“وهل ينجح في الامتحان إلا من حفظ ولم يفهم؟ وهل تدلّ هذه الامتحانات إلا على قوة الذاكرة ، وشدة الحفظ ، وإتقان المنهج المقرر ؟”

“The truth is, we only become secure in our convictions by allowing them to be challenged. Confident people don’t get riled by opinions different from their own, nor do they spew bile online by way of refutation. Secure people don’t decide others are irredeemably stupid or malicious without knowing who they are as individuals.”

“اقرأ هذه الآية:﴿... الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ...﴾إنها تتكرر بصيغتها أو معناها في القرآن أكثر من خمسين مرة، كأنما تؤكد لنا ضرورة توحيد أمرين اعتاد الناس على الفصل بينهما. إن هذه الآية تعبّر عن الفرق بين الدين (الإيمان) وبين الأخلاق (عملُ الصالحات) كما تأمر في الوقت نفسه بضرورة أن يسير الاثنان معًا. كذلك يكشف لنا القرآن عن علاقة أخرى عكسية بين الأخلاق والدين، فيوجه نظرنا إلى أن الممارسة الأخلاقية قد تكـون حافـزًا قويًا على التدين:﴿لَن تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّىٰ تُنفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ ۚ ﴾، فمعنى الآية هنا لا يقول: «آمن لتصبح خيِّرًا» وإنما على العكس يقول: «افعل الخير تصبح مؤمنًا». وفي هذه النقطة نرى إجابة على سؤال: كيف يمكن للإنسان أن يقوّي إيمانه؟ والإجابة هي: «افعل الخير تجد الله أمامك».”

“To listen well is to figure out what’s on someone’s mind and demonstrate that you care enough to want to know. It’s what we all crave; to be understood as a person with thoughts, emotions, and intentions that are unique and valuable and deserving of attention.
Listening is not about teaching, shaping, critiquing, appraising, or showing how it should be done (“Here, let me show you.” “Don’t be shy.” “That’s awesome!” “Smile for Daddy.”). Listening is about the experience of being experienced. It’s when someone takes an interest in who you are and what you are doing. The lack of being known and accepted in this way leads to feelings of inadequacy and emptiness. What makes us feel most lonely and isolated in life is less often the result of a devastating traumatic event than the accumulation of occasions when nothing happened but something profitably could have. It’s the missed opportunity to connect when you weren’t listening or someone wasn’t really listening to you.”
