This voice is like an ointment for the soul...

This voice is like an ointment for the soul...
 
                            His voice is warm and sweet, that goes directly to the heart

“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”



“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”
Mother Teresa


“Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing
can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity
to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel
that there is something in them
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.

To think only the best, to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past
and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side
so long as you are true to the best that is in you.”

Know that beauty is two types: external and internal.

Know that beauty is two types: external and internal. Internal beauty is loved for itself; it is the beauty of knowledge, reason, generosity, chastity and courage. That inside beauty is what God looks at and loves in His servant. Moreover, inside beauty beautifies the external image even if it is not appealing, when the person is covered with reverence, sweetness and beautiful manners as much as his soul acquires of those features. A believer is granted reverence and beauty according to his faith, so Know that beauty is two types: external and internal. Internal beauty is loved for itself; it is the he is revered by those who meet him and loved by those who deal with him. This is commonly observed as you can see the righteous, charitable and well-mannered man projecting the nicest impression even if he is plain in looks, especially when he has been blessed with keeping night prayers as they illuminate the face and beautify it.http://www.islamicquotes.net/blog/


Being grateful and thankful to Allah for everything you have, being content with what Allah has given you. This will make you feel rich even if you don't have a thing (which is never true) and it will get you rewarded by increasing your blessings in this world and in the hereafter.
Live your life as you did in Ramadan and your death will be like paradise.
 
Anyone who shows the way to something good has the same reward as the person who does it

Optical illusions

Optical illusions
 "Illusions we make are always more serene than reality, because from even our need, they should be fully appropriate to it, which is never reality. "John Slavici

Optical illusions occur as a result of how information is received through the eyes and how that information is interpreted in the brain.
When light enters the eyes, it passes first through the cornea, a transparent cover, and then through a watery fluid called the aqueous humor, and through the pupil, which is an opening in the colored part of the eye called the iris. The size of the pupil increases when there is less light and decreases when there is more.
 Light next passes through the lens, which focuses the light through a transparent jell, called the vitreous body, onto the retina. The retina has two types of light sensitive cells, rods and cones. Rods are particularly sensitive to shades of light and outlines, and they are important in both night and peripheral vision. Cones have specialized pigments that are sensitive to either red, green, or blue. Cones enable people to see details. Rods and cones cover the entire retina except for a small area just above the optic nerve, known as the blind spot.
When a person looks at an object of a particular color for a long time and then suddenly looks at a blank space, the person sees a ghostly outline of the object in its complimentary color. If the object is red, the person sees green. If the object is blue, the person sees yellow. This happens because the cones are sensitive in pairs. When a cone sensitive to one color is turned off, the other color is briefly turned on.








When someone looking at optical illusions, the eyes are recording an image that the brain misinterprets.
 The illusion is a false perception of an object, which, unlike hallucination occurs in this object. However, erroneous perceptions are considered only if the illusion is valid for a large number of individuals. Illusions common to all individuals with a normal psychophysiological state are determined by the very laws of perceptual training.


 Just as it perceives colour and brightness constancies, the brain has the ability to understand familiar objects as having a consistent shape or size.
 Physiological illusions, such as the afterimages following bright lights, or adapting stimuli of excessively longer alternating patterns (contingent perceptual aftereffect), are presumed to be the effects on the eyes or brain of excessive stimulation or interaction with contextual or competing stimuli of a specific type—brightness, colour, position, tile, size, movement.






 Cognitive illusions are assumed to arise by interaction with assumptions about the world, leading to "unconscious inferences", an idea first suggested in the 19th century by Hermann Helmholtz. Cognitive illusions are commonly divided into ambiguous illusions, distorting illusions, paradox illusions, or fiction illusions.

 Illusions can be based on an individual's ability to see in three dimensions even though the image hitting the retina is only two dimensional. The Ponzo illusion is an example of an illusion which uses monocular cues of depth perception to fool the eye.
There are three main types: literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make them, physiological ones that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type (brightness, colour, size, position, tilt, movement), and cognitive illusions, the result of unconscious inferences.
"No illusion, no nothing, it's strange to know the mystery of reality in unreality." Emil Cioran
