assalamu 3alikom,
Habit Two says " Start with the end in Mind ", you have to know how do u want it to end, and work for it. Mission statement is about ur goal, vision, dream, desires, wat u want to achieve in life.
u have to set it to plan ur life
HERE is a mission builder by Franklin Covey. More than Perfect. i'm speachless bgd.
all wat i can say is, Check that link...What r u waiting 4 !!!!!!!!!!!
P.S : I LOVE "Covey"s

Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood
assalamu 3alikom,
yesterday in the seven habits course that i take, the lecturer was talking about the fifth habit, "Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood". and he said a fact that really made me amazed.
A person's emotional need to be understood is equal to his physical need to BREATHE !!!!!......
i DIDN'T know that !!, when he was saying that sentence i thought he'll say "..... their need to eat !!!".. but Air !!!!, wow, that's Huge!!
Being understood is an ESSENTIAL need!, that's y sm ppl just keep talking and talking, they just want to feel understood...but wat happens that ppl dont listen to each other, every one interrupts the other, and the problem occurs.
understanding that being understood is an essential need for human beings makes u think "who will satisfy ur need". now u wont be talking to any one w 5alas, u'll be seeking ppl who will really understand.
also being aware of that fact, makes u listen and listen and not interrupt ppl, cz they need it as much as they need the air they breathe.
Don't forget to pick those u will listen to, cz u cant just listen to every and any one...also pick those who will listen to u, not every body deserves to understand u :)
yalla,
salaaam

Follow ur Heart
assalamu 3alikom,
i had an idea for somthing. something that i believed in it so much, had intentions behind it & believed that i'll be making a difference and help ppl to make them feel better.
i prayed isti5ara for this thing several times, and i was amazed with the out comes, i felt that there was a HUGE tayseer and that Allah is really supporting me and guiding me to do it.
Today, i went to discuss that with someone , and here is wat happened
Other ppl interfered and we were not even talking about wat i WANT to do, we went thought an ENTIRELY different conversation.. and OH MY GOD !! they made me see the world dark and gloomy, convinced me that no way to do it, and if i want to change and make a difference i have to do this and this and that, asif i'm the president or something!!!!!!!
it ended up like :"it's is a dream, NOWAY to do it".... or maybe sounded like :"well, u can do X Y Z", although i wanted to do A B C :S :S :S
it was really paining, not that i discovered that i wont do it, but the feeling that :"i was praying isti5ara, every thing was just more than perfect, Allah was making things easy, oh Allah, did i understand ur msg wrong, could it be!!! i thought it was quite clear, and i was happy".
i was sad that i felt that i misunderstood, was happy for nthn actually, i donno how can i describe how i felt, i hope u understand.
then i met some one in power by chance, and told him my idea just for no reason, then wat !!!!! he said that i should stick to it, and he will help me, and that he'll get me sponsorship from a very well known organisation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
things went bright again, i felt Al7amdulillaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, i didnt get it wrong, Allah wants me to do it, that was really "tayseer", i would never EVER dream of such a thing, Allah supports me, Allah is with me. Lucky i am!
I should follow my heart and do wat pleases and satisfies me, and believe in wat i want, every story of success was just a dream, who knows, maybe when i die i'll be proud, and i really want that! .......
i decided to keep on & do it no matter wat!!. anyway i'm not seeking grades, i dont fear failure, i just want to do my best, and Allah will do the rest, i shouldnt give up, i should follow my heart!
ان اريد الا الاصلاح ما استطعت وما توفيقي الا بالله عليه توكلت واليه انيب
now i remembered "اعملوا آل داوود شكرا"
THANK U Allah, i LOVE sooo much
Pray for me guys :) .... meet u in ur do3aaa2

و أهلها مصلحون
السلام عليكم
كثيرا ما كان ينتابني شعور بالإحباط أو الاستسلام أو أيا ما كان مسماه عندما أشرع في شيء أرى أن له هدفا ساميا ولا أجد دعما من أحد, بل على العكس تماما, هناك من الناس من لا شغل له إلا "إيقاف المراكب السايرة"
كثيرا ما أسمع :"انتي فاكرة نفسك هتعملي ثورة 23"و "إيه الفايده" و "و مالهاش لازمة" و "انتي فاكرة نفسك هتغيري الدنيا"و "خلاص مفيش أمل" و غيره من المحبطات التي لا تجعلني أعود إلى أرض الواقع, بل و أرتطم بها!!!
