us that we should act according to the signals that life gives us. No matter what people tell us, we should only analyse those signals and work on them. Had Imran listened to those 19 doctors that said that it was impossible for him to make a Cancer hospital, there would never have been a great hospital like SKMCH established in the country and millions of people that are have been treated in that hospital would have gone untreated. HELP FROM GOD COMES WHEN YOU ARE LEAST EXPECTING IT.
