What Do You Still Want?

I only want peace and calm in my life. Because peace and calm are the biggest blessings from Allah, I am always thankful for all the blessings He has bestowed on me. Gratitude is a beautiful virtue that brings contentment and peace.

Looking Back at Predictions and Future Aojis

When I was younger, many predictions were made that have yet to materialize. For instance, commercial fusion power plants, once thought to be just ten years away in the 1970s, still seem like they are decades away. Similarly, there were promises about varnish treatments for teeth to prevent cavities, which have not yet become mainstream.

Good health is paramount to me, as it is to many. I have reached 'peak stuff,' a point where I realized that accumulating material possessions does not bring lasting contentment. A few years ago, I set a goal to buy everything I had always wanted but couldn't afford. Now, I am focused on fixing up old and unloved items, which bring joy and a sense of accomplishment. While these items provide temporary pleasure, I have learned that true fulfillment comes from within and not from external possessions.
