LOG BOOK

Brief introduction:

My name is Humaira Adam Omar. I am currently in grade 11a. I attend Roshnee Islamic School. My view on life is that one should enjoy life. What’s the point of living life if you are too afraid to take any chances? Life is a journey. You should enjoy the ride and you can only do that if you learn to take risks. You never know . . . maybe it could be the best risk you have ever taken. Everyone has dreams. You should learn to fulfill your dreams because nothing comes on a golden platter. You have to work hard to make something out of your life. Don’t give up the first time you try. Every time you fall down, get up and try again. You will definitely succeed. Life is meant to be lived to the fullest. So start enjoying every moment in life. You only live once so make the best of it while you can. Don’t leave things for tomorrow because you never know if tomorrow will ever come. Stop trying to be someone you are not. Learn to be content with what you are. Nobody is perfect. We all have flaws. The key is to stop pointing out our flaws and start looking at our pros. Stop following everyone else. Start making your own choices in life. No one is ugly. Allah made everyone beautiful. We all are beautiful in our own ways. Start making the effort of being happy and happiness will come to you. Nothing is permanent in this world. We all are going to fade away some day or the other. Nothing goes with you to your grave except your deeds. So stop worrying about all the worldly things. It’s not worth it nor is it of any importance.

Dear Brother Yawar Baig.

Asslaamu Alaikum. My name is Humaira Adam Omar. I am a student of the Roshnee Islamic School. I am writing this letter to complement you on your presentation on the Power Of One. I think it was a very inspiring presentation. Mr. Sujee showed it to me in class. It thought me that life is but a journey. I can make a difference if I want to. I don’t need to follow people all the time. I can make my own roads and choose my own routes. I may not always be right, but at least I know that I tried. I want to be known in this world for something good that I did. When I die, I want people to remember and respect me for the difference I made in this world. This presentation has inspired me to chase my dreams and fulfill my wishes. I thank you for your inspiring power point presentation. I hope you have success in your dreams. Once again, Jazaakallah.

Wassalaam
Humaira Adam Omar
