0:02 The dawn breeze.
0:04 The dawn breeze.
0:08 The joy of success.
0:10 Success has a sweetness
0:15 whose delight is known
0:17 only to those who succeed.
0:19 The more success is
0:21 difficult to attain,
0:23 and the more the path to it
0:25 is filled with obstacles,
0:27 the greater that delight becomes.
0:29 That is why
0:31 success is a human aspiration,
0:33 for people love nothing more
0:35 than to be
0:37 successful.
0:39 However, we must
0:41 understand well
0:43 that the joy of great success
0:45 does not come
0:47 except after traversing stages
0:49 of fatigue, waiting, and pain.
0:51 It is not
0:54 easy to be successful
0:56 without that.
0:58 Quick,
1:00 effortless success
1:02 brings no sweetness to the soul.
1:04 There are some people
1:06 who are overcome by misery
1:08 because they have not succeeded,
1:10 so their souls ache,
1:12 and they grieve
1:14 deeply
1:16 when they see others
1:18 arrive while they have been cut off.
1:20 Despair of succeeding
1:22 grows within them
1:24 once more
1:26 on that path
1:28 they have taken,
1:30 and perhaps on the path
1:32 of every success,
1:34 until some of them utter
1:36 words of despair,
1:38 such as saying:
1:40 "If I were a shroud merchant,
1:42 no one would ever die."
1:45 Or as another said:
1:47 "If people knew what I know
1:49 about the times,
1:51 they would rejoice in nothing,
1:53 nor would they marry or have children."
1:55 So, to every wounded heart,
1:57 every broken spirit,
1:59 and every troubled soul on the path
2:01 of success,
2:03 I say:
2:05 First,
2:07 before you embark on a path
2:09 of a specific success,
2:11 you must understand your capabilities and your
2:13 realistic circumstances,
2:15 so that you may set out realistically.
2:18 Think before you begin,
2:20 and study your conditions
2:22 and the conditions of your reality.
2:24 A blind man should not compete
2:26 in speed reading,
2:28 nor should anyone look
2:30 to go ice skating
2:32 in Sudan.
2:34 Second,
2:36 know that the path to success
2:38 requires from you
2:40 a burning will
2:42 that does not believe in lethargy,
2:44 and constant movement
2:46 that knows no stillness,
2:48 and patience without impatience.
2:50 The poet said:
2:52 "I strove for glory
2:54 while those who sought it
2:56 had already reached it,
2:58 and they endured its hardships.
3:00 They struggled for glory
3:02 until most of them grew weary,
3:04 but glory was embraced
3:06 by those who were faithful and
3:08 patient.
3:10 Do not think that glory
3:12 is honey you can eat;
3:14 you will never reach glory
3:16 until you taste the bitterness of patience."
3:18 Third,
3:21 do not feel frustrated
3:23 or lack self-confidence
3:25 if you fail.
3:27 Do not convince yourself that you are incapable
3:29 of reaching your goal.
3:31 Manage yourself well
3:33 by believing that you can
3:35 arrive, no matter how much you stumble,
3:37 for this is one of the first
3:39 steps of success.
3:41 Fourth,
3:43 repeat the attempt,
3:45 continue to progress,
3:47 and insist on reaching your goal.
3:49 Mount the steed
3:51 of perseverance.
3:53 Learn from the child who begins
3:55 to walk;
3:57 he falls more often
3:59 than he walks,
4:01 yet he tries
4:03 until his legs grow strong.
4:05 And learn from the ant,
4:07 as it continues
4:09 to climb and fall,
4:11 and climb and fall;
4:13 do not despair
4:15 until you reach the summit.
4:17 In the hadith of the man who performed
4:19 his prayer poorly,
4:22 the man repeated the attempt,
4:24 and the Prophet, peace be upon him,
4:26 guided him in that
4:28 until he perfected his prayer.
4:30 Fifth,
4:32 do not let mistakes
4:34 hinder your path to success;
4:36 rather, create success from them.
4:38 From the rubble of mistakes,
4:40 you will build the edifice of your success.
4:42 It has been said:
4:44 "Do not let obstacles
4:46 stop your journey.
4:48 If you face a wall,
4:50 do not turn around
4:52 to return disappointed;
4:54 you must try to climb it,
4:56 or pass through it,
4:58 or even
5:00 go around it."
5:03 So, forget your failures
5:05 on the path of success,
5:07 for remembering that
5:09 stumbling covers
5:11 your soul with pain
5:13 and hinders your continuity and progress.
5:15 If you want to reach
5:17 the desired goal,
5:19 do not look back
5:21 to count the number of times
5:23 you failed;
5:25 rather, move forward, forgetting
5:27 the mistakes of the road.
5:29 It has been said:
5:31 "Learn to build a ladder
5:33 from the stones you stumbled
5:35 over."
5:37 And it was said:
5:39 "I move slowly,
5:41 but I never go backward
5:43 at all."
5:45 And it was said:
5:47 "We fall so that we may rise,
5:49 and we fight battles to achieve a more magnificent victory,"
5:51 just
5:53 as we sleep
5:55 to wake up with more strength
5:57 and energy.
6:00 Sixth,
6:02 feel within yourself
6:04 that you will realize the joy of success
6:06 while you are still suffering
6:08 the pain of the path,
6:10 for that will lighten for you
6:12 the hardship and urge you
6:14 to keep going.
6:16 Seventh,
6:18 if you have tried and exerted effort,
6:20 do not grieve;
6:22 rather, change your means to success,
6:24 for some of them may lead you
6:26 if others
6:28 have blocked you.
6:30 If you do not reach it,
6:32 change the direction of your success,
6:34 for you may succeed elsewhere.
6:36 Success is not limited to one field;
6:38 Al-Asma'i failed
6:40 in the science of prosody (Arud)
6:42 but excelled in literature,
6:44 and Sahl ibn Habib did not succeed
6:47 with Al-Khalil
6:49 in prosody,
6:51 However, he succeeded in the field of grammar.
6:53 The breeze of the dawn,
6:56 in bringing happiness to mankind.