ولكني أرى أنه من واجبي تحسين الوضع الذي نحن فيه, ولو بأيسر اليسير و على قدر استطاعتي و بما وهبني الله رب العزة من قدرات, لأن هذا الوضع غير مقبول على الإطلاق و لأن الله جل في علاه يقول:"إن الله لا يغير ما بقوم حتى يغيروا ما بأنفسهم"... و علي على الأقل أن أحاول و أبدأ و ما توفيقي إلا بالله...و دع أذاهم و توكل على الله
و أعود و أرى أني أحلم و احلم, و أستيقظ على ما قلته في البدء, و اعود و أحبط
و لكني اليوم سمعت آية في كتاب الله العزيز, كأني أسمعها لأول مرة و يا سبحان الله, كان وقعها علي كأعجب ما يكون
"
و ما كان الله مهلك القرى بظلم و أهلها مصلحون"
و ما كان الله مهلك القرى بظلم و أهلها مصلحون"
ياااااااااااااااااااااااه..... شوية فصحى كمان!! .. "مصلحون" اسم فاعل , تدل على التجدد و الاستمرار و المتابعة...يعني يمكن أن نفسرها :"و أهلها يصلحون"...لغويا تعطي هذا المعنى
ياااااااه , أيضا "أهلها" ليس سادتها!!!!!.... الشعب , أنا و انت و هي
يا الله, يعني لن نهلك ما دمنا نسعى في إصلاح أمتنا, وصف الله ذلك بالظلم!!!! ياما أنت كريــــــــــــــم يا رب
الآن أشعر بتحسن بالغ و لدي نية جديدة, و كلما شعرت بيأس سأتذكر بإذن الله هذه الأية, عسى أن نكون سببا في حفظ هذه الأمة
الحمد لله الذي هدانا لهذا وما كنا لنهتدي لولا أن هدانا الله ...اللهم لك الحمد حتى ترضى و لك الحمد إذا رضيت و لك الحمد بعد الرضا
و السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Changed in Me...
assalamu 3alikom,
some times i contemplate my self, my personality & how it changed through years i've lived... i found out that ppl around me had the greatest affect in my personality, i can say that All the turning points in my personality where due to sm1.
it were things that they said or did that made me reconsider my life, or change my attitude towards my self & to actually get to know ME!!!
To All of those ppl i say thank u for that role that u played in my life, u tought me, made me change (even if slightly) to the better without u even notice.
i donno if listing those ppl would be a good idea, but i'm listing them anyway! ( past to recent)
1) Mrs. Safaa, arabic teacher-my primary school ...made me feel that i'm really smthin!
2) Mrs.Ra3'da, math teacher -primary school, made me realize that ... i'll keep this for my self.
3)Mrs. Refqa, religion teacher-primary school, made me realize that i'm different & gave me trust
4)Sh. ahmad al kobaisy...he is one of the most ppl i love on this planet, al7amdulillah, he is the one who tought me what does it mean to "Read" Quran, understand it, think of it, & Love Allah.what it means to be a muslim, i owe this man soo much, i do Love him.
5)My cousin Soha, she just said "Noha, i envy u , ppl Love u!!"... for me, that was a SHOCK!!!, Look who is talking!! , this was the first real turning point in my life.
