Marketing HUMANITY
Dear All,
This forum is basically to increase traffic on "You Are The Best" Forum made by MagicDragon.
http://www.qatarliving.com/node/478730#comment-881646
Please go through the forum if you have not and see how a kind heart of one man, changed the way hundreds of people think and act in Qatar.
I shall not repeat what is mentioned in that forum... I shall try to verbalize what all came into my mind after seeing the whole episode, same must have happened with you as well.
This is to share with you how One Man, Mr. SPEED, changes thoughts n emotions into actions.
I write this forum to promote traffic on "You Are The Best" bcoz I am not happy with fact that a community of 43000 registered members and only 53 posts on it, till this very moment.
This act deserves more Kudos than it is getting right now.
Not that Mr. Speed and many others are dependent on appreciation to motivate them to take such efforts... they are motivated enough from within themsleves, but this shall give little boost to there efforts and expecting many more helping hands for such noble cause...
1 and 1 make 11 when you work for Humanity, in science it may be 2.
To be Humble and Helping the needy is not something which he (Mr. Speed) has taught us, it was always there, but he helped us take it out and put it in action.
Many of us knew it, but did nothing more than sympathizing for them for few minutes. Few must have prayed for them, rather many must have prayed, as I can see the cumulative effect of all the prayers been answered and put into some useful work through Mr. Speed.
Just One man .. One man not only felt sympathetic but was determined to help the needful.... has made so many of us around him feel to do the same in our limited scope of possibility. Helped us realize we can think and act beyond the mental boundaries we have drawn of Race, Nationality, religion in us. Of course they are needed for a smooth functioning of civilized world.. but he reminded us, there are times when we have to think beyond the boundaries we have accepted and made.
I don't know if it is acceptable in other religions - personifying GOD.. But in Hinduism, yes it is.
Mr. Speed is god shall be too difficult for most of us to accept here, but through him GOD was helping the needly (very few shall deny that) and hence I see GOD through(in) him.
If you Don't believe in God,then - there is something different in Mr. Speed that is or was, dormant in all of us and also very small in magnitude when compared to that present in him... I salute that X-Factor. Hope this X-factor increases in Magnitude and intensity in all of us.
Hmm..
Is that overwhelming more than 80%???????
Ohk even if its 95%........ ( Advertisers shall withdraw if they see this :) )
its 2150 active members........ n m not getting into percentage again.... no use...
"Be the change you want to see in the world...." lets see..... testing this phrase practically now.... Does world become a better place if I alone Do....
Hard Work Doesn't Kill Anyone... But Why take Chances.
ashwin - the overwhelming majority of those 43,000 registered members will have registered only to use the classifieds. And as pointed out, another large proportion will be dormant or reincarnations.
And pls man.. Don start again.. I m mean but not enough to accept tht crap....
ANYWAYS...... if you run at tht Speed... Its difficult...
Hard Work Doesn't Kill Anyone... But Why take Chances.
And seriously It wasn't to only praise Speed here.... but to evoke a speed in everyone of us.... that was the intention...
If you say 350 is a good number....
350/43,000 registered members....
= 0.00813953 = > 0.813953% of members
If you say around 80% of the members are either dormant or not residing in Qatar or are re-incarnations (thx to Alexa and Shreeya tht word is added to my vocab) ( This is an over exaggerated percentage)
Still it is 350/8600 = 0.040697 And its 342 to be more precise (as of now.. this very moment)
Now you see wht I was talking about....
My target Audience is remaining 95.93023 % of people...
in QLVG in near future. We need active people like you :-)
Please request MOD to delete at least last 3 paras from your above thread. Thanks
These 95.93023 are here for whtevr reasons they are for.. but can do little to make our own small world a better place to leave....
Taking it a step closer to "UTOPIA" A Ideal civilization Plato talks about in his "THE REPUBLIC".
I am a professionally marketing fellow... I play with such percentages all day...
You guyz already know about all this .. then this is not for you.. honestly... this is for the ignorants,,,,,
Of course you ll find me a Emotional fool ( I loved it though).. if you think - I talk about "importance of Education" in front of "Masters in Literature"..... this was for the people who don know how good n important it is...
Damn I would have written books if I give all my posts for publications.....
You make me type so much.... Fingers burning...
Hard Work Doesn't Kill Anyone... But Why take Chances.
See I ll tell you wht when I used to follow tht "You are the Best" Forum I ll tell wht used to happen -
I used to check my resent posts and see "Ohk... 2 updates on you are the best".."Don bother to open it.. mus be same old stuff.. you know.. you are good n this n tht...
then when the new posts become a significant number say 8 and above.. ohk lets go through all of them.. and thts it.. you know.. nothing more than tht.... same must be true for others... I used to say this guyz doin some good stuff.. n thts it.. end of the story...
I wanted and I still do... (to hell with wht you ll think :) ) Tht more and more people read about it...
I could have written the same as a post in the forum "You are the Best" but then lesser number of people might have read it...
Hard Work Doesn't Kill Anyone... But Why take Chances.
:) ha ha ha ha...

