This is the ceremonial blade of the Ancient Egyptian Princess Ita, Pharaoh's daughter. She lived in the 12th Dynasty, circa 4,000 years ago. The hilt is made of gold. The blade is made of bronze and is mounted on a solid gold shoulder. The tongue of the bronze blade fits exactly into the hilt. The style and form of the blade are Phoenician and Cretan in origin. The design is exquisite and it is perfectly built. Was it made abroad or made by local Egyptian swordsmiths influenced by foreign styles? We will never know. What we do know is that the skills, focus and passion required were incredible. For the maker this wasn't a job, it was an obsession and transcended mere 'work'. Making something amazing or doing something revolutionary is not done by people simply doing their 'job' or 'work'. It is done by people following their dreams and fulfilling their passions in life and having the determination and drive to develop the skills and network to make it happen. Follow your passions to make success happen. Credit- archeohistories

Happy #TransformationTuesday fam! Climb the steps of #failure with a spring in your step, a song in your heart, a driving determination in your gut, and the guiding light of inspiration in your eyes, for it is these steps that eventually will lead you to the top of the Stairway to Heaven! Sometimes it is necessary to "go through Hell" before you get to Heaven! While the road to Hell may be paved with good intentions, the road to Heaven is paved with consistent action, small wins and yes... failed attempts and learned lessons. So fail forward and fail fast, my friend. The only person who never failed is one who never tried, who never took a risk! "To know and appreciate success, one must first experience failure. Without first experiencing failure, one cannot recognize true progress. And if progress is not an aspiration, effort has no purpose." ~ Lisa G Pearlman Without struggle, success is an empty and meaningless concept. It is the journey, in all its guts and glory, that makes the destination so deliciously satisfying and rewarding." ~ Lisa G Pearlman The Obstacle is the Way! This concept is best expressed in the words of Theodore Roosevelt, below. "The Man in the Arena" is cited by many as his greatest quote. #success #failure #theobstacleistheway

Last week, I found myself in an unexpected face-off with two ancient Egyptian warriors. While it was all in good fun, this moment reminded me of something deeper, the timeless power of resilience and adaptability. The ancient Egyptians thrived because they mastered the art of working with their environment, innovating with what they had, and staying relentless in their pursuits. In a fast-paced, ever-changing world, aren’t these the same traits we need today? Whether we’re building our career, advancing sustainability, or pushing personal limits, the lesson is clear. Strength isn’t just physical, it’s about mindset, collaboration, and adaptability. What keeps you motivated to channel your inner strength when facing life’s challenges? #Inspiration #Resilience #Mindset

Iqbal’s Secret to Turning Dreams Into Reality Most people dream of success while sitting comfortably. But here’s the truth: Comfort kills dreams. Iqbal didn’t believe in living a mediocre life. He believed in rising above the ordinary. His words shake the soul: "Nahi tera nasheman qasr-e-sultani ki gumbat par. Tu shaheen hai, basera kar paharon ki chatano mein." Translation? Your place is not beneath the royal palace’s dome. You are a falcon—your home is the rugged peaks of mountains. Stop seeking ease. Stop chasing comfort. Dream big, but make sure your actions match the size of those dreams. The sky belongs to those who dare to fly higher. What’s stopping you from soaring today? P.S. Dreams come alive when you step out of your comfort zone.

Describe a friend! When the characteristics of one person, the compatibility of the characteristics of another is found. His thoughts, consciousness, the imagination of thoughts, the past, present, future are all tied together by the same formula, an invisible thread. The difference between space and time cannot be hidden in anything. It was then that the friendship of the two souls flourished. The entire human race of this world is created by one creator. Here it is established. The reality of this world is that it is full of different religions, multiple gods and many different thoughts. So despite being of different religions, similarities in human characteristics can be found. When one analyzes one's innermost issues, the other extends a hand of friendship to him. Then a divine harmony was born between the two. May the journey of all be blessed by the mercy of the great Rabbul Alamin. Both honesty and hard work are the keys to success.

Fate versus Determination 🔥 I don't know about you guys But this topic always has my attention Whenever I land a client in either one of my field I ask myself was I destined for it? 🤔 Or it just the outcome of a determined work? Two questions that are philosophical And to get an answer of it, I've applied a very simple way ✅ I always think why I'm doing this ✅ I think of it as an opportunity that is given by god ✅ I think of it as a way that can improve myself I think of it as a manner to increase my riches These helps me to simplify this all confusion Just forget whether it was fated ➡️ Always believe that it is your fault, things are not turning out for you ➡️ Obviously, not in an extreme manner but understand Evolution is a constant process Use it when it counts And once you get the results! It doesn't matter whether it was fate or determination P.S: What do you think is it fate or determination?

☀️Greetings Fellow Professionals☀️ Here is to a Powerful Productive and Prosperous Day☀️Good Morning Blessings To Everyone☀️ ⚡To Progress in life honesty with oneself is key⚡. ⚡Success will require us to follow one major rule, Never Lie to ourselves⚡. ⚡(SELF-REFLECTION IS THE SCHOOL OF WISDOM)⚡ ⚡Being honest with ourself takes courage and character, integrity, morality and self-respect⚡. ⚡Once we've been honest, first with ourself, we'll find the courage and willingness to be honest with others, all without any fear to their reactions and remaining prideful of our personal actions⚡. ⚡We must be so proud of our personal truths that at the end of our day we could be excited when viewing ourselves in the mirror, and sleep well because of how truthful and genuine we continue to be⚡. ⚡We're well aware as adults, that no matter what we do right or wrong in life personally or professionally, privately or publicly, we absolutely know there's no escaping it, especially when we have to look at ourselves in the mirror, and reflect on our actions, motives and intentions⚡. ⚡Although So many choose to live their lives in a pool of lies and deceitfulness without shame, reality always shows up and exposes their Truths, We've all witnessed it plenty of times⚡. The Late Great Nelson Mandela Said, I Quote: ⚡"As I have said, the first thing is to be honest with yourself. You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself"⚡. ⚡Self reflection is scary, but necessary for growth, fear not, for what is in the dark must come out to light⚡.
