Tamer of life's riders, spoiler of horse cravings
With the wisdom of the desert, I enriched the lush horses and took care to name them until they appeared in time as a legend that walked on the lashes of sand with ease, and went slowly to ascend to glory with every effort. Under its spikes, the earth moved, and I was rewarded for its command, patience, secret, and effort. And you were the knight who was the appropriate guardian of the dreams of the wise and the pens of the nobles, and you, sir, were like your impeccable poem, taming the great horses and passing on longings for ages.
. توالت الاكتشافات العلمية الكبرى في القرون الأربعة الأخيرة؛ حيث فسرت الكثير من الظواهر الطبيعية، ونتج عن هذه الثورة العلمية أن وثق الناس أكثر في العلم، وبدءوا يتملمون ضد سلطات رجال الدين حتى وصل الأمر إلى أن رفض البعض الدين بالكلية، وأسقطوا العقائد الدينية مما ترك خواءً نفسيًّا وروحيًّا، وجعل الناس أكثر قلقًا تجاه قضايا الوجود وموقع الإنسان في هذا الكون وسبب وجوده. ويقوم العقاد في هذا الكتاب بتتبع النظريات والفروض العلمية كنظرية النشوء والارتقاء، وكشوف كوبرنيكوس، والقوانين العلمية المادية، كذلك أرَّقت مشكلة وجود الشر في العالم أذهان الفلاسفة. ويرى أن تلك النظريات والأفكار الفلسفية كانت سببًا في الإلحاد والإنكار؛ وذلك عندما اعتنقها البعض وجعلها بديلًا عن العقائد الدينية. ويقول العقاد: إن المائتي سنة القادمة ستكون كافية للفصل في أزمة العقيدة الحاضرة.
To change your whole life, you must start by making a change in a few steps on a daily basis, even if simple, in your lifestyle, and then change your behavior and attitude towards life. The outcome of your life is the sum of your daily actions and practices. Emotions lead to distinctive actions, thoughts stimulate emotions, and behavior stimulates thoughts. Therefore, when you take the initiative to change your behavior pattern, your entire life changes. Those who succeeded in achieving something in their lives did not succeed by chance, nor did they achieve what they achieved without a reason. They made a great effort to be as they are.
You must be convinced that you are a unique person, different from others, and that there is no one like you, and that you carry ideas and dreams that no one else carries, and know that nothing happens without the conditions for it to happen in your life. You can avoid many things that help you improve your abilities and raise the level of your skills towards life. If your outlook on life is positive, you will have wonderful ideas, and therefore you will do everything right. Even if all obstacles surround you and frustrations surround you, you will inevitably succeed. .
Fifteen years after his military coup and his control of power, General Bionche decides to respond to popular and international pressure and hold a presidential referendum that determines his fate. The Minister of the Interior summons advertising expert and former detainee Adrian Bettini. To convince him to lead the campaign to make Pyoncé a success, the leader of the opposition coalition consisting of sixteen discordant parties proposes to Bettini a crazy idea: running the election campaign for the “No” campaign, which is embodied only in a short television advertisement.
Instead of the usual focus on the massacres, detainees, and the horrors of the past period, Bettini suggests that the title of the campaign be: Joy is Coming. Will a fifteen-minute announcement succeed in overthrowing a dictatorial rule that lasted fifteen years?
