Listening to this podcast reminds me of the importance of having wealth and privilege, His parents had provided him access to technology and the internet in the 90s while a middle-class child like myself did not have access to the internet till 2013.

Its never too late to learn anything, but complainers are the main idiots of society right ?

[@double_aa]

@@AkshafLohani no the people complain about other people and who think they are not idiots themselves.

You must be 15 years old pal.

[@asadali-ze9jy]

Agreed ... Wealth does have and always will have advantage

Muzammil should do a podcast about himself. He rarely talk about his story.

the first episode of this podcast series was actually his story.

Dear Muzamil, kindly invite a researcher having publication in ISI index and IEEE International Conferences. I think it is good to aware youth about research and opportunities. Research area such as Big data, AI, IOT, or Blockchain (Bitcoin) will be highly appreciated. I am PhD Candidate at Nanjing University. Our School invited Nobel Prize Winner, experts from Standford University, MIT, Oxford etc. Good luck

[@DrHabibKhan]

Having publications, and zero field work/real life product is absurd!!!

AYE - two wonderful personalities in a single video 😍

[@fatimatariq_csp]

01:20 I was born in 1998 Lol... :) I am 22 now. 57:00 Aye ... :) ---This is one of the best videos on your channel. Sir Hisham Sarwar is a very humble person... :) ---Sir Muzamil! I watch your every video on this channel. I also watch videos on Miss Humna's channel and the videos on your channel "Already Grown Up". But the videos on this channel are the best... I have subscribed to your channel from my 3 different accounts. Lol. :) It is because of the quality content of your videos... ---When you talked about that men should empower their women to start working online from home and should not get jealous of them, that was a very good point.… and thank you for that. :) --- From now onwards, I will comment on your every video to motivate and appreciate you that your videos are equally important and helpful for girls… ---I believe that “THIS IS OUR PAKISTAN AND BEING THE YOUTH OF PAKISTAN, NOW, THIS IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PLAY OUR POSITIVE ROLE FOR THE BETTERMENT AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR COUNTRY.” And you are doing a great job by spreading rational thinking and awareness among the masses. :) (Bio: I am a graduate of Botany from the University of Punjab and I am from Lahore. I have worked as a Data Analyst in a UK-based company, Nowasys after self-learning some online software skills and tools e.g Tableau, Power BI. I am a certified Microsoft and Google Specialist. Also, I am a CSS 2020 and PMS 2020 Written Qualifier and I am aspiring to become the youngest “female” CSS Officer of Pakistan. In sha ALLAH…)

[@fasihaimran8545]

I recently enrolled in a paid online blogging course. People have experience in their field but they don't know how to teach effectively. So, I found the KZbin videos of Sir Hisham and Khalilullah khan much better to understand the basics of blogging than that paid course. AYE

One good client can get you anywhere between 300-1000$ a month. Depending on multiple factors. Freelancing has massive potential.

[@aimena4010]

aye!

[@arsal.a]

Freelancing and remote jobs are the future. Alhamdulillah before graduating, I earned my first 1000$ in a month during vacations, and as a result of it, when I went to my first job as an Electrical Engineer for 25K PKR a month, it did not make sense to me (lucky that it didn't) and I didn't go back on the second day. This should be the story of every exploited employee in the Pakistani workforce

13.00 kya bat he muzzamil bhai . ghusa hi kar gay . hahhah love it

[@tauqeerhassan8091]

TBH, I've been following Hisham for quite so long on Facebook. I appreciate his work for a certain type of audience. But I've never seen a more self-obsessed and self-centered person like him if i weigh him with others like him.

Legend is here

[@imranmajeed4802]

9-1-2022. 10 years

[@DesignbyBK]

One should do a full-time job for 5 to 7 years and try to gain experience and be in top 10 in your city. If you full-fill this criteria, then come in full-time freelancing. Freelancing is not a job, so you have to be skilled fully equipped, self driven, and self motivated. I’ve seen people quitting freelancing after failing to make a good living out of it just because they wanted stability and considered freelancing as a job. It’s not a job, its a business. There will be ups and downs, there will be months you’d make top dollars 💵 but sometime you won’t have work. So be on top of your game, you need to focus on delivering quality otherwise you’re worth it.
