Reading ; Out & About

Salaam . 
" With reading, you get the key to a vast ocean. “An Ocean full of Treasures and Gems. Knowledge and Wisdom. The Treasures that will change your life for ever“ " 


 Ususally , beside my studies and  my quite busy life , I like to read . I always loved reading , and the comparison of how much I used to read within the past 5 years , and now , makes me sad . With all the internet world and television , it's hardly if I ever read something outside for school , just for pleasure and knowledge . 
We tend to like enjoying our lives and having fun with our family and friends, that we sometimes forget about how getting more knowledge is important !


This is why - since realizing this -  I've been trying to re get back to reading . I wouldn't lie and say I went and got some big heavy books so as to make myself satisfied lol ! but I discovered some really nice websites which daily upload some really amazing articles ! Among them : ProductiveMuslim.com and Successmuslim.com 
What I like about those two websites is that their articles aren't all about islam ( what you'd first think by seeing that they both have the word " muslim" in them lol ) but also about general culture and self development . 
The articles they put are really cleverly chosen and well written , and usually comport partical ways to help you within something either it is how to improve your reading and writing skills , how to maintain your motivation or even how to get a higher self esteem . 


I highly recommend you to go and check them out ! I'm certain you'll find something you'll like !


As for me some articles that I recently read and really liked would be :

Back with Time

Salaam .
I didnt' post in over a month ! well I've been busy lately ! since I came back from Turkey I didn't rest completly !
Well since my entry to university everything has changed ! I'm studying MBA in case you were wondering , and it's so great ! I love it and it's truly intersting ! I met some new nice amazing people and all have been going well ever since alhamdulilah . Since I basicly didn't have real holidays this year , -the kind of holidays wheere you just sit at home and relax and you have nothing to think , worry or stress about - and since I started courses just right after being back from abroad , I fell really sick ! long story short , I'm now alhamdulilah fine but I lost 4 Kilos which is in my opinion good lol I always wanted to lose some weight :D

It's getting colder here and it's began raining . Eid is in few days , but it's no real big deal for me , just will gather with family and spend some time relaxing , nevertheless I'm not getting ready for it like I usually do for the other eid ( think about what to wear and all ) , I'm too busy with my uni life anyway , and I'm liking it !

I think that telling you I've been spending much time in the library even though I didn't have much to do ,will explain how much I love my university !
Thinking about it , reminds me of how I used to look at "university" in general before . I had a totally different idea of what it would be .
Well let me tell you some facts about it ; The "holding books" ,many books, exists indeed , lol , because you have many courses and each one has it own big book , the "full library" with everyone working , and all busy with their laptops also is present . Indeed in this higher studies it's better to work with somebody or a group of persons , and if you haven't tried it yet , I highly recommend it !

Also when you study in the library , you feel more focused bacause everybody else is doing the same , so there's a huge difference between studying there and studying at home .
What I also like , is how everyone is dressed up everyday for Uni ! I've been doing the same and it feels good :D

I guess this is all for now ! I hope you're doing well and enjoy your upcoming holidays :)
