Qur'an 20210623

 In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

12.  Say to those who reject faith, "Soon will you be vanquished and gathered together to hell, an evil bed indeed!"

15.  Say, "Shall I give you glad tidings of things far better than those?  For the righteous are gardens in nearness to their Lord with rivers flowing beneath, therein is their eternal home with companions pure, and the good pleasure of Allah.  For in Allah's sight are God's servants."

(The Family of Imran 3:12,15)

Me and my attitude

 

Hi Natty!  How are you feeling today, Honey?  I hope you are feeling marvelous, and at peace with the world and your place in it.  Did I ever tell you that I used to be in sales?  People say you have to have a good attitude in order to do well in sales.  I found that I did best when my emotions were neutral, as opposed to being in a good or bad mood.  But I never wanted to be in sales, so inevitably my attitude became rotten.  Neither did I want to be in the food business.  However I am grateful for the knowledge in cooking that Allah granted me, so alhamdulillah for that.  Eventually every salesperson will have to talk to a stranger over the phone, and try to sell him/her something.  This guy above has some solid tips for phone sales plus he seems to enjoy what he does, which makes him a hundred times better salesman than me.  I got other shit to do.  It's not that I look down upon salespeople.  Did you know that prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) was a salesman before he became a prophet?
