Gem #1

Don't Quit

Poem by John Greenleaf Whittier


When things go wrong as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don't you quit.


Life is strange with its twists and turns

As every one of us sometimes learns

And many a failure comes about

When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don't give up though the pace seems slow—

You may succeed with another blow.


Success is failure turned inside out—

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell just how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit—

It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.


 

Gem #2





Moses said,



‘Lord, lift up my heart














and ease my task for me.














Untie my tongue,














so that they may understand my words


[Surah Ta-Ha 20:25-28]






 

Gem #3



And We send down water from the sky according to (due) measure,


and We cause it to soak in the soil;


and We certainly are able to drain it off (with ease).”


[Surah Al-Muminoon 23:18]





 

Gem #4



O humankind,

We created you from a male and a female,

and We made you races and tribes for you to get to know each other.

The most noble of you in the sight of God are those of you who are the most conscientious.

And God has full knowledge and is well aware of all things


[Surah Al-Huuraat 49:13]

Before you tell me about your religion, show me in your actions.
 

Gem #8


The service you do for others is the rent you pay for your room here on Earth

Muhammad Ali





Can I have an audio ‘book’ instead?

An ipod loaded with quotes, talks and lectures of inspirational people and their stories so I could listen to them rather than just read them.




A photo album

of family, friends, special moments that I could look at and remember good times.
