Closing Of ACM National Contest 2008

It felt a little bit exciting to see a movie about a day that u have just passed :D. If u hadn't tried such a thing before, ok, never mind at all, just join one of FCI-Life Community events day, and most probably u'd find me and Walaa making a film about it ... LOL =))

Again, this was detected for ACM National Contest that had been hold in Faculty of Computers and Information, Cairo University, at Nov. 2008.

Now, enjoy it :)

The Circle Of Life

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done

Some say eat or be eaten
Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give

In the Circle of Life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle, the Circle of Life

Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars

There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps the great and small on the endless round

Album: From the "Lion King I" film

يــــــا طـــير

يا طير أسير محبوس ... نفسك تطير بره

لحد ما تفرج ... إطرح لي كام بذرة

تكبر في قلبي الحر ... وتوصّل الفكرة

البذرة تبقي اتنين ... عشرين متين ملايين

يا قلبي يا مكسور ... متقضيهاش حزين

منتاش زعيم؟ جايز ... لكن وراك ملايين

لو بذرتك تطرح ... هيقوم صلاح الدين

صحيح مهوش انت ... بس انت كبرته

ربيته علي الفكره ... وبقت كما الشجرة

لو حتي مش قادره ... تطرح بذور حرة

البذرة تبقي اتنين ... عشرين متين ملايين

غناء: حمزة نمرة
ألبوم: احلم معايا

ACM National Contest 2008 Movie

This video was detected to ACM National Contest, that was held in Faculty of Computers and Information, Cairo University, at Sat. 8th, Nov., 2008.

This was the 7th ACM National contest in Egypt. And the 3rd organized by FCI-Life Community... My community :)

It was another precious day for us all , Al7amdu Le Allah. As it passed successfully with the blessings of Allah.

This video is the 3rd one made by my friend Walaa Ibrahim and me. It was a quit long time since we'd did a movie together ;)
Anyway, enjoy :)

The Art Of Saying "Thank You"!!

"Those who don't thank people, don't thank Allah!". This is one of the greatest social values that we -Muslims- have learned from our prophet Muhammad -PBUH-. I really feel so proud to have such a value in my believes :)

However, there's some people don't use it in a proper manner, and that annoy me so much!!!

I believe that when somebody do some favor for you "personally", you should say "thank you" to him/her. But in case that someone do something for you or for whatever, and you know that s/he do it for "the sake of Allah" then saying "thank you" would have no meaning here in this context!!

Think of it, this person isn't waiting for thanking words from you!! Instead, s/he is looking for them from Allah -Sunhanu Wa Taalaa-, Right??

All what I wanna to say is: Our prophet said "Thank people", but He didn't say "How" to do so. He left the choice to us, and for our own estimate of the situation and the personality of our fellows.

When you are to thank some fellow, think first of how to say it. You may take in account his own personality, the real purpose that made him do that favor, what motivate him most, what he loves, etc.

It maybe time consuming, but believe me, it worthy ;)

The Happy Memory We Need And Patronus Charm

Well, I'm not a fan of Harry Potter's movies or even books, you may consider me a fan of Ron Weasley character or the Weasleys in general and the Defense Against The Dark Art Courses :D. However, I've already watched the five movies, and some scenes from each movie was inspiring for me a lot.

Here, I'll take about a scene from "Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban" film. It's the scene when Harry ask Professor Lupin to teach him the Patronus Charm, in order to defense himself from the Dementors attacks. Take a look:

Maybe we, in real life, don't have Dementors, but no one can deny that life is full with experiences that absorb our happy memoirs and only leave us with the saddest and toughest ones :(.

And cumulatively, we keep in our minds only those horrible feelings of failures, fear of trying something new, and pains. Only one idea controls our minds "we can't do so... we are losers... this is beyond our capabilities... "

I believe that best solution for this is the Patronus Spell ;) .. Think of it.. Just close your eyes ... Concentrate... Explore your past... Have a happy and powerful memory... Allow it to fill you up... Lose yourself in it... Then go strongly and bravely towards your goal.

Don't have a happy and powerful memory in our past? Do you?! OK, no problem, then create it, just as Harry did. Imagine how happy you would be when you achieve your goals. Think of how much honor would you bring to your lovers and family when you did that achievement.

It's not inspired from a magical and fantasy world. Believe me, not at all!! I can't forget my beloved prophet Muhammad - PBUH - while the Muslims ware digging the Khandak Tunnel to defence the Maddina against the attacking army, and a huge rock was in the middle of the tunnel, and He - PBUH - came to it and said: "Allah is greater, Roma has been conquered for us", and hit the rock, and said again:"Allah if Greater ... Farris has been conquered for us", then hit the rock again, so the rock had been destroyed immediately!!

Muslims ware so scared at that time, all the Arabian Tribes ware on their way to Maddina to destroy it. But the prophet words make them all think in the happy and the powerful memory of spreading the words of Allah in the whole world.

True Muslim has nothing to fear from in this world. Except doing something would make Allah angry from him. Otherwise, He has all the power and courage to do anything, try everything new, and have new experiences in the world.

And what a happy memory Muslims can have than being in the paradis with our beloved Muhammad -PBUH- and his companies :)

This post is detected to all mankind in the whole world,
And specially for my best ever teams, GP Team, and Life Team :)
May Allah gather us in the Janna, as He gathered us in this life, Amin.
