There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women.
Dünyada iki güç vardır. Biri kılıç, diğeri ise kalem. İkisi arasında büyük bir rekabet vardır. Ama bir üçüncü güç vardır ki, her ikisini de ezip geçer. Kadının gücü.
Rule One: You will receive a body. You may love it or hate it, but it will be yours for the duration of your life on Earth.
Rule Two: You will be presented with lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called ‘life.’ Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.
Rule Three: There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of experimentation, a series of trials, errors, and occasional victories. The failed experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that work.
Rule Four: A lesson is repeated until learned. Lessons will be repeated to you in various forms until you have learned them. When you have learned them, you can then go on to the next lesson.
Rule Five: Learning does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
Rule Six: ‘There’ is no better than ‘here’. When your ‘there’ has become a ‘here,’ you will simply obtain a ‘there’ that will look better to you than your present ‘here’.
Rule Seven: Others are only mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.
Rule Eight: What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you.
Rule Nine: Your answers lie inside of you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
Rule Ten: You will forget all of this at birth. You can remember it if you want by unravelling the double helix of inner knowing.
–Cherie Carter-Scott, From “If Life is a Game, These are the Rules”
Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned.
Surat Al-'Anbya' [21:35]
Her canlı, ölümü tadar. Bir deneme olarak sizi hayırla da, şerle de imtihan ederiz. Ve siz, ancak bize döndürüleceksiniz.
Surat Al-'Anbya' [21:35]
Toda a alma provará o gosto da morte, e vos provaremos com o mal e com o bem, e a Nós retornareis.....Surat Al-'Anbya' [21:35]
Toute âme doit goûter la mort. Nous vous éprouverons par le mal et par le bien [à titre] de tentation. Et c'est a Nous vous serez ramenés.....Surat Al-'Anbya' [21:35]
Ogni anima gusterà la morte . Vi sottoporremo alla tentazione con il male e con il bene e poi a Noi sarete ricondotti.....Surat Al-'Anbya' [21:35]
Jedes Lebewesen soll den Tod kosten; und Wir stellen euch auf die Probe mit Bösem und Gutem als eine Prüfung; und zu Uns sollt ihr zurückgebracht werden......Surat Al-'Anbya' [21:35]
