Smart Workers

I would like to draw attention towards the fact that we are probably amongst the least productive nations of the world. Not only is our GDP per capita amongst the lowest in the world our working hours per year are also amongst the highest in the world.

Just think about it if we divide Pakistan's GDP per capita which is approximately $1000 by actual hours worked approx 8hrs per day & 2304 hr per year, you'd probably find that Pakistani’s are amongst the lowest returns on work-hours invested. Our GDP per capita per hour stands at $ 0.43 per hour. This approximately amounts to only 36 rupees per hour & 4608 rupees per month. If we compare this GDP per capita per hour with other developing nations we are no way near them.

You go to any government or even a private office in Pakistan just spend a day over there you will come to know how productive this nation is. Our government & private offices start at 8:00AM but actual work starts not before we have tea at 9:00 o’clock. We spend time in office sipping coffee & tea. Whatever time we are left with we spend it chatting with our colleagues using facebook & youtube. We sit all day in office acting as if we are working ‘Jali Masroofiat’. From top to bottom we all possess excellent acting skills. We are smart but in a negative way.

In order to make this nation progressive we all have to increase our productivity, leave the habit of laziness. Winning is not about working hard it’s about working smart.
