Fate and luck plays an important role in a leader’s life. People bring their fate with them. But there are people who are very few who write their own destiny and doesn’t rely on luck. While talking on this, the name Syed Turab Shah is considered on the top among those people.
He told us about his journey and said that it was a long journey, he have been a part of the media industry for more than 35 years now. He started his career in 1986 in Nawa-i-waqt Group (The Nation). Then he moved to Pakistan Today and worked there for 3 years then joined Pakistan Observer. And in the last he joined Daily Ausaf Group in December 2014 and has been working here ever since then.
He further stated that; Allah has been very kind and I can’t thank Allah enough for bestowing his blessings upon me. I also had great friends throughout this time; this also helped me make my career and a professional. My family has been a source of great influence and motivation.
One more thing he told us about is when is first stepped into the industry he noticed that it was not a career of first choice of anyone but now more and more people are taking interest in making their careers over here. The industry will now grow and will be improved with time because of the youngsters those are attracted towards the profession, understanding how much hard work and dedication it requires. They have a good understanding power if they would be trained in the field.
