The Black Chapter


ALONE

From childhood’s hour 
I have not been
As others were 
I have not seen
As others saw I could not bring
My passions from a common spring
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone
And all I loved... I loved alone
Then in my childhood In the dawn
Of a most stormy life was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which blind me still
From the torrent or the fountain
From the red cliff of the mountain
From the sun that round I rolled
In its autumn tint of gold
From the lighting in the sky
As it passed me flying by
From the thunder and the storm
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my way

This poem is dedicated to Mr. M

Keep The Children Healthy during Ramadan

Shaum/Sawm is one of The Five Pillars of Islam. Ramadan (a complete fasting), we do the fast for about 29 or 30 days in a row. It is the Holy Month for Muslims. Those twelve years old and above must complete their fast from dawn to sunset.  I've started to teach my child to fast from the last two years when he was 6 years old, even he's just done his first fast for only a couple hours, at least he tried. There are many even as young as four or five are encouraged to fast for a few hours a day during Ramadan by their parents. It's to begin appreciating the significance of the Holy month of Ramadan. Alhamdulillah , I'm very grateful, this Ramadan my son now is 8 years old and so excited about following Ramadan completely.

Conducting A SWOT Analysis for Business

I’ve been dealing with business for more than 3 years. Conducting a SWOT analysis for my business after years of operation is a great practice. It allows me to consider my business position, identify areas of improvement, and capitalize on opportunities for further growth.  SWOT analysis holds significance for several reasons in business. It’s a strategic planning tool used to evaluate a business venture, project, or in this case, any situation that requires strategic assessment.
