A friend @soodparivar sent some Beautiful quotes of Imam Ali, from the book “Peak of Eloquence” and found them #TooGoodNotToShare
1 Never look down upon someone unless you are helping them up
2 Hate no one, no matter how much they've wronged you. Live humbly, no matter how wealthy you become.
Think positively, no matter how hard life is. Give much,even if you've been given little. Keep in touch with the ones who have forgotten you
Forgive who has wronged you & pray for the best for those you love.
3 Awaken your heart to kindness and mercy for the people and love and tenderness for them, because people fall into two categories: they are either your brothers or sisters in faith or your equals in humanity
4 The nourishment of the body is food, while the nourishment of the soul is feeding others
5 Be like a flower that gives its fragrance even to the hands that crushes it
6 Speak only when your words are more beautiful than silence
7 If the eyes of a female cry over a man that oppressed her, Angels will curse him with every step he walks
8 Do not use the sharpness of your speech on the mothers who taught you how to speak
9 A moment of patience in a moment of anger prevents a thousand moments of regret
10 Life consists of two days, one for you and one against you. So when it's for you don't be proud or reckless, and when it's against you be patient, for both days are a test for you
11 The best deed of a great man is to forgive and forget
12 Live amongst people in such a manner that if you die they weep over you and if you are alive they crave for your company
We spend the best years of our lives waiting for a #Miracle when the miracle is #Life itself
We wait for approval,we wait for promotion,we wait for the bonus,we wait for freedom,we wait for a revelation AND in all this,we forget to live
Today, I make this promise to myself. No more waiting. I will live each day like it was the last day of my life. And I will live each day like it is the first day of the rest of my life with no regrets of the day that was..
I will be #Courageous.
Not courageous like a #Soldier under fire, but courageous enough to not wait. Courageous enough to #Live every moment to the hilt.
#Courageous enough to know that the only losses I should fear are the loss of #Love and #Respect, for myself & for those around me.

#TooGoodNotToShare ... #Rule72
What is Rule 72?
In personal finance, if you divide the number 72 by the rate of interest, you get to know the number of years it will take for you to double the money..
Eg: if the rate of interest is 9%, simply divide the number 72 by 9 and the answer is 8. Thus it will take 8 years to double your money if you invest at 9% p.a. rate of interest.
#INTEREST
We can use this rule in reverse to know the rate of interest needed to double your money to achieve your set goal.
At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady.
She started screaming out of fear.
With a #panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started screaming and jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach
Her reaction was contagious as everyone else in her group also started to panic
The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but it landed on another lady in the group and it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama
The waiter rushed forward to their rescue
In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter
