Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”
– Steve Jobs, Commencement speech at Stanford University, 2005

Your Echo Depends on You
April 30, 2013Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
“This world is like a mountain. Your echo depends on you. If you scream good things, the world will give it back. If you scream bad things, the world will give it back. Even if someone speaks badly of you, speak well of him. Change your heart to change the world.”
– Shams i Tabriz
Ya Haqq!
