Negative Energy Vs Success

                                      Use Negative Energy for Your Success

By Masooma Amjad Khokhar

We all feel negative energy, criticism, stress, rejection, and loneliness. It comes from workplaces, relationships, society, and even from ourselves. Very few escape it, and research shows this kind of negative experience is far more common than most people realize. But if you learn to use it, it can become fuel for growth, strength, and real success. More than one in five workers around the world, about 23 % have experienced at least one form of violence or harassment at work, whether psychological (insults, threats, bullying), physical, or sexual. Psychological violence and harassment specifically affect nearly 18 % of employed people globally. These are not isolated: many endure them repeatedly over time.


Workers’ negative emotions have big economic consequences. A Gallup global poll found that low employee engagement (which is related to negative energy) costs the global economy about US$8.9 trillion, roughly 9% of world GDP. About 41 % of employees worldwide say they feel stressed “a lot of the day.” Many report feeling worry, sadness, anger emotions that are negative but common. In a survey across 31 countries (Ipsos), on average 62 % of people said they have felt stressed to the point that it affected their daily life at least once. In some countries the proportion was much higher. Women generally report more such stress than men. Gen Z women are particularly likely to experience depressive or hopeless feelings almost daily, several times.


Globally, more than 1 billion people are living with mental health disorders like depression and anxiety. These conditions are among the leading causes of disability, and they carry both human and economic costs. In workplaces, many people hide their mental health struggles. In one global mental health workplace study, 82 % of employees who had a diagnosed mental health issue said they had kept it hidden from management, often because of fear of stigma, being judged, or other negative consequences. These numbers show that negative energy stress, negativity, rejection, fear is almost universal. However, it does not have to destroy you. If you realize you are not alone in this, you can use that shared struggle to build something strong: motivation, focus, creativity. For example, when criticism hits, you can decide to improve rather than shrink. When rejection comes, you can use it to redirect toward something better. When stress weighs you down, you can train your mind to persist. When you embrace negative energy rather than avoid it, it can sharpen your goals. It can teach resilience, kindness (to yourself and to others), clarity about what matters. Many success stories are born not from sunny, comfortable days, but from nights of doubt, failure, and burnout when someone chose to turn pain into purpose.

You’re probably going to face negative energy many times. What will make the difference is what you do with it. Use it, don’t let it use you.

Until our paths cross again in the next blog, wishing you all the very best!

CLIMATE CHANGE   by Masooma Khokhar The empty promises are the same and the inaction is the same. So what exactly are we doing wrong and how do we fix it? We’re going to kick this off with some basic science. So bear with me, because this is important. These are the levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere over hundreds of thousands of years. But this spike in carbon dioxide at the very end that took off during the industrial revolution. We started breaking CO2 records in 1950, and we haven’t stopped till date do you know why? Well, scientists say there’s a 95% chance that human activity is the cause. We’ve been burning more and more fossil fuels like oil and coal, which release CO2, to power our homes, factories, airplanes and cars. There’s also a lot more of us. The global population has tripled in the past 70 years. And we’re consuming more products from animals that release another pollutant called Methane....

  MASSIVE HIKE IN PRICES OF AUTOMOBILES By Masooma Amjad Khokhar   Although the government has chosen to perform a forensic audit of the country's historic increase in car prices, industry sources assert that prices have increased by almost 50% as a result of the rise in input costs over the past two years. After a 200 percent increase in advance tax in the budget for 2022–2023, some new car prices. For non-filers, the federal government has levied a 200 percent advance tax on the acquisition of vehicles with engines larger than 1600cc. An official from the auto sector ascribed the historically high price increase to rising input costs brought on by an exponential spike in freight expenses, the devaluation of the rupee, and increases in the price of steel and fuel.
