I love my quotes and they provide a lot of inspiration to the way I think and act. Below is a quote I came across and thought to share it with my readers. Please do not spend to much time pondering over the quote, but make a note of it.

He who can see both sides of an argument is missing something.

Some reasons why Projects go wrong include:

  • scope/objectives are unclear;
  • lack of buy-in from key players - or no clear understanding of what the Project is trying to achieve; 
  • Inappropriate optimism when drawing up plans. Beware, it is human nature to be over-optimistic; 
  • Under-resourcing the Project; 
  • Too much reliance on one individual

These are only a few reasons, the list could go on and on and on…

Just remember; ensure everything agreed is documented. Any changes in requirements/scope comes via a change request and do not get over-optimistic especially if you are the Project Manager as if it all goes wrong, you will be the one feeling the strain.

The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits

This is a review of a dear friends site which I have been reading almost daily since it was launched in June 2007. Not because of its a friends site, not because it has beautiful photos or other art. But because the writer is a young Muslim Professional writing from his perspectives on Islam and Islamic Life. He is not a preacher nor a scholar however, he has found the balance between what makes a good post and how to deliver his message accurately.

I hope he does succeed in whatever topic he covers on Islam. I also hope he still writes in his blog for a long, long time. I would give this site a higher score, but I don’t want him to stop trying to better himself.

Islam plays a central role in my Life and the hidayablog is a good source for information on what is important and a great reminder for how Islam can influence ones life. I espcially like the blog on United We Stand and The Importance of being Earnes.

Keep up the good work. Allah willing you will soon have a large following for your blog.

Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.
