IMRAN KHAN

Early life
At one place Santiago is quoted as saying “But a man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.” Imran Khan the famous Pakistani cricketer is a true example of this quote.
Imran Khan was born in Lahore Pakistan into Punjabi speaking family of Pathan origin, the only son of Ikram ullah Khan Niazi, a civil engineer, and his wife Shaukat Khanum. Although long settled in Mianwali in northwestern Punjab, the family are of Pashtun ethnicity and belong to the Niazi Shermankhel tribe. A quiet and shy boy in his youth, Khan grew up with his four sisters in relatively affluent (upper middle-class) circumstances and received a privileged education. He was educated at the Cathedral School in Lahore, the Royal Grammar School Worcester in England, where he excelled at cricket, and at Aitchison College, Lahore. In 1972, he enrolled to study Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Keble College, Oxford, where he graduated with a second-class degree in Politics and a third in Economics. Khan’s mother hailed from the Burki family which had produced several successful hockey players, as well as cricketers such as Javed Burki and Majid Khan. Early in life, Khan developed an interest in cricket, which is an extremely popular sport in Pakistan.
Professional life
As a cricketer:
Khan made a lacklustre first-class cricket debut at the age of sixteen in Lahore. By the start of the 1970s, he was playing for his home teams of Lahore (1969–70), Lahore B (1969–70), and Lahore Greens (1970–71) and, eventually, Lahore (1970–71). Khan was part of Oxford University's Blues Cricket team during the 1973–75 seasons. At Worcestershire, where he played county cricket from 1971 to 1976, he was regarded as only an average medium pace bowler. During this decade, other teams represented by Khan include Dawood Industries (1975–76) and Pakistan International Airlines (1975–76 to 1980–81). From 1983 to 1988, he played

    Chak De! India opens in Delhi during the final minutes of a (fictional) Hockey world cup match between Pakistan and India with Pakistan leading, 1-0. When the Indian team captain, Kabir Khan (Shahrukh khan) is fouled, he elects to take the penalty stroke himself. His strike, however, flies just above the goal and India suffers a crushing defeat. Soon after match ends, the media begins to circulate a photograph of Khan accepting a handshake from the captain of the Pakistan team. This action leads to a nationwide smear campaign which alleged that Khan (who is Muslim) might have "thrown" the game in an act of sympathy towards Pakistan. The religious prejudice exhibited towards Khan by the entire…

    Teaching and educational psychology are key elements in having a a successful classroom. Taking the Ormrod’s Psychology Survey really shows how there are many common misbeliefs to how children learn. Ormrod’s text stresses the importance of understanding research. “Quantitative research yields information that is inherently numerical in nature or can be easily reduced to numbers” (Ormrod, J. 2011. p 4). Qualitative research “research that yields information that cannot be easily reduced to numbers; typically involves an in-depth examination of a complex phenomenon.” (Ormrod, J. 2011. p 4). When an educator understands different ways that information is gathered and explored then they are able to further explore their study of their students behavior. The most important thing as a student of education is that there is the ability to merge the information from quantitive research and qualitative research. Theories in education are exciting possibilities that can be examined and explored. There are millions of different possibilities as far as theories that are related to our students: motivation, behavior, development and learning. To successfully teach, understanding why and how our students preform is key. In the classroom we must continually assess our on students work and then develop methods to help students improve.…
