  • I do not know why we make a news of other people failure. Trying would eventually lead to success. This is called the knowledge path. Wisdom does not arrive at birth. Its a constant update of failures leading to success. What Pakistan needs is to counter every aspect of its national security in the best possible way by anticipating the enemy moves and building its own technology to counter every possible threat.

    • Cause its there job?
      and of course trying will lead to success but that’s not the point of this article,
