Excerpt 48
In a path that everyone knows and walks in, traveling to a destination where their dreams come true and the pleasure of their continued efforts throughout the years lies; the path of success and Summit , the path of complacency. This path needs sacrifices and a price to get there; needs determination and will, commitment and time, struggle, patience and diligence. I think it would have been better if we were taught in our schools how to achieve goals in our lives, rather than those materials that were for temporary knowledge and wasting time. I wonder: why does the majority study just to pass the exams? And I answer, because there isn’t any goal to use that knowledge in the future! No goal mean’s no life, continue your journey my son to wherever you want!

Don't wear a Mask
A young man was promoted to executive director, he lacked self-esteem in the office, did not convince himself with the new position and did not know how to deal with it. One day someone knocked his office door, he started acting busy to look important, so he grabbed the phone and pretended that he is having a conversation with someone and asked the person at the door to come in. The person has waited for the executive director to end his call, whom was confirming over the phone “that there is no problem”, “that he’ll take care of it himself”, and “that he is going to deal with the situation as soon as possible”. After the director has hanged off the call, he asked the visitor for the purpose of his visit. The visitor answered: “I came to connect the phone wires, sir”
What do we get from this? Why pretend? What are we trying to prove to others? That we’re practical, rich? We’re trustworthy? We deserve the job, power and leadership? Why do we lie to ourselves before lying to others? What’s important about fake feelings? People do that in low self-esteem and low self respect. Self respect is our feelings towards our-selves, not necessarily over-amplify our personalities to feel self-satisfied

Your ability in producing increases
Your relations enhance more with people
And the world around you looks pretty
When you feel self-satisfied
So trust yourself and achieve what you want…

Eddie Vedder - Society
It's a mystery to me
we have a greed
with which we have agreed
You think you have to want
more than you need
until you have it all you won't be free
society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
When you want more than you have
you think you need
and when you think more than you want
your thoughts begin to bleed
I think I need to find a bigger place
'cos when you have more than you think
you need more space
society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me
there's those thinking more or less less is more
but if less is more how you're keeping score?
Means for every point you make
your level drops
kinda like its starting from the top
you can't do that...
society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me
society, have mercy on me
I hope you're not angry if I disagree
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

Success
Success comes with effort; to win you must try.
This is one fact that no one can deny.
So when you make the effort, if you fall,
Just get right up, be bold; stand tall!
Success is not guaranteed; so don’t play around,
But failure is guaranteed if you stay down.
So get up quickly and dust yourself right off;
Don’t even give failure a second thought!
Believe in yourself and in your power to succeed.
When the talk is negative, just refuse to heed.
Be positive; reject failure. Tell yourself, “It’s not my cup!”
Victory will be yours if you always get up!
::::: you're the strongest :::::
When you go through hard times you’ll collapse, experience pain and get a visit from the ghost of suspicion, which confuses you and shakes your confidence. You’ll find envious people gathering around you fast to nail the opportunity that you slipped into their hands; they’ll enjoy and celebrate your failure. Then you will start hearing negative, defeatist and incapacitating words, such as, “I told you that you can’t do it!”, “you’re not qualified to fly in the sky of successful people”, “You’re a loser”, “Don’t fight for anything in this world, because it’s not worth it!” you either fall for them or run alive. When you undergo these periods, watch out for those losers and whom try to put you down, and stay away from them. Get back your confidence and beat up your negative temporarily feelings to regain believing in yourself once again. All of us go through these periods and we have to deal with them, instead of giving up into them.
Inspirational flick:
Continue your progress to the top
over-come your weakness and doubt
never settle for less than what you deserve.

Continue your struggle
When you want to do something valuable in your life, and you are ready to fight for it, you’ll find everyone around you laughing at you, criticizing and putting you down. And when you make a mistake and fail, they’ll be happy and their conscience will rest. After that, when you struggle yourself to stand on your feet and continue your journey to achieve your dream and goal, they’ll be concerned. Also when you burnish your talents and skills and achieve a small success, they’ll be afraid that you’ll fly high in the sky and your star will glow. Then you’ll develop more and more of yourself and gain self-esteem, achieve what you wanted to achieve with pride and dignity, and your name becomes a trade mark among the successful and the lights of fame, at that time, they’ll try to be close to you, smile at you and take pictures with you as a souvenir.
This is life, you cannot translate to others your dream and determination on what you want in life; nobody can see what wonders in your mind and imagination, only you can. Your actions clarify what you make-up in your mind and think of. Dream and pursue what you want to achieve, don’t pay heed to what others say about you; your self-image does not reflect what others think of you. Have the strength, determination and patience to continue your struggle to achieve your dreams, and recourse to Allah; never give up.

