Solon — Afina qonun chiqaruvchisi va donishmandi — bir kuni boy va qudratidan faxrlanadigan Lidiyalik qirol Kroesusga tashrif buyurdi. Kroesus undan o'zini aytishini kutib, dunyodagi eng baxtli odam kimligini so‘radi. Ammo Solon bunday qilmadi. U, buning o‘rniga, sharafli hayot kechirgan va mardona vafot etgan oddiy odamlardan misollar keltirdi. Kroesus bu fikrga qarshi chiqqanida, Solon mashhur ogohlantirishini aytdi:
"Odamning oxiri nima bilan tugashini bilmasdan, uni baxtli deb bo‘lmaydi"
"Odamning oxiri nima bilan tugashini bilmasdan, uni baxtli deb bo‘lmaydi"
“Just as clouds cannot affect the presence and power of the sun’s light, but can alter our experience of the intensity of the light, sin can veil our perception of our inner goodness, but it cannot change it.”
“Compete with each other in performing good deeds” (2:148), because “those who believe and do good work, they are the people of Paradise, in it they abide eternally” (2:82).”
“Set and enforce an aspirational personal hourly rate. If fixing a problem will save less than your hourly rate, ignore it. If outsourcing a task will cost less than your hourly rate, outsource it.”

“Allah does not look at your appearance or wealth, but rather he looks at your hearts and actions.”
“On those who believe and perform righteous deeds the Lord of Mercy will bestow love for them.”

With all the uncertainty in the world, it’s easy to feel hopeless. Don’t waste time wishing things were different. Where you are right now is where the Almighty wants you to be. Do your best. Trust Him. Believe in Him. Whether it’s a blessing or a lesson, thank Him.
Aytganingdek qilaman. Qilmoqchi bo'lgan ishlarimni yozib beraman.
O'zimni kuzatib, kunimni tahlil qilaman.
Bu foydali mashg'ulot.
Bizni yomon odam qiladigan ishlardan biri – orqaga qaramaslik.
Qilmoqchi bo'lgan ishlarimiz haqida o'ylaymiz. (Yetarlicha ko'p bo'lmasa ham)
Qilgan ishlarimiz haqida esa o'ylamaymiz.
Axir, rejalar bo'lib o'tgan ishlarga ham bog'liq!

Bringing yourself to account is called muhasabahin Arabic. And we will all get the hisaab (the account) of all that we did in this life on the Day of Judgement.
Umar ibn al-Khattab radiyallahu ‘anhu said in one of his most powerful statements:
“Bring yourself to account before you are taken to account (on the Day of Judgement),” and, “Weigh your deeds before your deeds are weighed.” (“Hasibu anfusakum qabla antuhasabu, wazinu anfusakum qabla antuzanu.”)
This issue of questioning yourself and bringing yourself to account was practiced by the salaf (predecessors) of our Ummah. Many of the sahaaba would make up the account for themselves at the end of each day, repenting for the wrong they did and determining to do better the next day.

Son! Offering advice is simple; the problem is its acceptance, for it is bitter in the palates of those who follow their vain desires.
This is so because forbidden acts are captivating to hearts. Accepting advice is particularly difficult on a student going through the motions in his course whilst being lost in vanity and the wonders of the world.
He labors under the impression that the abstract knowledge he possesses will be his redemption and salvation, and that he is not in need of action.
...
This person, trapped in delusion, is unaware that studying knowledge without putting it into action makes the case against him stronger.
...
Son! Do not be bankrupt in deeds and empty of its seeds – spiritual excellences.
Rest assured that abstract knowledge cannot be held with the hand. For example, a man is in the wilderness.
He has ten lethal swords together with other weapons and he is brave and bellicose.
A huge and ferocious lion attacks him. Now what is your opinion? Do you think that his weapons will ward off the danger without him using them and putting them into action?
Of course the weapons cannot ward off the danger without being wielded and put into motion.
Similarly, if a person reads and learns a hundred masaa’il but does not practically apply them the masaa’il will not benefit him. Their benefit is in applying them practically.
If you study for a hundred years and collect a thousand kitaabs, still you will not be qualified for the mercy of Allah unless you
practice.

Don’t be distracted by human knowledge, as AI has been historically.
Instead focus on methods for creating knowledge that scale with computation, like search and learning.

There are fundamentally two huge games in life that people play. One is the money game. Because money is not going to solev all of your problems, but it's going to sovle all of your money problems. People realize that, so they want to make money.
But a t the same time, many of them deep down, belive they can't make money. They don't want any wealth creation to happen. SO, they attack the whole enterprice by saying, Well, making money is evil. You shouldn't do it.
But they're actually playing the other game, which is the status game. THey're trying to be high status in they eyes of other people wathing by saying " WEll , I don't need money. WE don't want money." Status is your ranking in the social hierarchy.

There is one the most important thing to do for younger people starting out
Spend more time making the big decisions. There are basically three really big decisions you make in your early life: where you live, who you're with, wand what you do.
We spend very little time deciding which relationship to get into. We spend so much time in a job, but we spend so little time deciding which job to get into. CHoosing what city to live in can almost completely determine the trajectory of your life, but we spend so little time trying to figure out waht city to live in.
Advice to a young engineer considering moving from his mother country: "Do you want to leave your freinds behind? Or be the one left behind?"
If you're going to live in a city for ten years, if you're going to be in a job for five years, if you're in a relationship for a decade, you should be spending one to two years deciding these things. These are highly dominating decisions. THose three decisions really matter.
You have to say no to everything and free up your time so you can solve the important problems. Those three are probably the three biggest ones.
