“He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;
Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;
Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;
Who has left the world better than he found it,
Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;
Whose life was an inspiration;
Whose memory a benediction.”

“Dare to Be

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.

When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.

When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.

When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.

When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.

When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.

When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.

When times are tough, dare to be tougher.

When love hurts you, dare to love again.

When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.

When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.

When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.

When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.

When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.

When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.

Dare to be the best you can –

At all times, Dare to be!”
― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

“إغضب كما تشاء..
واجرح أحاسيسي كما تشاء
حطم أواني الزهر والمرايا
هدد بحب امرأةٍ سوايا..
فكل ما تفعله سواء.....
كل ما تقوله سواء..
فأنت كالأطفال يا حبيبي
نحبهم.. مهما لنا أساؤوا..
إغضب!
فأنت رائعٌ حقاً متى تثور
إغضب!
فلولا الموج ما تكونت بحور..
كن عاصفاً.. كن ممطراً..
فإن قلبي دائماً غفور
إغضب!”
― Nizar Qabbani
