I Believe That .....

Alsalam Alikom,
Hello,
Hola.

How are you all Today ?

Today I'll share things that I really Believe in, hope you like them...





1.I Believe That..
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want to get.

2.I Believe That..
Maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had, and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

3.I Believe That..
Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we've became. Don't blame anyone but yourself :D

4.I Believe That..
Judging people is one of the worst mistakes that we all fall into. If we just could stop doing that, life would be so much easier.

5.I Believe That..
I'm different & that i've great potentials, I just doesn't fit where I'm right now, However, I'm working towards finding the place where I can fit in, once I'm there, the real me will Dazzle everyone including me, or that's what I really hope ;)

6.I Believe That..
Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different. Just to emphasize that I'm different :D

7.I Believe That..
It's taking me a long time to become the person I wanna be. I'm not sure if what am I doing is the right thing to do, not sure what is it gonna get me to. Will I be the person that I wanna be someday?? I really don't know :(.

8.I Believe That..
Credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

9.I Believe That..
You can do something in an instant that will give you headache for life.

10.I Believe That..
What's keeping me alive & going is :
A. Strong Faith in Almighty ALLAH.
B. Hope.
C. Optimism.
D. Relentless struggle.

11. I Believe That..
You only Fail when you stop trying & You can't Win until u r not afraid to loose ( in other words: you can't win until you are not afraid to play with the offside trap;):D:D:D:D )

12.I Believe That..
You can keep going long after you think you can't, Just do your best to go for what you can, the rest is in ALLAH's hands.

13.I Believe That..
No matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief. You too should not stop, If you've to, then not for too long.

14.I Believe That..
Helping everyone around you with no limitations whatsoever, is a great thing to do specially if you are a Muslim and doing it in the context that "Muslims are mercy for all mankind", However, currently it is a really hard thing to do.

15.I Believe That..
You should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them. True experience !!!

16.I Believe That..
Heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the risks or consequences. Where are those right now ???

17.I Believe That..
Money is a lousy way of keeping score.

18.I Believe That..
A Smile is a little curve that can set a lot of things straight.

19.I Believe That..
It will be really difficult to find my soul mate. I really hope that i'm wrong.

20.I Believe That..
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; They just make the most of everything.

Well, What do you believe in?

We Will Not Go Down In Gaza Tonight

Alsalam Alikom,
Hello,
Hola,

How are you all ?

Today, Let me share with you the lyrics and the video of a really great song about Gaza, The 1st American video about Gaza ....
I won't comment about it, just read the lyrics and watch the video which is more than enough ...
--------------------------------------------------------
We Will not Go Down ... By Michael Heart
--------------------------------------------------------
A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they're dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who's wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight


O

Well, hope you enjoyed your time here, come back again ...

Adios

That's why we are the funniest population on Planet Earth

Alsalam Alikom,

Hello,

Hola,

How are you doing today ??

In this Topic I'm gonna post a couple of videos I've recently watched, They are Hilarious and shows our Egyptian way to cry out when we are so suppressed/depressed ...

The 1st video, Shows a punch of Medical Students, I think in the 6th year after a final oral exam., instead of Storming out, being Sad or depressed, they made fun of the situation in this video, this is a well known defense mechanism in psychiatry called "Humor", and this is one of the Mature Defense Mechanisms ... That's why we are still surviving, this is how we cope with stresses in our daily lives on different degrees ofcourse, but this is one of the most Hilarious videos I've ever seen, I guess at least we are mature after all, and when we face the q how are you coping with these stresses? I guess we should answer, coz we are more mature, we just make fun of, we laugh ... :D:D

Just watch the Video and enjoy ...





This is another Video in 2 parts about the Traffic in Cairo, Also one of the most Hilarious Videos i've ever seen .. Here is Part (1) ...



And Here is Part (2)



I hope you've enjoyed your time, please let me know your opinion & comments, they mean a lot to me & please come back soon.

Take care

Ramadan Mobarak

Alsalam Alikom,
Hello,
Hola,

How are you all ??

