One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to
the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor
people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be
considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son,
"How was the trip?" "It was great Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.
"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they
have a creek that has no end.
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are."
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what
would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead
of worrying about what we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your
friends!

A high school teacher was giving a true/false test. He was strolling up and down the aisles surveying the students at work. He came upon one student who was flipping a coin, then writing.
Teacher: What are you doing?
Student: Getting the answers to the test.
The teacher shook his head and walked on. A little while later, when everyone was finished with the test, the teacher noticed the student was again flipping the coin.
Teacher: Now what are you doing?
Student: I'm checking the answers!!

Media; rightly blamed but finally help democracy prevalence
Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen!
Thanks a lot for the chance given to me in this worth full conference.
In this article, I am going to introduce two important ideas: the first one is “the relation between the real roles of media with the prevalence of democracy”, and the second is “the unbalanced criticism and blames of the Moslem societies against the national and international media with the amount of their media initiatives.”

One night there was a woman at the airport who had to wait for several hours before catching her next flight. While she waited she bought a book and a pack of biscuits to spend the time.
She looked for a place to sit and waited.
She was deep into her book, when suddenly she realized that there was a young man sitting next to her who was stretching his hand, with no concern whatsoever, and grabbing the pack of cookies lying between them. He started to eat them one by one.
Not wanting to make a fuss about it she decided to ignore him. The woman, slightly bothered, ate the cookies and watched the clock, while the young and shameless thief of biscuits was also finishing them.
The woman started to get really angry at this point and thought, "If I wasn't such a good and educated person, I would have given this daring man a black eye by now."
Every time she ate a biscuit, he had one too.
The dialogue between their eyes continued and when only one biscuit was left, she wondered what he was going to do.
Softly and with a nervous smile, the young man grabbed the last biscuit and broke it in two. He offered one half to the woman while he ate the other half.
Briskly she took the biscuit and thought, "What an insolent man! How uneducated! He didn't even thank me!"
She had never met anybody so fresh and sighed relieved to hear her flight announced.
She grabbed her bags and went towards the boarding gate refusing to look back to where that insolent thief was seated.
After boarding the plane and nicely seated, she looked for her book which was nearly finished by now.
While looking into her bag she was totally surprised to find her pack of biscuits nearly intact. "If my biscuits are here," she thought feeling terribly, "those others were his and he tried to share them with me."
Too late to apologize to the young man, she realized with pain, that it was her who had been insolent, uneducated and a thief, and not him.
How many times in our lives, had we known with certainty that something happened in a certain way, only to discover later that it wasn't true?
How many times has our lack of trust within us made us judge other people unfairly with our conceited ideas, often far away from reality.
THAT IS WHY WE HAVE TO THINK TWICE
BEFORE WE JUDGE OTHERS
Read Carefully:
Happy moments, praise God.
Every moment, thank God.
1. God won't ask what kind of car you drove;
He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation.
2. God won't ask the square footage of your house,
He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.
3. God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet, 
He'll ask how many you helped to clothe.
He'll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.
5. God won't ask what your job title was,
He'll ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.
He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.ly
7. God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived,
He'll ask how you treated your neighbors.
8. God won't ask about the color of your skin,
He'll ask about the content of your character.
9. God won't ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation,
He'll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven, and not to the gates of Hell.
10. God won't ask how many people you forwarded this to,
He'll ask if you were ashamed to pass it on to your friends.
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
This contains that which has been willed by Husain bin Ali bin Abi Talib to his brother Mohammad renowned as Ibne Hanafiyah. Verily Husain bears witness that there is no Lord except Allah Alone. And bears witness that Mohammad (s.a.w.s.) is the Slave and the Messenger of Allah, who has been righteously chosen by Him. And that

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.
Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him
a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, How much do I owe you?"
You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."
He said..... "Then I thank you from my heart."
As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.
Many years' later that same young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease.
Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes.
Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once.
He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to her case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won.
Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all.
Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words.....
"Paid in full with one glass of milk"
(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.
Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You, God, that Your love has spread broad through human hearts and hands."
There's a saying which goes something like this: Bread cast on the waters comes back to you. The good deed you do today may benefit you or someone you love at the least expected time. If you never see the deed again at least you will have made the world a better place
- And, after all, isn't that what life is all about?
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you
Sometimes I need some time...on my own
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November!

The Teacher was explaining evolution to the children.
The Teacher asked a student:
TEACHER: Tommy do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.
TOMMY: Yes, I see the sky.
TEACHER: Did you see GOD?
TOMMY: No.
TEACHER: That's my point.
We can't see GOD because HE isn't there. HE just doesn't exist.
A 6 year old girl was sitting in a classroom.
and asked the teacher's permission to ask Tommy some questions.
The Teacher agreed.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the Teacher?
TOMMY: Yes
LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?
TOMMY: No
LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we were taught today, if you don't
see it means it does not exist, then she doesn't have one.
I asked God to take away my pride.God said "No".
It is not for me to take it away, But for you to give it up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.God said "No."Her spirit was whole,her body was only temporary. I asked God to grant me patience.God said "No."Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;it isn't granted,it is earned. I asked God to give me happiness.God said "No."I give you blessings,happiness is up to you. I asked God to spare me pain.God said "No."Suffering draws you apart from worldly caresand brings you closer to Me. I asked God to make my spirit grow.God said "No."You must grow on your own,but I will prune you to make you fruitful. I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.God said "No."I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things. I ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.God said... Ahhhh, finally you have the idea!
