The Difference between Focusing on Problems and Focusing on Solutions
 
 
Case 1
When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that   the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink won't flow down to the writing  surface). To solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million.
They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from   below freezing to over 300 degrees C. And what did the Russians do...?? They   used a pencil.
    
Case 2
One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case   of the empty soap box, which happened in one of Japan's biggest cosmetics   companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a   soap box that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to   the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the   delivery department. For some reason, one soap box went through the assembly  line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem.
Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution  monitors manned by two people to watch all the soap boxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked  hard and they worked fast but they spent a whoopee amount to do so.
But when    a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, he did not get into complications of X-rays, etc., but instead came out with   another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it   at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soap box   passed   the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.
 
   
Moral
 
Always look for simple solutions. Devise the simplest possible solution   that solves the problems :-).  

Learning about islam

Learning about Islam

from Fatima

Asalam u alaykum

How are you today? I am fine Alhamdulillah

Today our lesson is: Learning about Islam. What is Islam? What is it talking about? Who is our enemy? Let me answer your first question. Islam means to believe in Allah SBT and to not make partners with Him and disobey Him, remember my sisters and brothers Allah is going to be our judge on the day of akhirah.He will ask us what we did in this Dunya (world). My brothers and sisters, the one who do`s bad deeds will go to the hellfire, and the one who do`s good deeds will go to jannah (paradise). I will answer your second question. Islam Is talking about to do good things like to help the poor , and celebrate Eid to obey Him go to hajj once in your life time to pray your Salah (prayer) and fast and search for lailatul qadr in the 10 odd days of Ramadan etc. .Now I will answer your third question. Our enemy is shaitan in English you say satan.shaitan is our enemy the rudest enemy in the whole world. Infact he is our open enemy and a close enemy. Remember my brothers and sisters when Allah said: bow down to Adam his orders when Allah SBT said: Bow down to Adam, only did than the angels obey him but one his name was iblis when Allah saw him not obeying him Allah said to him why did you not obey my orders? Iblis said: you made Adam with clay but you made me from fire so fire is better than clay. Allah said: I shall punish you in the hell fire on the day of judgement.iblis said: I don`t care, I will tempt people to sin and I will take them with me to the hell fire. Allah said: you shall tempt people to sin as much as you want but my true believers will never listen to you.so learn from this my sisters and brothers that we must keep trust in Allah. So never listen to shaitan he will try to tempt you and the whole people. May  Allah keep us on the straight path.Ameen. And one more thing you have to remember to keep shaitan away from you. You have to say audhu billahi minash shaitan nir rajim.so brothers and sisters please remember these three parts of worship inshallah in the next lesson we will learn about pillars of Islam. You will learn about Islam a lot inshallah.

He who has in his heart

asalamu alaykum


Abdullah bin masud (radi allahu anhu) narrated: Allah`s Messenger (peace be upon him) said," He who has in his heart, a particle of arrogance, will not enter paradise. " A person said: indeed a  person likes to wear beautiful clothe and nice shoes?  Allah`s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "Indeed Allah is beautiful and he loves beauty, arrogance means  rejection of the truth and contempt for people."

The Righteous People

Asalam o alikum warahmatulahi wabarakatuh
Mirdas Al-Aslami (radi allahu anhu) narrated: Allah`s Messenger (peace be upon him) said,
"The Righteous people will depart in succession one after the other,
and there will remain (worthless people) like the worthless husk of
barley seeds or (useless) remains of dates and Allah will not care the
least for him

think!!

Asalam o alikum warahmatulahi wabarakatuhu


Try to acknowledge the good deed performed by any
one and do not attribute the good deed of a fellow to
someone else and do not be negligent in rewarding. Do not
exaggerate the ordinary work of some one due to his
family status; likewise do not degrade the good job done
by a fellow because of his low family position.

Hazarat Ali (Allah be pleased with him)

you and seek Allah and do not be helpless.if anything afflicts you do not say : Indeed If I had done this or that (it would have resulted  into such and such) but say: Allah (so) ordained and did as he willed.indeed the word 'if' opens the (door to) satanic conduct."
