Eighty percent of success comes

from being clear on who you are, what you believe in and what you want.

: You can't climb to the next

rung on the ladder until you are excellent at what you do now.

Eighty percent of all

obstacles to success come from within. Find out what is constraining in you or your company and deal with it.

The ability to focus on one

thing single-mindedly and see it through until it's done takes more character than anything else.

Flood your life with ideas from

many sources. Creativity needs to be exercised like a muscle; if you don't use it you'll lose it.

Most in demand and least in

supply, courage is the willingness to do the things you know are right.

Read, at the very

least, one book a week on business to keep you miles ahead of the competition. And just as you eat and bathe, organize your time so you spend 30 minutes a day exploring email, sending messages, going through websites, because like exercise, it's the only way you can keep on top of technology. If you get away from it, you'll lose your edge.

Tips for Success

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal. A serious note about heart attacks - You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep.

ek almiya jis se darjano sawal ubharte hen.

Aboy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection ofmarbles. The girl had some sweets with her. The boy told the girl thathe will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girlagreed.

The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gavethe rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she hadpromised. That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn't sleep ashe kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the wayhe had hidden his best marble.

Reflection:This simple story gives us a simple lesson that he who does evil expects evil. This lesson applies to all stages/domains of life may it be professional for familial. If you don't give your hundred percent in a relationship, you'll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent.. Give your hundred percent to everything you do and get peace of mind.

Lesson from small story

PART-XXIGheyas Hashmi, Jeddah (hgheyas@albatool.com.sa)

… Continued from Mar 2013In previous issue we have discussed the three mediations of our prophet (S) for his nation who are in Hell Fire for their bad deeds. Hazrat Hassan Basari (R) has described a part of this Hadith saying that the prophet (S) will appear in front of Allah in the same gesture. Allah almighty will say O Muhammad, lift up your head and speak, for you will be listened to, and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted, and ask (for anything) for it will be granted:’ Then he will ask His permission of mediation for all those who did say ” La ElahaIllallah”. Allah will say by His Glory, Respect, Pride and Greatness, He will certainly take all those who said “La ElahaIllallah” out of the Hell Fire.

When prophets and righteous people have finished their mediations Allah Almighty will say that His generosity and benevolence are remained to come. So, the angels with His permission will take a handful people from Hell fire by recognizing them through the sign of Prostration that the Fire cannot burn. They will be put at the Hyatt River that crosses to the side of the gate of Jannah. They will grow on the both sides of the river like pears. Then, they will be entered to the Jannah. From this narration it is understood that the last group of people will also be Nemazi (performers of prayers) but due to some other sin they will be in Hell Fire. What about those who are ignorant of obligatory prayers?

Although the punishment of believers in Hell Fire will be a blessing, as they will not get it similar to non-believer who will not die there nor live, a moment halt in Hell Fire is most disastrous. Allah Almighty says: Lo! It is wretched as abode and as station (Al-Furqan/66). The Hell Fire has been made for Non-Muslim. It is not for Muslim at all. If they go there it is very unfortunate. Allah Almighty says in SuraAalEmran, “And ward off (from yourselves) the Fire prepared for disbelievers” (131). The criterions for getting Jannah were given in next verse 132 “And obey Allah and the messenger, that ye may find mercy.” It is further said in next verse 133: “And vie one with another for forgiveness from your Lord, and for a paradise as wide as are the heavens and the earth, prepared for those who ward off (evil)”.

Some believers will have bad and good deeds in equal quantity, i.e. 50% each. So, they will be at the borders of Hell and Paradise. They will be in conversation with people of Paradise and Hell. They will say “Salam” to the People of Paradise and “Shame” to the People of Hell. They will be later entered to the Paradise with the blessing of Allah Almighty. Evil is evil. We should always try to have good deeds. Quran says: Say, The bad and the good are not equal, though the abundance of the bad may please you; so be careful of (your duty to) Allah, O men of understanding, that you may be successful.

Paradise will be permanent abode for Muslims and Hell will be everlasting dwelling for non-Muslim. Life style will be completely different from this world. Lives at both places will be beyond imagination whether it is in terms of N’ma (blessing) as Paradise or A’zab (chastisement) as Fire.

In next issues we will discuss in brief about Paradise, which was made for Muttaqeen (Allah-fearing) only.

These undoubtedly rare success stories in India’s Muslim community make one wonder how much socioeconomic development can take place in the community if many more maulanas and dargahs dedicate themselves to the cause of imparting quality modern education and competitive ability to the Muslim youth and include the well educated Muslims in their team. Instead of spending so much time and energy on political and publicity activities if we spend more of it on the development of our youth, we can change the community’s picture drastically in just one generation.

Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh): Hunger is man's biggest enemy. Helplessness comes a close second. Ask Naazra Khatoon, who watched a 14-year-old daughter and a three-year-old son die allegedly of starvation. Extremely poor, she could do little to save them and now worries for her three surviving children. This family in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, depends completely on the benevolence of neighbours for survival since Naazra's husband, who was the only breadwinner, died 10 months ago. "After my husband's death, it is difficult to sustain. The children of course crave out of hunger. People from the locality willingly donate and try to help us. We don't want to say anything to anyone," says a hapless Naazra Khatoon.

If I remember correctly two months back I wrote a piece in Bakhabar on wastage of food and the duty of Muslims in this regard. On 5th June every year the United Nations celebrates the World Environment Day. For each year a theme is selected to raise awareness world over on some important issue related to environment. You will be pleased to know that this year's theme is on Food Wastage. The exact theme is "Think.Eat.Save." Think.Eat.Save is an anti-food waste and food loss campaign that encourages all to reduce our "foodprint". According to the FAO, every year 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted. This is equivalent to the same amount produced in the whole of sub-Saharan Africa. At the same time, 1 in every 7 people in the world go to bed hungry and more than 20,000 children under the age of 5 die daily from hunger and malnutrition. Given this enormous imbalance, this year’s theme – Think.Eat.Save – encourages us to become more aware of the environmental impact of the food choices we make and empowers us to make informed decisions. Muslims have to be doubly cautious in this regard as Allah and the Prophet (SAW) have again and again warned about wastage of all kinds of resources and food is certainly very important in this regard. We need to understand the pain of those who are unable to get adequate food and nutrition. The food saved can feed those who are deprived of that.

Dashrath Manjhi 1934[1] - August 17, 2007[2]) was born into a poor labourer family in Gahlour village near Gaya inBihar, India.[1] He is also known as Mountain Man.[3][4] Dashrath Manjhi's wife, Falguni Devi, died due to lack of medical treatment because the nearest town with a doctor was 70 kilometres (43 mi) away from their village in Bihar, India.Dashrath did not want anyone else to suffer the same fate as his wife, so he carved a 360-foot-long (110 m) through-cut, 25-foot-deep (7.6 m) in places and 30-foot-wide (9.1 m) to form a road[5] through a mountain in the Gehlour hills, working day and night for 22 years from 1960 to 1982. His feat reduced the distance between the Atri and Wazirganj blocks of the Gaya district from 55 km to 15 km, bringing him national acclaim.[2][6][7].He died on August 17, 2007.[8] He was given a state funeral by the Government of Bihar.[8][9]

18Bakhabar

Prejudice at its extreme.This prejudice this discrimination is the New Apartheid of the New World Order. It is a crime to call a black, a black or nigger but you can say anything about the Muslim. Subtle and blatant maligning of Islam remains unabated on the media. Peter T King of New York, the Republican chairman of the House Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, called for an increased surveillance of Islamic communities in the US; more police, more surveillance as the threat is from within. There are numerous such examples of Muslimpartheid and hate crimes. Sadly the Muslim World as a whole doesn’t speak against this atrocity. You won’t find M 8 to take care of our concerns. Fighting against Muslimpartheid is a lonely battle. Contrast this with the banning for life of the Greek footballer Giorgis Katidis for doing a Nazi /Hitler style salute to celebrate his winning goal.Stoking fears about minority communities especially the Muslims is good for sales, the media men know this well.The nonstop filthy campaign against Islam on social and mainstream media is akin to putting the Muslims everywhere in those very Pressure Cookers as were said to be used by Tsarnaevs. The radicalization of the Muslim youth is the hot topic. It is quite revealing a story about the eldest brother Tamerlane Tsarnaev, 23 who had won two consecutive titles as the Golden Gloves heavy weight boxing champion of New England in 2010 but was barred from the national tournament championship as he was not a US citizen. The rules had changed only that year, shattering all his dreams of representing America and from then onwards he took to the dark road of fanaticism. Until then he was said to be a normal guy who loved partying, playing piano and violin and had an email id like , The_professor@real-hiphop.com How Do Muslims Deal With Fanaticism:That fanaticism is censured by the Muslims is evident from the fact that Tamerlan Tsarnaev , was driven out of a Boston mosque by his own people for foolishly objecting to the Imam’s call for emulating Martin Luther King Junior. This alone shows that Boston Muslims were alert to the extremist tendencies in the community. One must admire Imam Suhaib Webb , the Boston revert cleric for his exemplary role after the tragedy. I too am witness to an event where the local cleric denounced the working women to hell and for driving bikes; the speaker was rightly taken to task, by those present. I am witness to another out of the ordinary instance of fanaticism when in a program, an Islamic televangelist reprimanded the children for, hold your breaths, Clapping! Clapping is haram he said ; not practiced by the Salaf and now the kids had a real hard time. As they were used to putting their little hands together to commit the haram act of applauding the moment a child received a prize. It led to a funny situation where the bewildered kids clapped and giggled together. Last month in a Gulf city, in a religious congregation, some of the audience staged a dramatic walk out when a famous Islamic speaker talked about Imam Ghazali, the eminent Islamic philosopher. This I believe is an extreme reaction to a simple problem. That’s why these days I say a little prayer before clicking on anything related to films on my Face book wall as recently I was attacked by my, ‘FB sisters’ for clicking, like on an interview of film actor Farooque Shaikh. I was into a major sin, they said. From asking you to never wish your Non Muslim friends a Happy Deepawali or a Merry Christmas to condemning Ghalib for being an un-Islamic poet, the list may be long. This is our own internal Pressure Cooker and mind it, we are keeping a tab on it, trying our best. But is the Media Pressure Cooker ever going to give us, a happy whistle of relief? Till then, I am watching Simpsons.

