Steps to Prosperity

If you live in the second or third floor, you would take the elevator, rather than walking up the stairs. Even if you have to wait for it. But if you are going out from your place, you would just take the stairs down if the elevator is full. Why? Simply because you know that going up the stairs is much difficult than going down. Why? Because of something that we name as "gravity". Sir Isaac Newton, the infamous scientist who "discovered" the gravity. Some uneducated people might mistakenly use the word "created." Now, if someone comes and denies gravity, you would say he is mad, of course. How can you deny something we see with our eyes every day. The apply falls from the tree, because of gravity. Well, both of you are wrong. Gravity does exist, but we cannot see it. What we observe or see, is the effect of gravity. And through which we established that there is something unseen, that makes the apple falls on the ground. We do not know how it wor

I look back, in my previous posts, and I see the development of my character. As reading a novel, there are ups and downs...and lots of unexpected plot-twists. This is one of the reasons that keeps me writing until now, and honestly, I am not quite sure what I started this. However, day by day, page by page, my story evolves to its final and ultimate plot twist which will be unexpected. The audience, the followers will wish nothing more as at that point, they will understand that it was a perfect story. What has happened to me, exactly one month ago, made me reflect back on my life. It was a turning point...a plot twist indeed...I have been immobilized for a month so far. I was not planning to give my body a vacation, but it was a heavenly forced holiday. In this period, I have developed other experience including intellectual and philosophical. It made me also dependent on others, which is something really rare for me...Of course, for security reasons, the details of what happen

The last question was asked for the first time, half in jest, on May 21, 2061, at a time when humanity first stepped into the light. The question came about as a result of a five dollar bet over highballs, and it happened this way: Alexander Adell and Bertram Lupov were two of the faithful attendants of Multivac. As well as any human beings could, they knew what lay behind the cold, clicking, flashing face -- miles and miles of face -- of that giant computer. They had at least a vague notion of the general plan of relays and circuits that had long since grown past the point where any single human could possibly have a firm grasp of the whole. Multivac was self-adjusting and self-correcting. It had to be, for nothing human could adjust and correct it quickly enough or even adequately enough -- so Adell and Lupov attended the monstrous giant only lightly and superficially, yet as well as any men could. They fed it data, adjusted questions to its needs and translated the answers that w

First, you learn how to count from one to ten. You feel that happiness. The feeling of satisfaction. Then you realize that numbers are not limited to ten. You work very hard to learn how to count up to a hundred, a thousand, a million. Then you figured out that numbers can go to infinity. Until finally you realize than you cannot count until the end. And then, you learn about fractions. You learned than even between one and two, there are infinite numbers of fractions. Not only that numbers can increase until infinity, even between two subsequent integers, there are infinity of possibilities. Two dimensions of infinities.... Now, you learn that numbers can be positive, as well as negative. You can also go infinitely in the negative direction, thus, adding another level or dimension of infinity...unlimited positive numbers, unlimited negative numbers, and unlimited possibilities of fractions... You go further in learning the numbers....you are introduced to the complex num

If we say like that, then we are nullifying the attribute of Justice from Him, the almighty. If we believe that He is All-knowing, and that He WROTE EVERYTHING for us, then we are saying that He is not fair. However, He has the absolute knowledge as well as He is the Just. So how? Yes, it has been written for some to go to hell. (No, the correct way to say: It has been written that some of us will go hell.) BUT that does not mean they were forced to act in such a way that will lead them to hell fire.  Before the creation of everything, Allah already knows what will happen. He knew already that some people will go to hell, although He gave them options and sent messengers to warn them. When we say He wrote that a person A would go to Hell, it is not mean that He is forcing him. He knew that this person A will choose the wrong way by his own free will. Knowledge does not necessary means forcing. In the things that we will be asked in the day of judgement, these things we have t
