Encouraging entrepreneurs

Human beings are catalysts that can turn a handful of sand into a handful of pearls

SUKKUR: Entrepreneurial ability is of notable worth where there are opportunities and substantial catalysts available to translate dreams and visions into reality. Pakistan is a country which is full of unutilised and underutilised resources, which are waiting to be tapped in an ever-beneficial way that profits both society and the entrepreneur himself.

If we consider the energy sector, right from the Thar coal to the scorching heat of the sun, we have resources that can wipe out the energy shortage in our country; the primary requirement is a bunch of dedicated entrepreneurs who devote their infinite capabilities in translating these raw resources into usable energy. Human beings are catalysts that can turn a handful of sand into a handful of pearls, but converting the sand into pearls requires focused attention and a motivation to do so.
