Asya testifies
• “after reading The Secret my life changed. I started being positive and read any book whether they are fiction or non-fiction. Because now I realized that all books you read, you learn from them, and you will think 'out of the box' after reading various types of books. You will have a general idea of such topics and issues”

Reading and lying…!! loud• A teacher of religious studies said “..I plan to discuss the
sin of lying”. And “…….I want you all to read this book."• Two weeks later as the teacher and students met to
discuss the book:• The teacher asked for a show of hands:• He asked “How many of you have read Chapter17?” • Every hand went up. • The teacher shook his head smiled and said, • “This book has only sixteen chapters” • “Let’s discuss the sin of lying."

Arabs in Israel
• "We are an entire people who do not read," "Reading is not properly encouraged anywhere in the Arab world. It will solve all our problems. Children need to read of their own accord, not to pass a test, and parents must encourage them."

The Reading Mother remains a common sentiment on Mother's Day Strickland Gillilan (1869–1954
The Reading Mother I had a mother who read to me
Sagas of pirates who scoured the sea.Cutlasses clenched in their yellow teeth;"Blackbirds" stowed in the hold beneath.
I had a Mother who read me laysOf ancient and gallant and golden days;
Stories of Marmion and Ivanhoe,Which every boy has a right to know.
I had a Mother who read me talesOf Gelert the hound of the hills of Wales,
True to his trust till his tragic death,Faithfulness lent with his final breath.
I had a Mother who read me the thingsThat wholesome life to the boy heart brings-
Stories that stir with an upward touch.Oh, that each mother of boys were such!
You may have tangible wealth untold;Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be --I had a Mother who read to me.

Short Poems• Forever Friends• Together forever until the end
Facing the worst with my very best friend
To count on for comfort with a hand to guide Standing forever side by side
Problems arise but disappear Whenever I see that you’re near
Laughter, sorrow, secrets, to share Always showing your passion and your care
When in doubt my saddening will stay Until you’re there with a kind word to say
Facing the future until the end Standing together forever friends

Short Stories - InspirationalSand and Stone
A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the
face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE."
They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one, who had been slapped, got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but
the friend saved him. After the friend recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE."
The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?"
The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something
good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it." LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND, AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE

Favorite Poem - email
• God forgive me when I whine• The world is mine• With feet to take me where I'd go,
With eyes to see the sunset's glow,With ears to hear what I should know:I'm blessed indeed, The world is mine;
• Oh, God, forgive me when I whine• I have everything…
• I am from Palestine
