What is success ?

Success means many wonderful, positive things. Success means to wake up at morning and be able to have breakfast with your beautiful family. Going to school or work. Writing your notes. Going out with friends.

I know that might sound silly, and many people can disagree. However, we all know that the word success is actually an abstract term which can has different meanings for different individuals, and everyone will define it from his point of view. Success for an infant means to be able to walk couple steps and reach his mom safely.

To me, success can be different activities and attitudes that will make us feel good about ourselves, and give us the boost of energy to continue our push against our daily struggles. Success can be a small goal.

The first time I set a goal, I was at high school. My first goal ,which is every student’s goal, was to get the high school diploma.

I remember my first day at high school I was so excited and looking forward to start a new pathway .My first class was English. At two p.m. the teacher came into the class, looked to us and he was “ good afternoon, boys and girls, how are you doing?" By the time I was trying to catch a single word, I heard all the class replying “ Hi, teacher” then one of my classmates said “ we are fine, and you?”

I realized that I was really behind. It was the first time I have had this feeling that I am really naive, since I was good enough at all other school subjects. At this time I set my second own goal which was to learn English. I got a small dictionary and started my journey of learning this weird language. But, I was advised by many people that I shouldn’t waste my time in learning English and I should focus in French instead, because it’s required for all positions.

However, I was believing that I should improve my English and that I could be good at both languages, even though I was told that I couldn’t do it. They were .“How could you success on that when you’re complaining all time that you’re tired ,besides you barely could wake up at time!” But, I didn’t give up. Moreover I decided to major in English.
Then, at the beginning of my freshman year, I had been chosen with another four students by my university to participate in SUSI (Study of the U.S. Institute). It was my best five weeks ever.

One week after I came back from my trip, I woke up to go to college one morning and thought I was paralyzed. I couldn’t move anything, it was extremely difficult for me to turn my head and check what time it was. Every joint in my body hurt, and I scarcely could move my hands.

After visiting several doctors, I eventually saw an internist and was told that I had lupus-and psoriatic arthritis.

Everything started making sense. Finally, I figured out what was wrong with me, but at the same time everything in my life started changing. Now, even being able to join my beautiful family at breakfast ,go out with friends ,go to school to my exams or being able to write my notes is a big success.

Subsequently, I had to leave my university, that was far away, and move to close one. Unfortunately, I had to change  my major too.

Also, I set another goal which was to memorize the whole Quran since I was scared that one day I might not be able to hold the Quran and read it.

After three years,I finished my college and got my master degree regardless of all difficulties. I memorized the quarter of Quran. But, I never forgot my own goal to learn English.

The most important thing that I have learned from my disease is that I shouldn’t  procrastinate my goals.

When the pandemic had hit, last year. I took advantage of this hard time ,since learning online became possible, and I started a new virtual job at a good private school and I registered back to my old university to finish my goal.

I believe that being successful is all about how hard we work and try in life, even if we have failed.
According to Ashleigh Brilliant
“Not being able to do everything is no excuse for not doing everything you can.”

At the end, sorry for this long and boring story.

قصتك ليست مملة ولا يمكن أن تكون أبدا مملة ...ولقد سمعت ماهو أسوء .

ولكن ما أعجبني هو اصرارك على التفوق ...إن فيك شيئا حيا ونادرا اسمه الضمير ...

إن الانسان يبدأ حياته ..يتدفق بالحب والحنان..والتفاؤل والثقة..ثم يجف هذا النبع العاطفي في قلبه كلما كبر...ويتحول مع الزمن إلى عحوز أناني بخيل لا يحس الا بمصلحته ولا يجري إلا خلف منفعته . ولكن أنت لا ...ستظلين شابة مهما طال الزمن ...والدليل أن قلبك الكبير لا يحدث له هذا الجفاف مهما كبر وشاخ لأنه يجد في نفسه القدرة على بذل الحنان دائما مهما حدث له ...ومهما تلقى من صدمات .... .

You're worthy utmost respect !not only from me...but also from everybody here .

السلام عليكم ورحمه الله وبركاته 

قصتك ليست ممله بل مليئه بالحياه والطوح heart وأنت انسانه ذات قيمه ولوجودك معنى و أهميه heart

أنت قويه و قويه جداً في زمن نرى فيه من هم يتحججون بأتفهه الاسباب ليبرروا سبب فشلهم ، أما أنت فلا لم تستسلمي ولن تفعلي ذلك ، لأنك كيان يطمح ليكون الافضل ويحقق أهداف عجز عنها الكثيرون . 

SUNSET أنت رائعه heart

أختك ( نورة ماضي )smileyheart 

وشكراً .
