Grateful Opportunity People

More From Hakeem Olajuwon

The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of a weak, vacillating mind. opportunities! every life is full of them. every newspaper article is an opportunity. every client is an opportunity. every sermon is an opportunity. every business transaction is an opportunity, an opportunity to be polite, an opportunity to be manly, an opportunity to be honest, an opportunity to make friends.
Opportunity Mind Clients
It was like time would stop, and the dancer would sort of step through some kind of portal and he wasn't doing anything different than he had ever done, 1,000 nights before, but everything would align. and all of a sudden, he would no longer appear to be merely human. he would be lit from within, and lit from below and all lit up on fire with divinity. and when this happened, back then, people knew it for what it was, you know, they called it by it's name. they would put their hands together and they would start to chant, "allah, allah, allah, god god, god." that's god, you know.

I believe in islam. i am a muslim and there is nothing wrong with being a muslim, nothing wrong with the religion of islam. it just teaches us to believe in allah as the god. those of you who are christian probably believe in the same god, because i think you believe in the god who created the universe. that's the one we believe in, the one who created universe - the only difference being you call him god and we call him allah. the jews call him jehovah. if you could understand hebrew, you would probably call him jehovah too. if you could understand arabic, you would probably call him allah.
Christian Believe Thinking
I'm feeling really grateful. i'm feeling grateful that i've been able to participate in this game for as long as i have. i'm feeling grateful that i've been able to tell my stories. i don't know that my mom and dad are that grateful, or carey [hart, pink's husband], but it's been good for me. i'm grateful if i've kept one girl from feeling different or ugly or unempowered.

Be proud of your mistakes. well, proud may not be exactly the right word, but respect them, treasure them, be kind to them, learn from them. and, more than that, and more important than that, make them. make mistakes. make great mistakes, make wonderful mistakes, make glorious mistakes. better to make a hundred mistakes than to stare at a blank piece of paper too scared to do anything wrong.
Mistake Important Be Kind
All creatures, day and night, make manifestation of allah. some of them know what they are doing and are aware of their manifesting, while others are unaware. however it may be, allah's manifestation is confirmed.

Similar Quotes
We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect; we apprehend it just as much by feeling. therefore, the judgment of the intellect is, at best, only the half of truth, and must, if it be honest, also come to an understanding of its inadequacy.
Wisdom Truth Intelligent
It is hard to have patience with people who say 'there is no death' or 'death doesn't matter.' there is death. and whatever is matters. and whatever happens has consequences, and it and they are irrevocable and irreversible. you might as well say that birth doesn't matter.
Death Wisdom People
The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.
Life Wisdom Men
Most men are followers, and implicitly rely upon the judgment of others. they mistake solemnity for wisdom, and regard a grave countenance as the title page and preface to a most learned volume. so they are easily imposed upon by forms, strange garments, and solemn ceremonies. and when the teaching of parents, the customs of neighbors, and the general tongue approve and justify a belief or creed, no matter how absurd, it is hard even for the strongest to hold the citadel of his soul. in each country, in defence of each religion, the same arguments would be urged.
