    ..I am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only Allah knows about. Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By Allah, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. ””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””’ My brother, my first words are: I swear to Allah that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 20,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by Allah. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may Allah have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw…The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By Allah, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to Allah, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of Allah. I ask you, by Allah, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967772168484 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may Allah reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by Allah, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may Allah reward you wellππ..`/–~«««~-◊◊◊~~¡~¡~;I..i.i.i.i.i.¡..!!i»≪.I.،:;^|..<.&..<.<...

    Luck (good luck) is where preparation and opportunity come together. Neither alone has the same effect. Assuming opportunity comes equally to all, the determinant then is preparation.

    “Ideas are neither good nor bad…”

    – with all due respect, that’s a load of rubbish.

    • @sykessaul123

      Ideas have positive and negative impacts, a bad idea is one that has more negative impacts than positive, but like everything, that’s subjective and a bad idea for one person could be a good idea for another, it’s all subjective, and is also true in the opposite. For example it’s a good idea for companies to increase profits so that they can grow their company, but it’s a bad idea from the perspective of consumers I’d they do this by raising prices. Key is seeing ideas from different angles and trying to judge if they’re worthwhile.

    Is this “luck” or strategy?

    Actually, I would say her definition applies to “opportunities”, for which she discusses the openness you need to be able to perceive and ‘catch’.the opportunities given to you along your path.

    No luck. You need to turn to God. The world is showing how bad it has gone..because God was remved from everywhere. People want to do life without him…until…they are down in the dumps and nowhere to go…they call on Him…or they are so sucessful and rich but depressed and lonely.. then the call on Him.
    No such thing as luck in this world.
