Only few countries on earth are lucky enough to have that much natural resources. Then why are we at this stage ?

What differentiates us from others? It’s all about ‘MINDSET’. Nothing will change as long as the ‘MINDSET’ of the leaders and the people.

We're shameless now. We can't blame our leadership for everything. When we can force government to restore the CJ, who is of no use. Then why can't we force the government to use the resources at their Best to make Pakistan the Next Super Power??? or at least real Asian Tiger???