The use of the words ‘couch patato’ by a Senior Journalist, especially in the context was interesting. I have myself been wondering at the futility of all things. Social communication of which a major part is journalism, is under existential threat. As a non-journalist it is easy for me to deride at any attempt to communicate (haven’t earned a penny from writing). Yet now and then I come round to disgorging myself in the public square at the risk of facing the derision of the spectators (In the age of spectacle, I am loath to call anyone a reader).

The irrelevance of the written word has many aspects. One aspect is that written word needs to be seen now, which is one degree above ‘the need to be heard’. The age of television has consumed the age of radio as also the age of print - however sleek the printing. On top of that ‘body language’ commands excessive superiority over mere language, if you can just think of the hits Sunny Leone can receive on her --- portal. I swear even hundred noble laureates will lose the battle against her simultaneously.

In such a stark scenario when I happened to see the TV channel, Russia Today, my faith was redeemed a bit and I felt that the foothold of truth was still possible in the affairs of mankind. When you hear the presentations on Russia Today you do get a feeling that the writer, as the creator of word, is not far behind. It is still possible to switch off ‘bhaand TV’ to hear a few words of truth. While watching TV, I always felt like a couch potato until after hearing Russia Today, I decided to postpone my move to sell the gold coins I was having. Like a typical couch patato, I did not move to my bank locker to take out my gold coins to rush to sell to the nearest ‘baniya’. If a sizable number of couch potatoes did exactly what I did, that is kept sitting, then we have jointly subverted the conspiracy of the western banks to steal our confidence from gold to ‘hawa-hawai’. Think of the counter-power of social communication! Coming to think of it, most of the impoverishment schemes in the world have been created by the ‘rush episodes’ organised by mass communication – in which the freedom to choose is availed freely by the ‘lootee’ (as against the looter). And by the way, why should a looter stop a lootee from hanging himself ? The real question is which side of the fence you are? Looter or lootee?

second). I know Leander Paes won an Olympic medal for tennis. But then, Olympics are not the seminal events in tennis. By the way, a trivia question – are there any male Indian athletes who won individual Olympic medals? The answer: Norman Pritchard, an Anglo-Indian, who won it for 200 m running and 200 m hurdles in the year 1900 in Athens, when the games were not even called the Olympics.

The first Indian woman IPS officer who has always transformed her adversities into opportunities. Even her 'punishment' tenure as the superintendent of the notorious Tihar Jail in Delhi, with over 9000 hard core prisoners (now over 8999 inmates, after the daring escape of Rana, the Phoolan Devi murderer last week), turned out to be a remarkable experience where she tried to reform the prisoners by conducting yoga classes and other humanistic activities. A supercop, a reformer, youth Asian tennis champion, a public speaker, environmentalist and now she even acted in a short documentary film as well (as a rag picker). Of course, in Hindi movies, we have had boatloads of actresses doing a Kiran Bedi!

He is probably a veritable national treasure in our cricket-crazed country. He is so prolific he is supposed to score a century every third time he bats. He is the only Indian to have scored a century on debut in the Ranji, Duleep and Irani trophy games. Says Ravi Shastri, the ex-skipper of India, of Sachin, “He is someone sent from up there to play cricket.” He has never been dropped from the Indian team and considering he has just recently won the Man of the Series award for the latest World Cup, he is in no danger of being unemployed for a while.

This ex-Berkeley graduate and IIT Kanpur professor gave it all up one day and co-founded ASHA, one of the most successful social and educational NGO efforts in India. ASHA has over a thousand volunteers and has chapters in many other countries.

If both the Hindu and Muslim extremists issue fatwas against her, she must be doing something good! This actress-turned-social activist has taken on such causes as the plight of Mumbai slum-dwellers and national integration. Probably the best actress of India, ever, (especially after the premature death of Smita Patil) she was never afraid to take on unorthodox movie roles, right from a whorehouse madam to a lesbian. “Gracious, fearless, intelligent and a beautiful person” is how someone describes her.

It has been said that everlasting friends go long periods of time without speaking and never question their friendship. These friends pick up phones like they just spoke yesterday, regardless of how long it has been or how far away they live, and they do not hold grudges. They understand that life is busy and you will always love them.- Anon

The truth is that you can spend your life any way you want, but you can spend it only once.- John C. Maxwell
