  • ATTITUDE "a day to start with"

    Articlesbase

    The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company (Society)... a Mosque (Faith)... a home(Relations). The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will…

    The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company (Society)... a Mosque (Faith)... a home(Relations). The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.

    Trust is a word that always has been and continues to be at the very basis of human communication. We trust that when we drink water from the faucet it is not laced with arsenic. We trust that our institutions will reflect the dialogue they expound. National publications frequently list trust as one of the key components that employers and employees are looking for in each other. Our front-page headlines question trust in our political representatives, our major corporations, and our religious organizations. Why this questioning of an age-old idea?

  • Future of education

    Articlesbase

    The bright hope for the future is that our emerging information society requires true education. In this brave new world one has to really know and understand. Getting 60% right answers is no longer good enough and will get you fired not promoted. And - never will one confront the possibility of having to decide which one of five answers is the correct one. You have to know and understand, really know. And - you must continue to know throughout your life and mostly educate yourself and you…

    Concept closely follows the philosophy of a modern, dynamic & futuristic university. Conceived as a pedestrian campus. An environmental friendly campus surrounded by foliage and green landscaped areas. The form of the building takes its shape from the orientation towards sun and semi surrounded multileveled intimate open spaces. The building forms are robust and drive their language from the séance of dynamics and movement in the plan. Working with both conservative and dynamic forms, robust with light, traditional with futuristic, strike the delicate balance required for appropriate architecture. The attempt was to capture architectural sensitivity to our economy, climate, culture, materials and location.