Long time since my last post but a great time to be back to Say Ramadan Mobarak To You All and wish you all a blessed and Happy Ramadan ...



And let me suggest some few things to you that could help us not to waste this Holly month and get the best out of it ... I wish you all Approved Fasting, Approved DU'AA and Oldness from the fire INSHALLAH ...

These recommendation i'm telling myself too ...


So, 1st of all We have to follow Mr. Amr Khaled new program in Ramadan " Qasas AL Quran " will be aired on Mehwar and Resalah TV every day at 11:00 pm KSA, 10:00 pm CLT and repeat will be on Mehwar everyday after ElAsr Prayer ...



2nd ... Mr. Amr recommended a very great idea of making a table for your activities for the whole month ... where you schedule your activities ... for example ... Reading Quran .. every day a whole chapter, prayers in Time in Mosque, Taraweeh pray, Sadaka, calling family and friends, making DUAA ... etc. ... u just mark every day what you got done from the list .. this will motivate you to do a lot and keep track of your progress through The Holly Month ...


3rd and the last thing, is to prepare special DUAA to make in Ramadan ... All Sahaba were doing that and they swear that next Ramadan comes with all their DUAA's of previous Ramadan has been answered ...

At Last, all I can say is that this is a chance for us to wash out all what we have done the previous year so, why not to seize it ???? please do your best to seize it ...

Happy Ramadan ....

To Light a Small Candle is Better Than To Spend Your Life Cursing The Darkness

Alsalam Alikom,
Hello,
Hola,

How are you today ?

Today I wanna talk about something that has been bothering me for a while and keeps hitting my mind so i decided to let it out here ...

I wanna talk about a thing that is supposed to be a personal trait but the weired thing that in reality it is a community trait ...

I wanna talk about something that is holding us back and if we just stopped it or at least suppressed it for a while, I think our lives will improve a lot ....

Wanna know what I wanna talk about ???

Well continue reading & you will know ... :D

I wanna talk about us complaining all the time about our bad life circumstances and never do anything about it ...

Just complaining, screaming, shouting, cursing .. but never thinking what to do to change it ..

The weired thing that this should be a personal trait, i mean this should be how a person a like, this is his/her character, but not to be a trait that all the community share ???

If you watched the Movie " Yakobian Building " .... " عمارة يعقوبيان " ..... Khaled Saleh in a Scence said a sentence that is completely true ... He said
" People are looking at the government as if she is their mothers " ....
" الشعب ماسك فى الحكومة كأنها أمه "

Although he said it in another context, but when i thought about it, i said to myself yeh this is completely true ...
How ?? & please don't jump into conclusions and start judging me ... just read till the end to understand my point ...

Moms in our countries always do everything for their kids, and kids always expect that from their Moms and we grow up, get out of our homes to the real life, face difficulties and see the reality of life and how hard it actually is and this causes a lot of negative feelings inside us that we have to look for a relief for them ... How do we do that ??

Simple, by throwing the responsibility on the government, even if we share part of this responsibility ... I'm not saying that this is how everyone reacts, but a great proportion of us do so ...

Every difficulty in our lives, every problem we face, every hardship, directly the government is announced responsible...

I'm not saying that it is not responsible, of course it is ... but what I'm aiming at, what did we do about it ??? we just stop at defining the responsibility, then wait for the responsible to have an action, what if he didn't ?? what will be the situation?? what we gonna do ??? No one knows , No one thinks, No one takes an action ...

Let me ask you something ...

What if you are living in a building that needs some serious repairs or else it will collapse, and the owner of the building or the president of the Owner's Union is someone who is corrupted and won't take any action & you tried every single method to force him to repair it but he still didn't???
What will be the most appropriate action you gonna take ??

A) Will you keep holding him the responsibility then keep on complaining, shouting, cursing, screaming may be crying and never take an action till the building collapses on you and your family ???

Or

B) Will you take an action, start planning with other residents/owners to repair the building on your expenses for the sake of yourself and your little family???

Of course, you should choose B ...

Although this is a very simple and very logic choice but when it comes to reality the majority chooses A ... I don't know why ?? I can't figure out a reason for such a silly choice ...