I ll take it as a compliment.....
And Speed.. Good boy ??????? Na,,, Pls don spoil my hard earned image since childhood....
A Brat is much better.... My comfort Zone.... :)
Hard Work Doesn't Kill Anyone... But Why take Chances.
Well, guess my reply to MD was a bit late.
You have cleared the skies already. Thank you Speed!!!!
But Ashwin deserves some good kicks....emotional fool...lol
Everything's gonna be alright!!!
If I am not wrong...Ashwin is not ctiticizing Speed or any other QLVG member.
Speed is always first who comes forward in such cases. He is the motivation behind all of us. And hence his name always comes on top.
Secondly Ashwin is a new member, may not be knowing about many past charity events. Some names are even new to me.
IMHO it really doesn't matter who is serving for QLVG, whether westerners, eastrners, southerns or northerners. They all are really 'human' is the most important thing to me.
Everything's gonna be alright!!!
when I met him personally that time I was not aware of this thread ;-) otherwise I would have kicked his A** :-) (just joking)
From my 1st meeting with him I can tell you that Ashwin is a good guy and I am really happy to meet him.
At QL we should be a little bit proud for having such members as Speed and the un-named others. If someone wants to criticize then why not the Qatari Government which allows all these bad things to happen!!
and I fully understand your feelings specially when these types of gesture comes from our neighboring countries...
When we are in our Countries we live in a dark (due to the environment created by so called 'Politicians' and 'Meida'). They wanted to control our minds by creating violance abd thru violance they create hate between different sects of people specailly between Hindus, Mulsims and Christains. This is what is happening back home.
Now coming to your point. Yes I feel very embarrased because you have gone too far by linking me to God (God forbid).
We all trust in God, but we cannot compare God with any living being. We all are His servant and in the Eye of God we all are Equal. Yes on the day of Judgement God will punish or reward us on the basis of our deeds but not on the basis of our race or color.
About me: I am very simple person and respect all human kind, I am God fearing and I know this world is temporary and I dam give any importance to the luxury of this world. Trust me if you live a simple life you will live long happy and healthy life.
I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't go to clubs/bars or waste my money on unnecessariy luxury life. I prefer to spend in the name of God by helping His people who are in need of our help.
Trust me I don't want any publicity or appericiations nor I care. Because I am not doing for anyone except God.
Sometime when media approach me for any of our Volunteer activities I always request them not to use my real name but we use media to spread a word for others to come forward and help the people in need.
If any of my word has offened you or anyone else on QL. Please accept my appology. I never mean to hurt anyone's feeling but to clear my position.
By the way, popcorngirl and scarlett are correct, and same thing I always repeat that 'It's not me alone, behind me is a force of more than 350 active volunteers' They come from different parts of the world and different believes, but when it comes to HUMANITY we all are ONE and They are the real people helping needy ones.
May God bless you all.
I can understand your intentions behind the writeup. I think it is the GOD thing which is undigestable for many of them.
But Scarlette...you too?
I think Ashwin is just making an emotional apeal to all QLers to come forward for the less fortunates more oftnely.
Speed won't mind it either, I guess. We believe that when we serve other people we are serving GOD.
Everything's gonna be alright!!!
Sounds like an over do ball jacking. Not too sure of the myths surrounding it but boy..it's a good thesis.
Hmm... May be...
Actually Have joined tht Jus now.... couple of minutes back.... Some one said to do so.....
Really liked tht "all tht goes with it" thing...
See you soon .... in person
Hard Work Doesn't Kill Anyone... But Why take Chances.
you were just being passionate about what you thought and tried to help a good cause.
Welcome to QL and all that goes with it!!! I am hoping you are a member of the Volunteer group because they are good will in action. So far I've only been able to attend one of their helping activities but plan to do much more. perhaps we will all meet at one of them.

Scarlett... As I told you this was instinctive... I wrote whtever came to my mind... w/o altering a single thought...
It might have been more correct to not take his name and jus talk about the cause, but 1. it was instinctive and 2. It would have had not been tht appealing... Bcoz now days seeing is believing..... We can see it front of our us... I shared what I experienced....
Ya.. As you said.. besides taking his name.. wish "QL Volunteers" had come out of my fingers..... It would have had had same impact without the side-effects which you guyz talking about... Damn!!!
Wish I had sent a PM of this to you for review first... :)
There is always a next time..... :)
Lot many goof ups are yet to come....... I have recently joined :)
Hard Work Doesn't Kill Anyone... But Why take Chances.
I know him fairly well which is why I said what I did.
ashwindoke...I know you meant well...but sometimes the best laid plans go awry...I know you weren't trying to boost his ego..his doesn't need boosting as he's quite assured in himself without being arrogant. Perhaps if you ask people to just look within themselves and do what is right, they will.
Speed has the God given ability to gather people together for good causes. In the end...his good works will be rewarded.

Hmm...
Thats some serious problem.....
I followed my instinct though......
If he really doesn like this.... hope he gets this deleted by Mods... (Speed really, if it is the way these guyz are saying)...
And the intention here was not to boost his ego ( does it sound like tht by any chance??? )....
But to urge others to be like him .... Hope tht happens ....
If not .... better this is deleted ......
I did what I thought is correct.... what I felt like...
As I said .......Instinct....
Results... beyond my scope of typing... so not very much worried about that....
Hard Work Doesn't Kill Anyone... But Why take Chances.
As I have chatted with Speed in PM, he would hate this.
I would be willing to bet that Speed will be very embarrassed by this thread, your comments and its content. He is a most humble man and doesn't seek fame for his deeds.

and say this post is a load of shit.
Speed has had loads of people from here helping. Me for example. I would bet 500 QR that most are Westerners.
