Brain Drain

    All our lives , we struggle to do well. In school we do well so that we can get into a good college. In college we work hard so to get into the best universities. Hard work doesn't end in university because we have to do our best in order to get a good job. We do all this hard work for what? For a good standard of living and to lead a happy life? We seem to think that we can't have a good standard of living in Pakistan so we study abroad, work there and end up staying there all our life, feeling so proud to get that green card in our hands. Increasing their Gross Domestic Product of those countries which further increases their standard of living, encouraging other Pakistanis to move there too.
    What is the point of  leaving t he comforts of of our own house for someone else's? When we have all this education, the power to make our country better, to increase the standard of living in our country, then why do we shift abroad where there is little to gain since their standard of living is already too high? Why are we stupid enough to fall for a few good mangoes when we could grow and entire tree full of them ourselves?