I think the problem is that we don't see the bigger picture, we don't understand that the building will collapse, I think this is the reason ... and Hence my post here, that i wish it could raise the public awareness, of course if the public read this, but if i only got just 1 person to see the bigger picture, then my job is done ...

What I mean is that We don't have to wait for the government to do everything for us, everyone who can fix anything should do it .. you are not doing it for the government you are doing it for yourself, this is our government and this is our country we can't work against each other, we have to work in a synergistic way, we complete each other ...

for example, if you complain of garbage that is everywhere, then you have to know that this is your garbage, you made it yourself, so if you don't like it then next time you should not throw it in the streets, when you driving your car, don't open the window to throw an empty can then complain of Garbage and remember the Hadith that says :

" اماطة الأذى عن الطريق صدقة "

& so if u can't remove it from the street, then at least don't complicate the problem more and more ...

Of course this is a very simple example, but if u thought about it, you'll see that you can apply it to every single aspect of our lives, if you have a problem, then try to figure out a solution for it ... for example if you complaining of bad education, then you can look for advanced courses, I personally hold a great respect to some of my friends who took a step forward than that, back in college they ran for a position in the student association and when they succeeded they started so many useful activities, they started arranging their student conference, which was a 1st in my faculty, that we hold a conference that is totally arranged by students, and they started arranging for courses in moderate & convenient fees for all students, they even started a student exchange program where some of our colleges traveled abroad through this program and gained a lot of experiences ....

Believe me it is easy to find a solution, if you really wanna find one, you just need to think with hope and faith in ALLAH and trust that ALLAH will reward your activities all the way ...

And you also need to do something else, you need to live as ALLAH and his Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) told you to live ... ALLAH created us to do 3 things ..

1. Worshiping ALLAH ... عبادة الله
   
2. Building Civilization on earth ..... عمارة الأرض
3. Improving yourself to reach honesty in your worship of ALLAH .... تزكية النفس
   

N.B.
تزكية النفس هو العلم الذى اذا طبقته يتحقق الاخلاص فى العبادة بمعنى ما يردده لسانك يردده قلبك فى نفس الوقت

And to do no. 2 we need....

- To work together ... most of our problems especially in the Arab world is that we can't work together, we are stubborn enough that no one can ever be flexible to listen to others opinions and actually follow them if they are correct ..

- To make our aim is the welfare of our countries and the Islamic UMMAH ... If you ever tried to do even a very little thing but with your intention is the welfare of the UMMAH, believe me the feeling is priceless, the best feeling that you can ever think of ... just try it once and you will never leave it ... and Remember the Verse that says ..

" و من أحياها فكأنما أحيا الناس جميعا "


- To play on the referee whistle ... I mean you gotta work to improve our lives, to build civilization till the last breath of your life, even on the death bed ... From where i get that concept ??? ... From the prophet's Hadith ....

اذا قامت الساعة و بيد أحدكم فسيلة فليغرسها "
صدق رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم

What is the meaning of this Hadith ??

It is an order from our Prophet to plant a seed if you have one in your hands even if the Apocalypse has started already i.e. play on the referee whistle, this is a clear identification of our role on planet earth, to build civilization ... even during Apocalypse and to have Hope till the last breathe .. i.e. it is a call for hard work, hope in tomorrow and to be optimistic ....

ِAnd at last ...

To light a Small Candle is Better Than To Spend Your Life Cursing the Darkness

I'm done talking, Hope that I had delivered my message ...

By the way, there is a really great book that can help you change your life .. it is named " How to stop worrying and start living " by Dale Carnegie ... Here is the link to it in Amazon ...

http://www.amazon.com/How-Stop-Worrying-Start-Living/dp/0671035975/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1214485915&sr=1-1

If you are interested, you can order it from Amazon, and you can find it in Virigin in Citystars, or in ElKotobkhan bookshop in Maadi ... Also, I think you'll find a translation for this great book in Arabic ... just ask for it ...

Talk to you later, waiting for your comments ...

Salam,
Bye,
Adios
