Dear Toronto Boy, Kamran & others forum members,
I received many e-mails in a single day insisting me to reverse my decision. I did not know that people love me so much. I know, we all are doing noble cause of spreading knowledge and guidance to our juniors. Kamran there was nothing in you post that resulted in my decision to quit the forum. In fact I really love you because you are one of many noble ones who are taking out sometime for the well being of our juniors. I do respect difference of opinion and I can be wrong too. I am also open to learn even from my juniors. In fact I am a student of university of life where I learn from everyone, any moment. I myself felt that my strong words are hurting feelings of some people and I donât want to pass on a message to our juniors that we are not united.
I hope that everybody will agree that our country is full of potential but it is the responsibility of our institutions to polish and equip them with the modern study methods, technological advancements, professional trends, psychometric examinations, narrative financial reporting, transferable skills required by the industry, etc. We should focus on, how we can make the difference instead of defending someone else misdeed. I said earlier that there are so many things that I canât share on public forums. Canât we think beyond the limits of linguistic and ethnic groupings? Canât we determine why new students are joining foreign institutes instead of ICAP/ICAMP? How many scholarships are being awarded to deserving students?
I think Toronto-Boy will agree that we, here in Canada, have to compete with professionals around the globe. No doubt that a large number of our professional accountants are doing fabulous jobs overseas and in Pakistan as well but it is also a fact that a very large number of our professional have stuck up in doing odd jobs just because they were not properly trained in certain disciplines which are required by the businesses and industries. This really burns my heart. You can see dozens of European countries which are smaller than Karachi in geography and population but still they are far advanced in education and economy than Pakistan. So why canât we be amongst them.
Honestly, I believe that knowledge is not property of any nation. So there is no harm if we take advantage of experiences of the Western countries. I know that everyone is aware of the fact that despite Islam being a complete religion, our ancestors acquired knowledge by translating Greek books into Arabic and then they developed them which laid the foundation of modern knowledge.
The definition of criticism is âto see the things as they are in the light of wit and intelligenceâ. When I criticize an institute it does not mean that I am undermining its importance. But I expect it to utilize its full potential.
Wish everyone all the best,
Regards,
