At last, we all will be sleeping in the graves. Before that, why not to turn events beneath the sky so that our voice reaches to God. Some quotes on Good-byes:
To say that Islam is peaceful does not explain why it also seeks to awaken people to a struggling spirit. And, to say that Islam is violent does not explain why it also emphasizes peace so ardently. Even Rabindranath Tagore, a Nobel Laureate in literature from West Bengal, India and a non-Muslim, recognized this aspect so beautifully in his novel, Gora. Through the words of Gora, the central character of the novel, in a conversation with a meek and abused Muslim, Tagore states: “One who tolerates wrong is also blameworthy, because he endorses wrongdoing in this world. You won’t understand me, but remember that religion is not merely being good-natured, pleasant, humble, meek gentleman (bhalo-manushi). It simply emboldens the bad ones. Your Muhammad had understanding of this and that’s why he did not propagate the faith merely as pleasant and meek gentleman (bhalomanush)”. [pp. 111-112]
Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm. Today in the first day of 3rd Creative Leaders Conference, there was a very thought-provoking and energetic presentation of Mz Shireen Naqvi who is the head of School of Leadership in Karachi. In her lecture, I liked these wise words very much. To know oneself truly and honestly, one should see one’s following aspects: You are what you think. A young man who lived by the sea loved seagulls. Every morning at daybreak he would go to the seaside and play with the gulls. Hundreds of gulls would come to him and not fly away. His father said, ‘I heard that seagulls like to play with you. Catch a few for me so that I can play with them too.’ The next morning when the father went to the seaside the seagulls swooped about in the skies but none came down to him. The message of this parable is that one may try, but unable to, hide one’s inner thoughts. Even birds and animals can sense one’s true feelings. Henry Mille has rightly said, ‘In this age, which believes that there is a short cut to everything, the greatest lesson to be learned is that the most difficult way is, in the long run, the easiest.’ Even when it comes to success, there is no short cut and even if some one achieves something worthwhile by chance, that will not last for long. Henry Mille Mr. Khari will speak on ‘Positive Thinking for Regional Conflict Resolution’. International delegates from Germany and Afghanistan will also participate in the conference. 3rd International Creative Leaders’ Conference will be held from 23-25 APRIL 2010 at Dreamland Motel, Islamabad.

We are not responsible for change or result. We are only responsible for efforts. Change or results are in the hands of God. What we are required to do is to keep on struggling, keep on moving and not to be discouraged by adversities and problems. Be not afraid of moving slowly, be afraid only of standing still. A bit of fragrance clings to the hand that gives flowers. A book holds a house of gold. A book is like a garden carried in the pocket. A book tightly shut is but a block of paper. A child’s life is like a piece of paper on which every person leaves a mark. A diamond with a flaw is worth more than a pebble without imperfections. A filthy mouth will not utter decent language. A fool judges people by the presents they give him. A gem is not polished without rubbing, nor a man perfected without trials. A nation’s treasure is in its scholars. A rat who gnaws at a cat’s tail invites destruction. Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still. Be the first to the field and the last to the couch. Dig the well before you are thirsty. Do good, reap good; do evil, reap evil. Do not employ handsome servants. Do not fear going forward slowly; fear only to stand still. Don’t open a shop unless you like to smile. Each generation will reap what the former generation has sown. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever. He who is drowned is not troubled by the rain. He who strikes the first blow admits he’s lost the argument. If heaven made him, earth can find some use for him. If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow. If you bow at all, bow low. If you don’t want anyone to know, don’t do it. Six humans trapped by happenstance Their dying fire in need of logs, The next man looking cross the way, The third one sat in tattered clothes, The rich man just sat back and thought The black man’s face bespoke revenge The last man of this forlorn group The logs held tight in death’s still hands By James Patrick Kinney Life was tough but I proved even tougher! This angel looking doll started her life in an old caravan (small van house) in UK, only to be welcomed by dire poverty. Shekeila Palmer is the daughter of a single mother Deborah Palmer. In her own words, “I have never seen such a deprivation anywhere in UK”. The caravan walls were very thin with no insulation. Ice sheets used to form on inside of the windows during freezing winters. Roof was leaking so they had to place buckets under it strategically. They did not have enough money to warm the main area so poor souls would squeeze into their tiny bedroom, merely the size of a large cupboard. Mould was forming on the furniture due to moisture & cold. Mum used to buy toys & other items for her from jumble sales and used items shops. They grew their own vegetables in the garden. Shekeila started primary school in a 2nd hand uniform. They would walk 2.25 KM one way to school and back in all weathers. It was a real hard start to life for Shekeila. She did not have many of the necessities of life let alone luxuries compared to her age mates. After 8 years local government offered them a small flat. It was like a palace to them. Shekeila enjoyed a proper warm living space for the first time in her life. Both persistently worked very hard. Deborah used to borrow many books from public library and read them to Shekeila even before she could talk. Shekeila studied extremely diligently. Students in UK apply for undergraduate admission after completing A Levels. They can send their application to a maximum of five universities at once. Depending on their grades they usually get accepted for one or two universities. Shekeila achieved excellent A grades, and was offered admission to all five universities she applied to! Despite she worked at a local shop on weekends, she was awarded First Class Honors degree, usually only achieved by top 2% (not more that 2 or 3 students per class). She received distinction at Masters also, again only one or two students would accomplish it in a class. Shekeila is doing a PhD now days funded by a scholarship won through tough competition. Well done Shekeila! Shekeila Palmer Now (2010) Deborah is proud of her daughter. She determinedly advises to all children & parents: “Children don’t have to come from comfortable background or go to expensive schools [to succeed in life]. All they need is the ability to work hard, persevere against the odds and have the will & determination to succeed. I am proud of my daughter for what she has achieved & because she has proved that even with an impoverished start in life, you can still succeed & thrive.” Congratulations to both of you Deborah and Shekeila; you are a beacon of light for others! Success is yours also my friends, all you need is to have: - Will for it - Work for it, & - Persevere for it “Permanence, perseverance & persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, & impossibilities: It is this that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak.” Thomas Carlyle Be a strong soul. Be a Man (or a woman in this case!) - Prove yourself Source: http://kashif-ali.com |
