My gran told me to print this for her so that she could read it easily whenever she wanted. I found it quite interesting and thought I’d share it with all you’s out there. It’s really very nice and I am about to print out a copy for myself too to stick up on my wall.. Enjoy!
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly and listen to others, even the dill and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as you plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress with imaginings. Many years are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.
I always wished to be an rj – radio jockey. When I heard and saw how it all worked I desperately wished I could do that kind of stuff one day. Well, that day is here. I’ve been offered a place in a radio station - I can do my own show. And an Islamic one! It’s so exciting I can hardly wait – only I need my dad’s consent. I hope he agrees. It would be so good to go out there and say what I want. I don’t know how many listeners there’ll be but its still so cool! Right?!
It’s hard when you don’t know where you’re going in life. Everything is perfect but… it’s just weird. You feel.. empty. Useless. You don’t know where you’re going. What your goal is. What’s ahead of you. What you need to do. I hate that feeling and I’ve been having it lately.
I got the perfect course – my favourite subject, love my class, teachers are excellent, college in a situable place – right by my house. But… I don’t know. It’s a bit easy and I don’t know what I’ll get after doing this course. And then my father tells me to do medical and become a doctor.. I don’t know what to do. Should I go towards that goal? Or should stick to what I’m doing now?
I know – I should have paradise as my ultimate goal. Maybe it would be easier for me, right? I wouldn’t feel so lost. And it’s easy… all you have to do is please Allah. But the more worldy things you get, the more far away you get from your Lord. It’s so bad that we remember Him in bad times but forget Him as soon as things get good. So.. what do you say?
Hey people,
It’s been a while since I’ve updated. Just had a tough year; moved across the world to my birth place. Started my education again. Settled in. Exams. Stress. Oh and I dont yet have a computer/lappy, so makes it hard to actually get down to anything ‘virtual’ that doesnt include facebooking on my mobile all day! 
Anyway, so, I’m not sure if anyone’s actually reading this. Even if it’s just one person, that’s cool. It would mean a lot to me. And if not, then I guess this is like writing in a diary.
Ramadhan just came and went… didn’t actually quite feel it. I mean, I had been stressing over how I’d go about with an 18 hour fast (impossible), but it was fairly easy. People aren’t wrong when they say time flies. It really does.
So, anyway, I’m back in London (and it feels like I’m a bird and have just been allowed to fly). It’s so cool here; freedom. Life. Help. Everything. Pakistan was cool; I mean it’s my land after all. But I’m afraid to say it has been polluted. Big time. What we’re supposed to be doing as muslims, the non-muslims have done. Honestly the amount of help you get here in London.. I wish Pak had that kind of a system. And yes, I do blame the people. We can’t just go around blaming the government. It’s wholly our fault. Agree with it or not.
Sooo.. the sad thing about everything that’s happened to me is that I have no friends. None. Nada. Sad, really, but whenever I think about it, there just seems no point. All teenagers do is muck around and these days I am in no mood to muck around.
Yeh I sound a little dark, and I’m jumping from subject to subject, but hey, it’s been hard. And a loooong time since I actually wrote anything, so bare with me here.
On the good side, my dad is supposed to get me a laptop soon so I’ll be able to upload some stuff that I haven’t actually written yet, but it’s on my mind.
Bye to anyone who might be reading. One thing: life is really short and we waste it all, worrying. Try letting the stress sit aside and use usefully what time you have in this world.
Pray for me
