The amount of discipline you need to succeed is insane, you must sacrifice yourself.

you need some trauma. the woman you love needs to fuck someone else, or your father needs to die, or your business needs to collapse. you need to get knocked the fuck asleep. you need to face betrayal. get your heart broken, shattered, and crushed. you need to be abandoned and wronged in so many ways that you become free from all the social ties and decencies that limit your potential. you need to walk around like a leper with deep cuts and no possible treatment. things need to get so bad that your soul plunges to the depths. because in those depths, you will find yourself. and it will be glorious.

Happy new year to you all.

خلصت اليوم مناقشة مشروع تخرجي للماجستير كأول يمني خريج جامعة كيوتو.

عيدكم مبارك وكل عام وأنتم بخير. 🖤

“A man is born to work, to suffer and to fight; he who doesn't, must perish.”

— Nikola Tesla

‏أنتِ تشيرين إلى القمر،
‏وأنا أنظر إلى إصبعك..!
‏إلى معصمكِ،
‏وكَتفكِ و اكتمال البدر على وجهكِ.
‏لستُ أبلهاً،
‏بل عاشقٌ لا يجرؤ - حين يكون معك -
‏أن يهدر لحظةً واحدةً خارج توقيت جسدك،
‏ومنازل الجمال على ملامحك.
- قيس

“No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist."

Happy birthday to my dearest friend: myself.

27 years of fun.

“Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.”

“You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.”

It takes something more than intelligence to act intelligently.

“The greater a man is, the more he exposes himself to being wounded; tranquility is for the mediocre, whose heads disappear into the crowd.”

“A complete man must be an artist, a warrior, and a philosopher.”

“Let everything happen to you. Beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.”

عيدكم سعيد وكل عام وأنتم بخير.

“The most valuable of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it has to be done, whether you like it or not.”

‏تذكر دائماً أن الخيارات لا متناهية ، وأنك لست محدود بفرصة واحدة او مستقبل معين، تذكر دائماً أن في الحياة رحابة ، وأن الافاق واسعة ، وأن الدنيا اكبر من أن تتمسك بشيءٍ ظناً منك أنه قد لا يتكرر
