What Did You learn Today?

MuslimSister —

Salaam

It is said that "knowledge is what you hear from the mouths of men as they only repeat the best of what they have heard"

I think it’d be useful to post tid-bits of invaluable information-religious/non religious here in this thread.

It can be stuff that you learnt in work/Uni/Mosque/in a talk/something a wise elder told you/a life experience or something that you suddenly realised.

It can be minor or major stuff. It has to be stuff that you never knew before.

Today I learnt…

1-Why I shouldn’t trust, join or think highly of the Sufi Muslim Council

2-It’s quicker for me to get to Uni by Car than public transport.

3-Rubicon Pomegranate juice is tasty and apparently very good for you.

4-Spending so much time typing on computers leads to illegible handwriting and poor spelling

5-Being in the spotlight on a regular basis results in a higher chance of insincerity in actions and can negate all good work.

Keep this thread updated regularly…

Wasalaam

MuslimSisLilSisi think its a external thing

thats why kids never get depressed

Hormones and such do not come into play until you reach teenage - adulthood.. for children, depression/anxiety is better known to be extrinsicly caused, but for adults and such, it isnt necessarily due to external influences - and like any other medical condition, it is also a medical condition that has to be treated..

Obviously external factors play a part - remember that hadith that compares a righteous friend and an unrighteous/evil friend as that of a perfume seller and a blacksmith.. 😉 But that having been said, its only too easy to dismiss any anxiety/depression/etc that a person may face as soley due to pressures from the outside.. As well as negative social surroundings and external factors, medically, the root cause can be due to imbalances within the body - ie hormones, brain chemicals, etc

I think we're agreeing on outward influences playing a factor 🙂 - but like i said before, it may not necessarily be the only factor.. like everything else, it differs from person to person..

Today I learnt...

-As much as I hate it, sometimes I'm forced to play the play the role of the damsel in distress.

-Even though I'm 22 I still expect my dad to fight my battles.

-When driving 24/7 one forgets about the simple pleasures that long walks bring..such as talking on the phone, bumping into friends and window shopping...

-Unlike the undergraduate course, most postgraduate courses are full of really intresting people of various ages from different backgrounds and experiences from all over...

Today I learnt…

One learns a hellava lot from others...

How important it is to know ALL the back roads of all the areas you regularly drive in so you don’t stress out and get lost when traffic becomes diverted…

Just cos you’re a Muslim, it doesn’t mean you’re the expert…today, a English guy from my class was telling ME all about the Caliph Khalid Bin Walid – goodness I felt so ignorant…(he’s done his Masters in Islamic History).

Some girls need to be taught how to act like girls…however, it comes naturally to others.

Never judge a book by its cover…I was talking to an English girl with an English name from my class today who was telling me about her affiliation with the Sikh religion…and was wondering why an Indian girl with an Indian name knew less about Hinduism than I did – I later found out that she was Christian…..

I’m more likely to keep in touch/celebrate mates B’days etc than my own family…:?

Today I leant that I knew the meaning of fracas.

Just used the word in another post, then later on thought 'Is that even a word?' let alone using it in context... checked answers.com, and it was the perfect word.

laila Thu, 7 Dec 2006 - 11:37

yes what an apt word i'd almost forgotten it thanks for the reminder and i've used it twice already!

Seraphim Thu, 7 Dec 2006 - 19:36

Snoopztoday i learnt
every saint has a past and every sinner has a future!!!!!

and every cloud has a silver lining... and every a.s.s. has a crack in it....

So in truth... ive learnt nothing new at all.....

Angel Thu, 7 Dec 2006 - 22:25

I learnt:

How much patience and love is required to teach a child (knew this but putting it into practice is much harder)

How noisy 15 small girls can be!!

I also learnt how easy it is to become attached to someone....

Whatever you teach, you always have your one favourite

It is nice to be in control/charge :twisted:

To walk while sleeping.