6)Mr. Khalid el 3awwam, ooooh, wat can i say, this man used to make me feel like an angle, he treated me asif i'm the best one in the whole universe!, i can never forget his face when praying for me. He also tought me sooo much things concerning my religion, i owe him much
7)Sh. Mabrouk 3ateyya, he made me see things in a different way, apply Islam in my life by Feeling it & Living it, & that we have hearts that should be tender & soft All the way, we have manners that should stay the best All they way, i do Love him... i miss him too
8)Mrs. zainab, tought me to wait to see the wisdom beyond things that happen, Always seek Allah's satisfaction, & when i run to sm1 for a problem, just search for those who will remind me of Allah...she changed my view 2wards "el rizq", made me understand that things r not as we see, they r much more complicated that we'll never understand
9)Dina, my dear friend, i knew what does it mean to have someone that makes u feel relaxed no matter how annoyed u r, made me realize that friendship doesnt mean to "stick" to ur friends & call them daily... tought me to be -somewhat- realistic ( but i'm not yet, i think this will take time)....& so many many things that i really cant count, i just wish we stay 2gether 4ever.
10)Dr. Ihab, i feel soo much grateful for that person, although he wont even notice that he really affected me, this man -implicitly- gave me hope, tought me to love wat i study, made me have a reason in our "FCIS", i loved the college because of that person.
11)Heba 3saam, wat can i say!!!, i knew that life is not that silly as it seems to be, i knew wat it means to be deeply hurt & suffering yet smiling to make ppl happy, i realized that i'm not the strange one with the values i have, i understood what it means to feel for ppl, do what u believe is right regardless anything else...to Always look at the blessing & not to be down into myself....i think i should stop, cz this wont end if i kept on!!
12) Waleed Galaaal, this was the second Biggest turning point in my life, he made me discover my self, belive in me, look deep down to know, & tought me that every thing in Islam makes the person Really a better person, from All aspects ....& most of All, never give up to change a bad situation. this resulted: TU, TMD, TU2, Cross Roads, and many other events that i did (will do) in clg.
13) Nosayba, i can never ever discribe how great this person is, she always gives me the power to keep on, tells me things that no one would ever say, makes me see things that i would never see, makes me feel better & better when i talk to her, reminds me of Allah & of muslim's manners,... i just cant talk about her like this, cz she has a continouse effect on me that i never want to let go.
14)Roaa, mmmmm, Roaa tought me how to Really Believe in what i belive in...that thoughts dont just cross our minds and pass, we shloud stick to them & turn them into deeds & objectives....she tought me what it means to dedicate myself to others, & never think of any thing in return. Roaa is in deed one of the ppl who made me change my attitude in life.
15)Reda Maged, i Almost Never spoke to him, i dont know him aslan! but i learnt from him so much, i really did, somehow i developed my self, discovered some areas in me that i never tried to discover, mostly related to our study, i also found some interests that i wouldnt even notice that i'm interseted in.
16)Dr. Omar Karam, the Third turning point...he just said, replying on me when i asked him for an advice:"wat do u want me to tell u!!,honestly wat do u want me to tell u...hey, u r in the middle of the way...u went out the box, u saw things out of the box , u can think out of the box, leave advices for those who r still in the Box!".
17) Dr.Ahmad Safwat, putting aside every thing, now i have a new vision, i love wat i do, i realised things differently, i understood that i should have decisions loooong time ago, i knew that things r just simple but i had to try..... i have hope, i'm thinking positively, i have a goal!!!
18)Alaa Shaker, i saw what it means to be good & KNOW that u r good...trust ur self & ur abilities, think widely & know wat u can do & wat u cant do!
19)Abdelra7man 3esam, i learnt from him how to be missy in an organised way, to learn from ppl who are arround u & never think that i'm late.... to belive that i can follow...to love wat i do....i also found out that i'm interseted in the Body Language thing!
20) Dr. Mahmoud Hosam, he Reminded me to love my pen & paper, to love my book, have with them this relationship of belonging & friendship, also to be effictive, study hard, & to be a good model & to Always remember that "actions speek louder than words".
Top of that list comes My father, he cant be just added to the list, i think he needs a post only for him.
those were the ppl who made me reconsider, i listed them in an ascending order of their apperence in my life.
Most of them Dont even realize wat they did, as i mentioned b4...well, i like that! i dont want them to know anyway, but i just want to say that i really appreciate All of them & wish that ALLAH Bless them & make them lead a happy life & make their wish come true..
Tu All of u ...Jazakom Allahu 3anny 5ayral jazaa2.
