WHEN SOMEONE DISRESPECT YOU

 WHEN SOME ONE DISRESPECT YOU...

WHEN SOMEONE DISRESPECT YOU, YOUR REAL INSTINCT IS

TO REACT,TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF,TO DEFEND YOUR WIRTH

BUT WITH YOUR REACTION YOU SACRIFICE YOUR CLARITY, 

YOUR CALM. A STOIC NEVER LET DISRESPECT PULL THEM

OUT OF CHARACTER BECAUSE REAL POWER IS NEVER LOUD

IT'S CONTROLLED.

FOUR RULES ONE MUST FOLLOW WHEN SOME ONE DISRESPECT YOU.

1: DON'T ARGUE FOR VALIDATION. THEIR OPINION DOES NOT

DEFINE YOUR VALUE, YOUR SELF DISCIPLINE DOES, YOUR SELF

CONTROL DOES.

2: DON'T MIRROR THEIR BEHAVIOR. YOU SACRIFICE YOUR CLARITY

YOUR CALM.

3:DON'T LET EGO SPEAK FOR YOU. IF PRIDE WANTS REVENGE,

YOUR WISDOM WANTS DISTANCE

4: DON'T WASTE YOUR ENERGY TO PROVE YOUR WORTH

YOUR VALUE, YOUR SELF DISIPLIN ,YOUR SELF CONTROL DOES

5: TRUE STRENGTH STAYS CALM AAND THE MOST POWERFUL RESPONSE

IS CHOOSING NOT TO REACT

FIVE HARSH TRUTHS OF LIFE

 FIVE HARSH TRUTHS OF LIFE

LIFE WILL HUMBLE YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN- UNTILL YOU UNDERSTAND IT'S RULES

1: STAY CALM

NOTHING IS PERMANENT. NOT JOY, NOT PAIN, NOT PEOPLE.

EVERYTHING CHANGES.

2: BE PRIVATE

NOT EVERYONE WANT THE BEST OF YOU. PROTECT YOUR PLANS

UNTILL THEY BECOME REALITY

3: VALUE YOUR TIME. IT NEVER COMES BACK. WHAT YOU WASTE TODAY

BECOMES TOMORROW'S REGRET.

4: HIDE YOUR SADNESS

NO ONE TRUELY CARES. THE WORLD RESPECTS STRENGTH

NOT COMPLAINTS

5: BE ALONE:

NOT EVERYONE WILL STAY FOR EVER AND SOLITUDE

TEACHES WHAT COMPANY CAN NOT

6: ACCEPTANCE

ACCEPTANCE IS NOT WEAKNESS. IT'S WISDOM. WHEN YOU STOP 

RESISTING THE TRUTH-LIFE STOP HURTING SO MUCH.

LIFE

 LIFE

Life is very cruel

Or we are very cruel towards life

We all know it's one life

And rather a very short one

But we behave as if it's our enemy

And we treat it horribly

We behave as it's not our life

It is not our life which is cruel

It's our own cruelty which soaks it

Into an unblessed and miserable state

Be a lover to your life...

Not even a good friend

But a lover...

A sweet heart of a lover...

Remember that!

From now on-remember

Don't always be a moaner

You have a lover now

A great lover...

A gift of god

Treat it well with care

And attention

Be thankful.

God blessed you with a hell of a lot.

Remember that...

'THE ONLY WORDS"

 "THE ONLY WORDS"

The only words

We say to a thing,

When we desire it,

Is that we say to it

Be,

And it is.

Oh! Gaza, you made me a writer

Just the pain and suffering of so many children of Gaza

Made me a writer

Now I am a writer

I was children'riter.s doctor before

Oh! so many, so many children

So many children of Gaza

So many children...
