Elephants Chain VS The Falling Of Berlin Wall ======================== The fall of the Wall has shown us that dreams can come true. ======================== Commemorating The 25th Anniversary of the Fall of The Berlin Wall ======================== Fall of the Berlin Wall: Balloons released to mark fall The 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall will be celebrated on 9 November 2014. The Berlin wall was built by the East German government to seal off East Berlin from the part of the city occupied by the three main western powers (USA, Great Britain and France). The two countries remained divided until November 1989. ======================== Thousands of illuminated balloons have sailed into the night sky from the former route of the Berlin Wall, as German Chancellor Angela Merkel said its fall 25 years ago proved that dreams can come true. The flight of the glowing white orbs through the heart of Berlin marked the climax of a huge open-air party at the Brandenburg Gate, the symbol of German unity, which drew an estimated one million guests to the city. A quarter-century after the breach of Europes Cold War division, artists had tethered nearly 7000 balloons along a 15-kilometre stretch of the despised concrete barriers former 155-kilometre path, making it visible once again. As the balloons were released and floated to the heavens, the Berlin State Orchestra, under the baton of Daniel Barenboim, played Beethovens Ode to Joy. Earlier British singer Peter Gabriel sang a stripped-down version of David Bowies Wall anthem Heroes, sharing the stage with rock bands from east and west Germany and former dissidents. Merkel, 60, who grew up in communist East Germany, said earlier at a memorial for those killed trying to escape the repressive regime that the Wall was a symbol of state abuse cast in concrete that broke many people. In an unusually emotional speech, Merkel said: We can change things for the better - that is the message of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Merkel said the events inspired hope that the world can tear down walls of dictatorship, violence, ideology and hostility. Too good to be true? A daydream that will burst like a bubble? No, the fall of the Wall has shown us that dreams can come true. ======================== Oppressed VS Oppressors ======================== Break the chains, Awaken the real you Dare to defy the limits ======================== The chains that bind us from freedom are usually our mental status, but not our physical ability ======================== Safia Simon ======================== “There are no failures, just experiences and your reactions to them!” ======================== Tom Krause ======================== There is a story about a man who, as he was passing some elephants, suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. ======================== No chains, no cages. ======================== It was obvious that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not. He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.” The man was amazed. ========================= These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were. Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before? I think every one of us can relate to this story and the feeling of having failed at something or another over the years. Over time, we can begin to think that we are not capable of doing a particular thing and we accept this as the truth and limit ourselves to a very confined world. We think to ourselves ‘ah I tried that before and it didn’t work out, what is the point in trying it again and wasting my time, I don’t want to look like a fool!’ And this is how we start to shrink and contract and settle for a life that is ‘safe’ and ‘less than exciting’. However, if we could look at all the so-called ‘failures’ in our lives as just stepping stones along our path and decide to respond in a way that is positive, saying ‘ah well, at least I tried, now I know what doesn’t work so it makes my next attempt clearer!’ Treat it like a process of elimination, gathering momentum and staying focused on what we would like to achieve, trying this way and that until we succeed! So, don’t limit yourself to a small world, stop confining yourself to a life that is restricted, break free of your mental boundaries and expand out into this magnificent kingdom that we live in! The world is your oyster! Don’t confine yourself any longer to the belief that you can’t do something, shatter those thoughts and beliefs and spread your wings and fly! YOU can do anything you set your heart on, if you just believe it! Go on, just try it and never mind what the outcome is, just enjoy every experience you encounter in your life and embrace every bit of it! So what if it takes you 10 attempts or 100! Which will you regret more… the things you did or the things you didn’t do?! It’s all a journey so let’s make it AWESOME! You will never know how far you can go until you have the courage to do it! And if you fall, just get up again… that’s all! ======================== World Of Oppressed VS World Of Oppressors ======================== The oppressed people will be victorious over their tyrants and oppressors, only when they realise that the price of their freedom is more valuable than living their life under oppression and tranny ======================== Remember that it always seems impossible until its done ======================== Take for example the 25th anniversary of the falling of Berlin wall ======================== The Berlin Wall was both the physical division between West Berlin and East Germany from 1961 to 1989 and the symbolic boundary between democracy and Communism during the Cold War. ======================== No one in the world could ever Imagine that Berlin Wall could ever fall even as far as one week before its actually fell in 1989 ======================== This is what Im talking about No one can ever undermined the will and the power of the people ======================== The Glorious Quran Surat Ar-Rad 13:11 ======================== إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّى يُغَيِّرُواْ مَا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ======================== 13:11 Verily never will Allah change the condition of a people until they change it themselves (with their own souls). ========================
