...Patience Patience is the first weapon for the believer to use when facing hardship. Patience has been mentioned in the Noble Qur’an more then 90 times. Also it was mentioned many times in authentic Ahadith of the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.). All of these verses and Ahadith talk about the importance of patience in the lives of the believers. All of the messengers of Allah (S.A.W.) suffered great hardships in their lives, yet all of them practiced patience. Therefore, Allah (S.W.T.) alleviated their hardship and promised them great rewards in the hereafter. Today I would like to talk, in detail, about patience. I hope this speech will provide you with knowledge about patience and be a good reminder for all of us. What is the Definition of Patience: Patience is when a person restrains himself from being fearful during hard times. Also, a person who is patient restrains himself from doing prohibited acts and does what is obligated and righteous. Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim said, “There are three types of patience: Firstly, practicing patience to fulfill the obligations and to do righteous. Secondly, abstaining from evil and prohibited acts. And thirdly, practicing patience during times of hardship without complaints.” Importance of Patience: Imam Ibn Taymiyyah said, “Allah mentions patience in His Book more than 90 times.

...Success Success can have a billion and one definitions, all depending on the person defining it. Therefore, making the search for success a difficult journey. For some individuals it only means fame and money while for others it is something more personal. For me success is a balance of both the materialistic and the spiritual. My idea of success is having the financial freedom to maintain my family, accept and love myself, and also being an active member of my future community. Regardless of the definition people may have on success, it can only be reached through certain qualities that not every individual possesses. To reach success one must have patience. We all heard of the famous sang “patience is key” yet we fail to apply it to our problematic situations. Without patience we soon give up and move along the path of life in search for something else that will take less time. Nothing that...

...us to attain fully our values, then we must first believe in them. All too often we have heard people state something that they hold valuable, and when they try to achieve it, they realize that they really don’t believe in it. We can energize our lives by making the full effort to implement the values we subscribe to. Once we identify values that are meaningful to us, we can develop strategies to implement them. When we make the determined effort to implement those strategies; new opportunities, new sources of revenue and income, and other forms of material and psychological benefit may follow. We will examine four values that we believe are significant to our lives and how we came to acquire them. We will discuss their development, and how they will impact our future business career, as well as our own personal lives. The following are the values that we believe in: courage, faith, family and patience. They have guided the decisions we have made in the past, the ones that we face now and in the future.

...Virtues We’ve all heard the famous quote “patience is a virtue”. As true as this statement is, I don’t think we really grasp the meaning of what a virtue really is. I would describe a virtue as a morally good character trait that one is not born with, but must strive for. Patience is a perfect example of this. No child is born with patience. Many times a child will interrupt the mother who is in the middle of a conversation because it wants candy and simply cannot wait for the mother to finish the conversation. So what is it that makes virtues important? I believe the answer can be found in the theory of Virtue Ethics. Virtue Ethics is the theory of how people should be. In other words, we shouldn’t act with honesty, we should be honest. By being honest, honesty becomes second nature to us. It is easier for someone to be honest if they have the virtue of honesty. Being virtuous will benefit someone when they are faced with decisions, challenges, or circumstances. For example, it will benefit a college student to be perseverant because obtaining a degree is not easy. Virtue Ethics defines the context of right and wrong based on the virtues valued in a society. The right thing to do in society as we know it would be to act with virtues like honesty or integrity and the wrong thing to do would be to act with vice, the opposite of a virtue. I believe there are many things about virtue ethics that are true. What I agree with most is Aristotle’s view of how virtues...

...perception of me. As stated in our text book “all of us have a view of ourselves but that view is not always accurate. When it is not accurate we often get in the way of ourselves,” (DeJanasz, Dowd & Schneider, 2015, p6). I find this statement to be true since we see ourselves in one way while other may see us in a different way. I find it hard to self-evaluate myself since it don’t like to talk about myself and my feelings. 2. What “constructive suggestions” would others offer to help you improve or change? Some constructive suggestion will be to have patience and to be more selfish. What they are trying to say is that I need to put myself first for a change. I’m always putting others feelings first before my own feelings. According to my husband I need more patience. As defined in the Merriam-Webster Learner Dictionary patience is the “ability to wait for a long time without becoming annoyed or upset.” Patience is what I need as soon as possible, sometimes I cannot control my reaction which is a real problem. 3. What do you most like about yourself? What I like most about myself is that always make sure everyone around me is happy, no matter what, I always strive to make sure everyone around me is taken care off. I love that quality of myself because I feel it’s something that everyone will also say is a good quality I have. Sometime putting everyone else first put me last on the priority list. 4. What do you most dislike in yourself and would like to change...

How did you learn that Charlie has a disability? (Who was present? When did this happen?) If you were giving advice to professionals who need to explain to a parent that his/her child has a special need, what would that advice be? a. I found out about Charlie’s disability when he was 2 years old and 3 months. I noticed that his language development was very low and he liked to stay to himself a lot. Because I was worried about his language, my husband and I spoke to a doctor. The advice that I would give to a professional would be to make sure that the professional gives the parents all options to help with this life-changing event. Another thing that I would tell professionals is to be sensitive to the parent’s feelings and know what you are talking about. 2. How did you feel when you received the diagnosis? b. When I received this diagnosis I didn’t want to accept it. I felt heart broken; I couldn’t and didn’t want to believe that my child (and family) would have to go through this. I felt pain, sadness, anger, and confusion all at the same time...

...and clients. I had learned to encode a payroll account by encoding the names and new account numbers of their clients. But, we were restricted in encoding due to the privacy of the client’s account. In that case, we had never used the pc again. I had learned to prepare application form for the new client’s. This had helped me to be fast and efficient in preparing the right documents to be given to the client’s. I started to organize many documents. I started to arrange the new clients ATM card form, payroll account, existing and endorsed in alphabetical order. At first it wasn’t easy. There were too many documents and you will need to sort it from A-Z. Then I realized that it wasn’t hard after all. You will just need to focus, time and patience to finish the task. There were also files that needs to be arranged by dates like accounts of the newly hire employees of the client’s company, routing slip, memorandum, ATM card blocked, summary of the payroll accounts and transmittal. The very hardest part of my responsibility was to sort/ arrange of “Used Checks” by their account numbers. You will really need...
