“Produzioni artistiche come la pittura o il canto erano sconosciute ai naga. Ma al contrario del loro disinteresse per la musica, causato da scarse capacità uditive, la mancanza d’arte pittorica nella cultura dei naga era causata dalla loro straordinaria vista. Agli occhi di questi esseri in grado di vedere il calore, il più spettacolare dipinto umano appariva come nulla più di un insignificante pezzo di stoffa. La gamma di colori accessibile alla vista dei naga era enormemente vasta, ma, non esistendo pitture calde o fredde, questi non avevano mezzi per poter realizzare dipinti.”

“Prof. Pervez Hoodbhoy, a noted Physicist, asks that if Salat-e-Istasqa is performed, then why it does not rain often. He wrote: “The equations of fluid flow, not the number of earnest supplicants or quality of their prayers, determine weather outcomes.” The answer is that Salat-e-Istasqa is a voluntary prayer to ask Allah’s blessings. The collective performance of this prayer is not the replacement of physical efforts or understanding of physical phenomena. It only serves as a moment of reflection and reminder for the people who pray. For instance, when Qur’an says that Allah provides sustenance, it does not imply that we sit idle and do not engage in Kasb-e-Halal (legitimate economic enterprise). Likewise, if physical efforts or physical understanding can help in dealing with physical problems, then all efforts towards these ends shall be undertaken.”

“Prof. Stephen Hawking once said: “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look around carefully before they cross the road.” Religious faith does not mean that after accepting faith, one can walk on water, fly in the air or defy physical limits in any other sense. Religion concerns with moral content in choices made with free will. Repeatedly, Qur’an asks people to strive for knowledge, discovery, exploration and virtuous livelihood. Nowhere there is a restriction on planning or in using material resources bestowed by the Creator.”

“Profesorii, părinții și psihologii au observat o scădere abruptă a capacității de a păstra atenția, atât în rândul adulților, cât și al copiilor. Un studiu din 2015 a constatat că durata medie de atenție a adulților a scăzut de la 12 la 8 secunde, adică mai puțin decât poate fi atent un caras auriu.”

“Professional bodybuilding is a sport of total dedication. You must dedicate every aspect of every day to the attainment of your goals if you want to succeed. It is not enough to merely go to the gym to "work out." You must put all of your concentration and focus on each rep, on each set, on each exercise to have a successful workout.”

“Professional chefs aren't the only ones who get to wear an apron to work. There are welders and farriers and fishmongers and printers and grocery clerks and artists and florists and bakers and housekeepers and lab technicians and carpenters, to name a few who call an apron their uniform, and lucky them. How nice to be able to shift gears from leisure to work and back again with the tug of an apron string.”