Just like a volcano
One of my friends told me “Abdulaziz, you’re a rare coin among the youth; you have a strong power, your ideas are unique, different and live, your activities are purposeful, directive and inspiring, also your writings are creative and useful to read. But I give you one clear advice, don’t take out all what you got (power, creativity…etc) all at once, so you wouldn’t burn your success; when you’re out of the seeds of your production, later you wouldn’t find anything to offer to yourself nor others, therefore, your star will vanish, your light will no longer glow, and your flame will cool.”
I smiled and said to myself in the inside “if only he knew what I know, see what I see in my mind, and feel my efforts, patience, pain and struggle that took me to this stage; which is not a result of one of the steps of reaching success to the top. If I translated to him my dream, ambitions and vision for a year, he wouldn’t understand what I mean and wouldn’t get what I say, because these things cannot be translated only by action.”
I told him frankly “who built himself holily to Allah and pursued a message with a vision in his life won’t be out of his strong creative power, since enthusiasm and motivation will be his fuel to what he wants to reach. Fame, admiration and money are not the purposes of success, there are motivations that makes a person do impossible and unbelievable things; for example, proving to the world that he deserves to be the best, when he used to be nothing and worthless; he deserves to be proudly crowned on the throne of success, proving wrong those who didn’t believe in him in the beginning of his journey, because he achieved the incredible in the world of impossible. He made a successful character in this life out of will, determination, confidence, courage, strength, pain, competition, tears, boundaries, failure, consistence, love, initiation and communicating. Those are simply the basics and braces of achievement.
I’m like a volcano, I explode only in the right time, and for the right thing. I have the power to achieve what others can’t copy me in, and there are whom tried, but confessed that he couldn’t, because he saw a long road that needs time, efforts, commitment, work, principles and settled values to be built. Thank you my friend for your advice, but I will not stop nor save my energy, because my fountainhead is unlimited.
Thank you for making me write something nice about myself.

No failure
No failure
You should know that there is no such thing so-called failure; you should know that and absorb it. Always remember that Allah never misses the “Ajer” of whom did good deeds. If you did something but you didn’t get any results, the solution would be, is to try again; because you might have learned from your first attempt, and gained some benefit. You have to promise yourself not to indulge in feelings of dejection and depression. That doesn’t mean that there won’t be any jolts or boundaries, we have to be realistic about that.
Everyone faces challenges, problems and devastation in life; the thing that differentiate us from each other, is how we handle them. You have to move and accomplish what you have in mind, so that your self-image would correspond with reality. Since success, failure, power, victory, defeat and achievement all these are results of your thinking and imagination. Intelligence is the human’s unlimited fortune, it’s what defines your destiny, it’s what got you to what you are today; what you do and gain, what you give and take, all that comes from previous decisions you made in the past, which were originated from an idea and a perception.
You have never failed, you’re simply achieving results, whether it was small, big or huge. For example, you weight one-hundred fifty pounds, and you wanted to lose 50 pounds, so you started taking the right decisions and the right methods to accomplish that goal. You registered in a health club, avoided eating at fast food restaurants and focused on a healthy diet. After two months of struggling with the diet and exercising, your weight became one-hundred and twenty pounds, would you call that a failure? Or did you achieve a result? Even if the hoped goal wasn’t achieved, there is nothing so-called failure. Failure is stopping after the first attempt because there were no results, success is to keep trying nine times and get something at the tenth attempt. Never consider yourself a loser in your life.
Inspiring flick:
Your thoughts today, determines your destiny, so fill your mind with positive ideas and images about yourself, and you’ll see that you’re achieving excellent results in your life.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
"The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," first published in 1989, is a self-help book written by Stephen
Habit 1: Be proactive.
Change starts from within. Most people react to external forces. To lead effectively, you have to overcome that natural tendency.
Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind.
You cannot lead unless you know where you want to get to.
Habit 3: Put first things first.
This is similar to what Drucker recommends. You need to have a very clear view of what is important, so that you know what to spend time on. Note that this often means leaving your comfort zone by acting on tasks that you don't naturally like or feel competent in performing.
Habit 4: Think win/win.
Seek agreement and relationships that are mutually beneficial. In cases in which a win/win deal cannot be achieved, accept that agreeing on "no deal" may be the best alternative. In developing an organizational culture, be sure to reward win/win behavior among employees, and avoid inadvertently rewarding win/lose behavior.
Habit 5: Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
First seek to understand the other person, and only then try to be understood. Stephen Covey presents this habit as the most important principle of inter-personal relations. Effective listening is not simply echoing what the other person has said through the lens of your own experience. Rather, it is putting yourself in the mindset of the other person, listening empathetically for both feeling and meaning.
Habit 6: Synergize.
Through trustful communication, find ways to leverage
Habit 7: Sharpen the saw.
Take time out from production to build production capacity through personal renewal of the physical, mental, social/emotional, and spiritual dimensions. Maintain a balance among these dimensions.

