Afghanistan Rich In Lithium. Right now, while you are reading this, most likely you are holding a piece of Afghanistan in your hand!! Don’t believe me?!! Let me tell you the story! Whenever you see a Western country invade another country in the name of “spreading freedom and democracy”, you must first ask the following question:
What natural resources does the invaded country have
After all, there are a total of 49 dictatorships in the world: 23 in Asia, 22 in Africa, 3 in the Americas, and 1 in Europe. (This depends on how you define a dictatorship of course) so why do they leave the 47 other countries alone?!!
If the intention of the US was to spread democracy, then there are 3 countries just next door to them in Central America, and if Europe and NATO wants to do the same, there is 1 dictatorship IN THE HEART OF EUROPE right now on their borders! (Belarus)
So why go that far then from home?!! The answer for Iraq was obvious: Oil (petrol). But for Afghanistan, what is that resource that deserves a 20 year war?!!
The answer is one short word you are holding now: LITHIUM, in addition to other rare-earth minerals!
Whether you are holding a smart phone or a laptop now , you wouldn’t be able to use them without the Lithium-ion batteries!
Lithium, the 3rd chemical in the periodic table , is a special element which Allah has created, and has 5 special characteristics that no other element on this earth has! For example:
1 – It is the lightest metal on earth. So light, it can float on water !!
2 – We think that metals are usually very hard, but pure lithium is SO SOFT like butter , you can even cut it with a non-sharp knife!
3 – Because of this, lithium could be added to other metals as an alloy to make them lighter or even bendable!
4 – Lithium hydroxide is used in space ships and submarines to purify CO2 from the air into oxygen.
5 – The electrons of lithium in your phone battery gets organized in a certain pattern when you charge your phone, then releases the energy thereafter.
Not only lithium, but the total cost of iron, copper, cobalt, gold, and others is estimated to be over one TRILLION dollars (a million millions!)
For all these crucial functions, many big countries had their eyes on the huge reserves of Afghanistan’s lithium! If the Afghan people are left in peace, both from outside and inside, and get the proper education, Afghanistan would become the 17th biggest economy in the world, and many of us would line up to get job contracts and move there because of the wonderful nature, kind people, and amazing food in this unique location in the heart of Asia!
Next time you charge your phone battery, remember Afghanistan and pray for them! May Allah protect this Ummah from any plots against them, preserve the treasures and resources in our lands to be used for good things, and give us good leaders who care about the people and make them live in peace and good life. Ameen!

Malaysia is among the countries with high rates of late night sleep statistics.
1. Sleep is just as important as we need water, food and air.
2. We are not healthy while our sleeping routine is unhealthy. People with insufficient sleep will lose focus, make difficult decisions, and become forgetful.
3. Sleep deprivation is a leading cause of many illnesses including depression, heartburn at night, diabetes and heart disease.
4. If sleep is no longer part of the habit it will cause the person to suffer mental, irrational, paranoid and hallucinations.
5. If a teenager likes to sleep late at night (at 1am for social / gadgets) it can be the cause of the child being disciplined and having problems in the social setting)
6. Lack of sleep will reduce one’s quality of life. What kind of quality would it be if it was just 9 o’clock in the morning so heavy eyes would evaporate? The boss must be angry.
7. The immune system will be weakened, because if we do not get enough sleep the white blood cells in our body will decrease.
8. Sleep deprivation also accelerates aging because our skin and cells are only renewed when we sleep. Lack of sleep means that the “renew & repair” process is not optimal, so wrinkles are fast. OMG.
9. Depression and anti-social. People who do not sleep well are easy to laugh, have no laughs and are hard to comfort. Quickly angry and often tired. Oh my gosh.
Some people find it hard to lose their eyes, right? As he thought, glaring at his head. Alternatively, relax, do yoga, drink milk @ eat Ostematrix pills, put on aromatherapy diffusers, read, relax, study or take a warm bath before going to bed.
The cockroach theory for self development
A beautiful speech by Sundar Pichai -an IIT-MIT Alumnus and Global Head Google Chrome:
The cockroach theory for self development
At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady.
She started screaming out of fear.
With a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach.
Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky.
The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but …it landed on another lady in the group.
Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama.
The waiter rushed forward to their rescue.
In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter.
The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt.
When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant.
Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the antenna of my mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was the cockroach responsible for their histrionic behavior?
If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed?
He handled it near to perfection, without any chaos.
It is not the cockroach, but the inability of those people to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach, that disturbed the ladies.
I realized that, it is not the shouting of my Mom or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but it’s my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs me.
It’s not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that disturbs me.
More than the problem, it’s my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life.
Lessons learnt from the story:
I understood, I should not react in life.
I should always respond.
The women reacted, whereas the waiter responded.
Reactions are always instinctive whereas responses are always well thought of.
A beautiful way to understand…………LIFE.
Person who is HAPPY is not because Everything is RIGHT in his Life..
He is HAPPY because his Attitude towards Everything in his Life is Right..
