“Nothing has a greater, longer lasting impression upon another person than the awareness that someone has transcended suffering, has transcended circumstance, and is embodying and expressing a value that inspires and ennobles and lifts life.”
― Stephen R. Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

“In the great literature of all progressive societies, love is a verb. Reactive people make it a feeling. They’re driven by feelings. Hollywood has generally scripted us to believe that we are not responsible, that we are a product of our feelings. But the Hollywood script does not describe the reality. If our feelings control our actions, it is because we have abdicated our responsibility and empowered them to do so. Proactive people make love a verb. Love is something you do: the sacrifices you make, the giving of self, like a mother bringing a newborn into the world. If you want to study love, study those who sacrifice for others, even for people who offend or do not love in return. If you are a parent, look at the love you have for the children you sacrificed for. Love is a value that is actualized through loving actions. Proactive people subordinate feelings to values. Love, the feeling, can be recaptured.”

“دع الأيام تفعل ما تشاء ..... وطب نفسا إذا حكم القضاء
ولا تجزع لحادثة الليالي ..... فما لحوادث الدنيا بقاء
وكن رجلا على الأهوال جلدا ..... وشيمتك السماحة والوفاء
وإن كثرت عيوبك في البرايا ..... وسرك أن يكون لها غطاء
تستر بالسخاء فكل عيب ..... يغطيه كما قيل السخاء
ولا تر للأعادي قط ذلا ..... فإن شماتة الأعدا بلاء
ولا ترج السماحة من بخيل ..... فما في النار للظمآن ماء
ورزقك ليس ينقصه التأني ..... وليس يزيد في الرزق العناء
ولا حزن يدوم ولا سرور ..... ولا بؤس عليك ولا رخاء
إذا ما كنت ذا قلب قنوع ..... فأنت ومالك الدنيا سواء
ومن نزلت بساحته المنايا ..... فلا أرض تقيه ولا سماء
وأرض الله واسعة ولكن ..... إذا نزل القضا ضاق الفضاء
دع الأيام تغدر كل حين ..... فما يغني عن الموت الدواء”
― الامام الشافعى

“It becomes obvious that if we want to make relatively minor changes in our lives, we can perhaps appropriately focus on our attitudes and behaviors. But if we want to make significant, quantum change, we need to work on our basic paradigms.”