Watch out!
Watch out!
Did you know? It’s painful to know the truth and what is right; to know the right methods to achieve your wants, yet you don’t act, apply, implement nor accomplish anything; as if you are bucking yourself. the solution is known, you need to go to a secluded location, where no one can hear you, to scream a scream that would shake the dormant bacteria in your brain, to awake your numb senses and feelings and to bring back your brain from the interim incaution, which kills the person if he overlooked it for period of time, do you know what am I talking about? I’m talking about the brain’s shutdown, when you accept hearing negative things from yourself and others, and when you don’t mind inappropriate behavior, also bad habits, manners and actions, whether it was between you and yourself, God or others.
There are times when a person gives up on his missions and goals, ambitions and dreams, things he believes in and wish to achieve to satisfy himself. There are many reasons that lies behind that swirl, such as, having a dwindling relationship with Allah and unpleased parents, deceiving oneself, the surrounding environment, the psychological discomfort and the friends that discourage energy and creativity. You might be the first damper or your brother, sister or any close person to you, therefore, you have to watch out from these little things that leaves a huge impact in your life.
It’s your time to make your decision!
Do what you love to do, to love what you are doing. Now, a moment or in awhile later all these little things are very important to change the track of your day and life. Personal and professional abundance and the core to freedom is to do whatever you love because you want to and you would like to, not because you have to. Away from “fame”, “power” and the word “success” just enjoy what you are doing. Academic success, professional success or even personal success doesn’t end nor cease; success is a phased results ; it gives you a sign that you are on the right path, nothing more. In our lives we have three choices for everything; yes, no or maybe. For example; when someone asks for your help, you choose to approve or turn him down. Your choice comes from the way you analyze things in your brain; the way you think. You’re responsible of your mood today by the decisions you take. Make sure to say “Yes” to every positive thing; that would add joy and pleasure in your day. Allah subhan-ah wa ta’ala (The sacred and the mighty) blessed you with a lot of blessings inside you, specialties of yours, no one else have them; you need to explore them by your decisions to benefit from them. Thank Allah and praise him for his countless blessings.

Exhilarate your life
Exhilarate your life
No one in this world have achieved all his desires and dreams, yet there are who achieved what no one have ever believed in. the secret of our lives relies in understanding ourselves and discovering our own, finding the hidden powers within us and developing them. Thinking outside ourselves deprive us a lot of time and opportunities for building our characters, to stir the canvas of the ships of our lives.
Our lives are beliefs and thoughts planted in our minds, whether it was negative or positive. The way you deal with people, make your decisions, get angry, smile and act comes as a result of your beliefs.
Islam eased and illuminated our way, built the path of our journey in this life with clear Islamic values like honesty, integrity, love, peace, education, growth, health, work and helping others.
You have the right to be proud of your religion O’ Muslim, since there is no religion on this earth but Islam that sets principles and values for people to apply them in their lives. It’s a wonder that the west write books about our Islamic values and principles, and apply them.
Here are some very useful ideas to help you focus on becoming ample in energy to yourself and others:
-Be thankful to Allah on everything.
-Do not be against of anything, always be positive.
-Meditate in your thoughts, dreams and goals. The west Preceded us by meditation and self-talk.
-Often repeat positive affirmation, such as, I’m the ideal employee, I’m sure that I’ll pass the exam, I’m self-confident.
-Give others more than their expectations.

You’re lucky, because you’re unique in your life!
Keep moving forward, never retreat from achieving your goals,
And accomplishing your dreams.
