I was just looking through my journal and found this entry:
There is a great feeling that comes from achievement. For reasons beyond my ability of explanation I will easily say that the stress and mental & physical burden that comes from putting your mind, body, and soul to the fullest extent of its capabilities is one of the most positive forces describable. Putting your efforts and work to what you thought would be far beyond the capability of its capacity is a gift bestowed by God himself; strengthening you, protecting you, and bestowing his mercy upon you. This is true success, striving beyond your capabilities for the sake of Allah, for the sake of bestowing goodness on your fellow brothers and sisters, and happily dying knowing you have given every once of your body and soul for the positivity which benefits man and comes only from Allah. Oh to be like this, truly this is success.
Wa Alhamdullilah Rabb ul-Alameen
And All Praises due to God, Lord of the worlds.
May Allah give us all the wisdom and the strength
Ameen.

i think maybe this website should have an announcements section.. posting this kind of stuff in an author's article (which has nothing to do with the content of the article) is kind of rude
