Peace on Earth. No to Violence. Freedom of Expression.
Preserve our planet. Protect life and dignity of all humans.
Dr. Iyad Abu-Jeib's Opinions
My voice is the voice of that person who refuses to say yes to failure and refuses to say welcome to the dark side of life.
In order to achieve my positive goals, always I have adopted (and still) the following rules.
Life is a combination of chances/opportunities, choices and decisions with luck playing a role somewhere. Although you don't have full control of the chances, opportunities and choices, but your actions may play a role in them. On the other hand, the decions are totally yours.
Arm yourself with patience, courage, motivation, positive attitude, determination, and have confidence in yourself.
Be optimistic and keep the hope always alive.
Never give up and keep trying because the other alternate is a disaster and will have much worse consequences.
Be a positive constructive element in the society and try to leave a positive impact on other people's lives.
Be a true human being.
Believe in yourself and believe that the human power is great.
The past is history and so if you missed something in the past, do your best for the future, because you cannot change the past, but you can change the future.
In many cases you can substitute what you are missing (for example, if you are not as smart as those who usually get an "A" in their classes, then you can substitute that by studying more).
Believe that your positive goals are reachable and work hard to reach them.
When you encounter a problem, do not think that your problem is the biggest in the world, because there are many people struggling against bigger problems and there have been people facing much bigger problems, and they have resisted them and finally won and made them history.
The power which you have today, you may not have tomorrow, so take advantage of it before it goes away. And so do not save today's work for tomorrow.
When you need an advice, do not hesitate to ask for it, but from the right source, because asking for advice is not a shame, the shame is allowing yourself to walk on the wrong track.
Do what you are supposed to do and do it right. If you do not succeed (highly unlikely), then do not start blaming yourself because you have done your best.
Learn from your mistakes and try not to repeat them.
Never underestimate the intelligence of other people or base your opinion about them on their appearance.
When you can help (for positive things), do not hesitate.
To reach a small goal, work on reaching a bigger one. In this case, probably you will reach at least the small one.
When you do not succeed, ask yourself: did I do what I was supposed to do? If the answer is no, then do not start blaming other people and do not blame yourself also. Instead, you should learn from what happened and focus on the future.
Always keep in mind: sometimes life seems to be very dark and the sky is full of clouds, then suddenly it is sunny again and many wide doors are open in front of you.
Almost there is nothing impossible, but there are difficult things. How difficult these things are? Well, this depends on how much efforts you have spent. For example, if you are taking a class, then as you spend more efforts (in the right way) on this class, as it becomes easier and easier.
The real beauty is not the beauty for the eye, it is the beauty of the heart.
Always base your actions on the fact that you don't live alone in this world. There are people who are watching you, there are people who need you, there are people who you might hurt by your actions, and there are people you can help.
If you are a "never-satisfied" person, then you will never feel happy.
Before following the steps of a happy person, remember that the definition of happiness may differ between you and that person, because you may be looking for a different kind of happiness.
If you allow yourself today to do something a little bit bad, then you will allow yourself tomorrow to do something worse. So, don't do the little bad thing.
Have a clean heart and an open mind.
Do not make money your religion, because money alone will not bring you happiness.
You can always start from nothing or just a little thing and achieve a lot. You have enough tools to build your bright future, but the core issue is: how to use these tools in the right way.
When a person does you a favor, do that person a bigger favor.
You cannot bring happiness to yourself by stealing it from someone who deserves it. The true happiness is the happiness of the good human being, not the happiness of the bad human being.
Always be willing to forgive, because every person makes mistakes including you, and if you want people to forgive you when you make some mistakes, then you must forgive people for some of their mistakes.
Always believe that you can leave an impact on this life; you can make a difference; you can make a lot of change. But, this must be for the good not for the bad, because if you decide to be on the wrong side of humanity, then your name will be recorded on the dark pole of history and you will be classified as an evil entity which was created in the shape of a human.
Sometimes when you feel life is going in the opposite direction, it might be the case that you are the one who is going in the opposite direction not life.
When you do something wrong, do not feel ashamed to apologize, because admitting mistakes and apologizing for them is a sign of strength not weakness.
When you reach a crossroads in which there are many positive options, and then you make your decision and decide on going with one of them, never look backward and say: may be it was better for me to take that option instead of the one I have taken.
When you do all of the above, you'll be in a similar situation to this
