Laddoo
(10:57:50 PM):before i suck it in deep and keep rockin
me
(11:00:25 PM):it’s just testing your sweat… but it all works well in the end alhumdullah
Laddoo
(11:00:35 PM):insha’allah ameen
me
(11:00:41 PM):and then we look back and laugh about how stressed we were
Laddoo
(11:02:00 PM): i dont intend on looking back for a while
me
(11:05:43 PM):well, that kinda hinders self-reflection eh?

Laddoo

Laddoo
(11:05:59 PM):milestones
Laddoo
(11:06:11 PM):and say … no stopping, no looking back until you hit that target
me
(11:07:47 PM):Machiavelli would agree with you on that, carry on with something becuase if you do a half done job you do more damage
Laddoo
(11:08:28 PM):well true
Laddoo
(11:08:32 PM):but with us its like this
Laddoo
(11:08:50 PM):we can no longer say “the sky is the limit” because …… there are already footsteps on the moon
Laddoo
(11:09:05 PM):so we gotta belt this baby like, way outta the stratosphere, way past the moon
Laddoo
(11:09:10 PM):like, we’re just going all out
Laddoo
(11:09:29 PM):we set targets that might seem ridiculously unachievable, to others
Laddoo
(11:09:36 PM):but because we set the bar so high
Laddoo
(11:09:41 PM):whatever we DO get to eventually
Laddoo
(11:09:49 PM):whether below that target, at that target, or above
Laddoo
(11:09:55 PM):in any three of those eventualities
Laddoo
(11:10:04 PM):we will still be miles ahead of what anyone thought we could do
me
(11:11:47 PM):you mean with the modern world?
Laddoo
(11:14:48 PM):yup
me
(11:17:04 PM):people who think there is only valor and honor in the past are narrow minded fools exposed only to thier arrengline and fanstasies
me
(11:17:44 PM):but it makes nice for movies : youtube.com/watch?v=obJOCzZoVEw&feature=related
Laddoo
(11:18:56 PM):yeah i hate looking to the past
Laddoo
(11:19:13 PM):like i dont wanna be “oh we Muslims were like THIS, and like THAT… we WERE kings”
Laddoo

Laddoo
(11:19:17 PM):like, screw that

Laddoo
(11:19:32 PM):and deen
Laddoo
(11:19:34 PM):and eeman
Laddoo
(11:19:38 PM):and THEY got to where they did
Laddoo
(11:19:41 PM):we have no part of it
me
(11:21:56 PM):I think the problem is that Muslims often lose thier creativity and “intelect” about it, cultural, and blindly follow what thier fathers did. They look to the past, to shape thier future, take pride in it too–and it’s often outdated
Laddoo
(11:22:40 PM):yeah
Laddoo
(11:22:49 PM):like whatever happened to progress and good innovation
me
(11:25:04 PM):romanticism took over

Laddoo
(11:26:51 PM):yeah its sad
