An ever inspiring scene..

The young sailor is approaching the captain..
The captain Is looking at him from the bridge.

Young sailor: Hey Captain.. !
Captain: Boy..
Young sailor: Sir, the wind is blowing astern. What should we do?
Captain mumbles: We spread the wings and rise..

Young sailor: Sorry Captain.. !?
Captain : We keep our course, Boy.


The young sailor went on his duty, Although he couldn't fully grasp the meaning of the first few words the captain mumbled with about flying!, he understood that the captain wants to keep the ship's course.. Even if the wind was blowing against..


Years had passed.. and our young sailor has grown up, he got older and wiser, he still works at sea but now he is the master of his own ship..
During one of his voyages he was looking over from the bridge, when he noticed a young sailor coming to him.
He knew that the weather was going to be a bit stiff that day, He smiled when the young sailor approached.. and showed interest.


Young sailor: Sir, the wind is blowing astern what shall we do?
Our Captain looks ahead (facing the bow), and says : We spread the wings and rise son.. That’s what we shall do when it blows, and that’s what I have been doing my whole life son..
The young sailor: I got it sir, you want to keep the course.
The captain replied with a smile -coming deep from his own heart- yes, keep the ship on course, we keep the course son..


The virtue is that we shall never stop trying even when it gets tough and seems impossible, and the phrase "spread the wings & rise" is specifically inspired by a line from Paul Valéry’s poem "Le Cimetière marin" :

"Le vent se lève! . . . Il faut tenter de vivre!"
(The wind is rising! . . . We must try to live!)

Because it's not just about how far you can go, it's also about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward to achieve your noble goals..

سورة العصر The Declining Day (103:1-3)  وَٱلْعَصْرِ ١ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لَفِى خُسْرٍ ٢ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ ٣ https://quran.com/103/1-3 إذن فإن بنى الانسان في خُسرٍ لا محالة مع مرور الزمن! ،  فإن الآية تبينها واضحة صريحة تلك الحقيقة المؤكدة بقسمٍ من الله عزَّ وجلْ؛ إن كل بنى ادم فى خسر مستمر و ممتد الى أن يرث الله الأرض و ما عليها و لكن هناك صنف من بني ادم مستثنون من ذلك الخسران المستمر المُتحقق، ألا و هم : الذين آمنوا وعملوا وتواصوا .. ولكن اذا كان ذلك الخسر حقيقة قد أخبرنا بها الله عز و جل بعدما أقسم بالعصر، فهل هناك علاقة بين ذلك القسم و تلك الحقيقة !؟ و ما هي حقيقة أو صورة ذلك الخٌسر الذي يلحق ببني الانسان !؟ هل هو خسران مادي ام معنوي !؟ و كيف السبيل الي النجاة منه ؟ إن المُتأمِل في حديث الرسول الكريم محمد - صلى الله عليه و سلم - " خير القرون قرني ثم الذين يلونهم ثم الذين يلونهم" . إن ذلك الحديث الشريف ما هو إلا تأكيد واضح مُبسَّط لمعنى "سورة" العصر وإذا تأملنا في...

''But by the grace of god I am what I am..'' Corinthians 15:10 ''..O my Lord grant me that I may be grateful for Your bounty, which You have bestowed on me and my parents, and that I may do righteousness such as You are pleased with, and admit me, by Your mercy, among Your righteous servants'' Anaml :19 Picture for representation ( www.blogher.com ) It’s a big blessing -itself- to sense Allah's blessings within our selves and the people we love.. The holy books have many in common, It's kinda like there is a specific edition of Allah's words to humans modified for each period of time, All have the same core concepts.. Since We believe in the holy Bible as much as we believe in the holy Quran, and since the holy Quran is the latest edition of Allah's words, Allah has mentioned in it that it will be the last and the ultimate version which will stay valid till the humans meet their creator, Allah also swear in the hol...

 Photo from an   article By JOE LEE  Nov.2014 Just a small intro. Before going into this, In fact, an object must have an initial V of 11.2 Km/sec "Earth Escape Velocity" in order to escape the gravitational pull of our planet.!! But, We rise against the Earth's Gravity {instantaneously} yes we do {instantaneously again} can't we just Jump! xD Also Notice that, Power is how much work done per sec. { W/sec} from here we can go on.. A Rocket may be having a Big Force pushing it, But it won't reach the outer space if it doesn't have the enough velocity to Escape the Earth's Gravity ~ in other words enough Power to do so!                                                          { Power(P) = Force(F) x Velocity(V) } And I think this applies to everything, just plan physics ! We may all have...
