The recent checkmate in Punjab by Imran Khan has sent waves of anticipation throughout the nation. Khan, who was shot while marching toward Islamabad, has emerged from the incident even more determined to become the most powerful stakeholder in Pakistan.
Khan’s commitment to his country is reminiscent of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s own resiliency after he was diagnosed with polio in 1921. Though the disease caused him to lose the use of his legs, Roosevelt was determined to overcome his disability and serve his country. He went on to become one of the most influential figures in U.S. history and is credited with leading the nation out of the Great Depression and into a period of prosperity.

Like Roosevelt, Khan is determined to make his nation great. He is already hard at work launching seminars that promote discussion to improve the economy, increase access to education and health care, and reduce corruption. Khan’s commitment to improving the lives of Pakistanis is inspiring, and he is likely to achieve great things if he continues to persevere and become prime minister of Pakistan once again.
Khan’s story is a reminder of the power of determination and resilience. Though his temporary disability may be a physical one, his determination to make a difference in Pakistan is no less strong. His story serves as an example to all of us that we can overcome any obstacle if we are determined to succeed.
