اپ کے اس پروگرام میں کسی بھی پڑھے لکھے انسان کے لئے زندگی کی اخری سانس تک سیکھنے کے لئے بہت کچھ ہے میری عمر 56 سال ہے لیکن پھر بھی میں نے اپ کا یہ پروگرام سیو کر لیا ہے تاکہ میری ائندہ زندگی میں بھی کام ا سکے کیونکہ پاکستان میں ایسے موضوعات پر کوئی بھی بندہ بات ہی نہیں کرتا اللہ رب العزت اپ کو جزائے خیر عطا فرمائے امین ثم امین 😍

After spending nearly 14 years in one company, I witnessed firsthand how quickly things can change with a generational shift in leadership. As employees, we often dedicate our time, health, and even family life for the sake of the organization—only to realize that those sacrifices are rarely remembered in the long run.<br><br>I had the privilege of working closely with my 76-year-old CEO, who was not only my mentor but also someone who taught me how to handle pressure and navigate difficult situations in life. His guidance shaped much of who I am professionally. Unfortunately, when he passed away last year, the values and culture he had built seemed to fade, and the environment changed completely.<br><br>This experience taught me a hard but important lesson: if you start seeing clear signs from your organization that your values no longer align or your contributions are no longer appreciated, it’s best to prepare and move on quickly to a better opportunity.<br><br>Farhan Sb, you’re doing a great job with this podcast—your discussion truly reflects the voice of many people who have lived through similar workplace challenges.

یہ بہت اچھا پوڈکاسٹ تھا، اللہ تعالیٰ آپ لوگوں کی قربانیوں کو قبولیت سے نوازے، اس طرح اور بھی پوڈکاسٹ بنائیں، بہت پسند آیا، کئی الجھنوں سے نجات مل گئی، اللہ تعالیٰ آپ لوگوں کی اس قربانی کو آپ لوگوں کی مغفرت کا ذریعہ بنائے

Nothing can be achieved if you live in the comfert zone - best msg you delivered. <br>عرفان صاحب آپ کی کامیابی کی ایک وجہ یہ بھی ہے کے آپ نے صرف کام پہ پہ فوکس نہی کیا بلکہ اپنے کام میں انسانی نفسیات اور اخلاقیات کا بھی بھی استعمال کیا۔

Irfan sir is a man of integrity and courage. He’s a great mentor and has never backed down from speaking the truth, I’m glad he’s willing to shed on a topic most shy away from

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuwTerllBNM&t=661">11:01</a> stress is not only the burden of unmade decisions but also the unmet expectations as well.
