Words of wisdom

“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.” – Albert Ellis


“The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score.” – Bill Copeland

“If what you’re doing is not your passion, you have nothing to lose.”

“The person who says something is impossible should not interrupt the person who is doing it.”

“It is never too late to be what you might have been.” – George Eliot

“All our dreams can come true – if we have the courage to pursue them.” – Walt Disney

And this is the most one i liked :

“Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

And i believe the most in this :

“If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.” -Milton Berle

“First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.” – Mahatma Gandhi

“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drowned your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs

Today i got one of the best advices in my life, but i prefer to write it as said exactly ...

"لما تيجي تعملي حاجة كويسة أو معروف مح أي شخص ,اعمليه من باب ان انتي شخص نبيل ,شخص غالي و أعلى و أحسن من ان يستنى حاجة من الدنيا, " ...

Enjoy :)

The princess is dead

This is one of my cousin's great work. Leave you with the poem ..

"I know you expect me to always stay

But you're not the only person around

If you won't be mine somebody else may

Somebody who cares for anything I say,he loves my actions & sound

He is somebody else who wants me

He always was here but i was with you so I didn't care

He's dragging me to his cage so I no longer will be free

And you aren't here to protect me,you don't dare

You think you can't so you've gone away

You're running from you responsibility & this isn't right

You've to stand for what you believe in & say

That you're here to stand & fight

You're running & leaving your princess to someone else to keep her well & fine

Someone she doesn't wanna be with but he's longing for her

once the fairytale is told you'll say she WAS mine

You'll weep & cry thinking this isn't fair

But do you think you're the only who will die from pain & won't survive?

She died from the moment you left her,she died that day

Don't you know that once you left her she is no longer alive?

You killed your princess & you killed you

And if you think you're alive then you 'll live in pain

The people are asking who killed our princess who?

Who is the one who lost his mind to do that? Who is that insane?

A moment of silence...


But then fingers will point to you

Everyone will hate you being there

And you won't believe that's all true

Guilt will be everywhere

Then you'll weep..My princess?! What have I done? Where are you?

...The princess is dead

She's no longer here

That's all what is said

That's why you drop a tear

If she was alive she would have stoop by your side

She would protect you though behind you she is supposed to hide

She'd be the comfort within the fear


But I'm sorry my dear ..

The princess is dead & here is the proof

She is under her grave

All you ought to do is to wish she's safe

......

I still can hear you calling her name

Looking at the door from which she always came

On you I'll lay all the blame

The princess is dead & it's your fault.

Something to say ....

"You don't always have to pretend to be strong, there is no need to prove all the time that everything is going well.

You shouldn't be concerned about what other people are thinking..

Cry if you need to, it's good to cry out all your tears

(because only then you will be able to smile again ) "

~ Coelho - Like The Flowing River

I've just received this poem at my google reader :

"إذا حار أمرك في معنيين … ولم تدر حيث الخطأ وحيث الصواب
فخالف هواك فإن الهوى … يقود النفس إلى ما يعاب

يريد المرء أن يعطى مناه ….. ويأبى الله إلا ما أراد
يقول المرء فائدتي ومالي ….. وتقوى الله أفضل ما استفاد

ولرب نازلة يضيق لها الفتى ….. ذرعا وعند الله منها المخرج
ضاقت فلما استحكمت حلقاتها ….. فرجت وكنت أظنها لا تفرج

الدهر يومان ذا أمن وذا خطر ….. والعيش عيشان ذا صفو وذا كدر
أما ترى البحر تعلو فوقه جيف ….. وتستقر بأقصى قاعه الدرر
"وفي السماء نجوم لا عداد لها ….. وليس يكسف إلا الشمس والقمر

I think the writer should put at the end..Ya Yassmin !
