#Day 19: Be Aware Of Yourself!
November 28, 2022 22:06 - 16 seconds - 395 KB"The outer world is a reflection of the inner world. Other people’s perception of you is a reflection of them; your response to them is an awareness of you." — Roy T. Bennett (The Light in the Heart) Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3gr77Od
#Day 18: Listen With Curiosity!
November 27, 2022 21:34 - 28 seconds - 677 KB"Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what’s behind the words." — Roy T. Bennett (The Light in the Heart) Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3gr77Od
# Day 17: Choose Your People!
November 26, 2022 22:34 - 28 seconds - 667 KB"Even if you cannot change all the people around you, you can change the people you choose to be around. Life is too short to waste your time on people who don’t respect, appreciate, and value you. Spend your life with people who make you smile, laugh, and feel loved." — Roy T. Bennett (The Light in The Heart). Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3gr77Od
# Day 16: Watch Your Behaviors!
November 25, 2022 21:53 - 46 seconds - 1.07 MB"The more one laughs, the less dignity will he possess. Whoever jokes (excessively or indecently) is a person who will be taken lightly. Whoever does something frequently will become known by that thing. Whoever speaks often, errs often; the more often one errs, the less modesty will he possess; whoever has a low level of modesty will also have a low level of piety; and when one has a low level of piety, then his heart dies." Umar Ibn Al Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him).
# Day 15: Discover Your Identity!
November 24, 2022 21:50 - 49 seconds - 1.13 MB"Don't let the expectations and opinions of other people affect your decisions. It's your life, not theirs. Do what matters most to you; do what makes you feel alive and happy. Don't let the expectations and ideas of others limit who you are. If you let others tell you who you are, you are living their reality — not yours. There is more to life than pleasing people. There is much more to life than following others' prescribed path. There is so much more to life than what you experience right...
# Day 14: True Connection
November 24, 2022 21:33 - 25 seconds - 610 KB"You can talk with someone for years, every day, and still, it won't mean as much as what you can have when you sit in front of someone, not saying a word, yet you feel that person with your heart, you feel like you have known the person for forever.... connections are made with the heart, not the tongue." — C. JoyBell C. Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3gr77Od
# Day 13: Never ever give up!
November 22, 2022 22:58 - 25 seconds - 609 KB“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed.

#Day 12: Friendship
November 21, 2022 22:17 - 20 seconds - 477 KB“Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.” —Muhammad Ali
#Day 11: Always Hate What's Wrong!
November 20, 2022 22:01 - 26 seconds - 616 KB“Always hate what is wrong, but don’t hate the one who errors. Hate sin with all your heart, but forgive and have mercy on the sinner. Criticize speech, but respect the speaker. Our job is to wipe out disease, not the patient.” – Imam Shafi Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3gr77Od
#Day 10: Sometimes Pain Is Good!
November 19, 2022 22:04 - 1 minute - 1.4 MBSometimes, we don’t see the reality of things around us. We just want them, we desire them. The fact of the matter is that we are so blinded emotionally that we can’t see the true colors of the people or the things that we think they’re the best for us. Let me put it to you this way, when the baby sees how the flame of a candle is sparkling and bright, then tries to come closer and closer and touch it. After feeling the heat of that flame and how painful it is, the same baby that had that ur...
#Day 9: The Ocean!
November 18, 2022 21:26 - 1 minute - 1.77 MB"The ocean is so breathtakingly beautiful. But just as it is beautiful, it is also deadly. The same spellbinding waves, which we appreciate from the shore, can kill us if we enter them. Water, the same substance necessary to sustain life, can end life, in drowning. And the same ocean that holds ships afloat can shatter those ships to pieces. This worldly life, the Dunya, is just like the ocean. And our hearts are the ships. We can use the ocean for our needs and as a means to get to our fin...
# Day 8: You're Not Responsible For This!
November 17, 2022 21:36 - 1 minute - 1.55 MBHow many times has someone yelled at you or was in a bad mood, and took it out on you. How did it make you feel? Probably hurt, and left wondering what did I do to deserve this? Many of us take things personally. I know I did, and it took many years to realize that it was not me who had the issue, it was them!! We need to remind ourselves, “That we are not responsible for other people’s behaviors, feelings or emotions. “ So the next time someone yells at you or comes home in a bad mood, and t...
# Day 7: Is It A Skill Or Quality To Connect?!
November 16, 2022 21:58 - 3 minutes - 5.14 MBLanguage, Understanding, is it a skill or quality to connect? What's the benefit, and what purpose it serves between two people? Let's see first what the definition of understanding a language is. It is a psychological process of acknowledging the concepts of an abstract or a physical object. Intelligent behavior is utilizing abilities and dispositions concerning communicating objects. However, it is only sometimes the case of knowing the concepts but the theories behind them. It depends on t...
#Day 6: Feel Disconnected?!
November 15, 2022 22:03 - 36 seconds - 859 KBHave you ever spent days, months or even more trying to explain yourself to someone?! You’re not the only one. Some people have wasted years thinking that having the same language would get them fully to understand each other. Believe it or not, it is the same spirit language that makes you truly and deeply understand. And without it, you will end up wasting your lifetime explaining yourself in vain. Written by: Khadija Bayoumi Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3gr77Od
#Day 5: Inhuman Humans
November 14, 2022 22:44 - 27 seconds - 647 KBSome people are alive, yet they’re dead. They have hearts like rocks or even more solid than rocks because sometimes water comes out of mountains and rocks. This type of people deserves no attention whatsoever of yours. I once heard someone say, “Don’t waste your words on people who don’t even deserve your silence”. Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3gr77Od
# Day 4: Go The Extra Mile!
November 13, 2022 22:09 - 28 seconds - 663 KBYou can’t be satisfied with mediocrity. Always push yourself to the best of your ability. If you do what your colleagues or your classmates do and you wait to be recognized so you’re dreaming. There’s no recognition in doing the average. Always go the extra mile and excel in what you do. Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3gr77Od
#Day 3: So Called-Friends!
November 12, 2022 19:11 - 32 seconds - 758 KBSpeaking of friends, not everyone is your friend. Not because you laugh together, you hang out together, you share some moments together. All of this does not mean you are friends. People try to be nice with each other after all, don’t they?! Only hardships expose the true colors of so-called friends. Just pay attention when the time comes, and you’ll be able to tell apart the real ones from the fake ones. Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3gr77Od
#Day 2: Cherry Pick Your Friends!
November 11, 2022 19:53 - 35 seconds - 828 KBWhat makes you happy isn’t materialism. What makes you really happy is people you have in your life, who truly care about you, appreciate you, correct you when you’re wrong for your own good and not because they want to show others how wrong you are or something else. They guide you when you’re lost. These are the true companions that you should look for in your life. These are the family. Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3gr77Od
#Day 1: Time Is Ticking Away!
November 10, 2022 08:46 - 45 seconds - 1.04 MBDays pass by and don’t wait for anyone no matter how much time you really need, you’ll never be able to increase the number of hours that you have in a day. You only have 24 hours. The question is “How many hours do I actually use to achieve my goals, to improve my skills, to get better in my business?” We already waste a lot of time dear friends, so isn’t it the time to change and start prioritizing some stuff here and there? Hope the best for you! But hope without actions is just a word. D...

Never Study English!
December 08, 2021 17:24 - 9 minutes - 12.5 MBYes! I mean it! The trap that most English learners fall into over and over again is focusing too much on studying the language and totally ignoring the importance of speaking and practicing what they learn. Any language in this world is meant to be spoken, so If you really want to speak English, you should live English! Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3gr77Od
