			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have specific goals for yourself and you are determined to reach them then congratulations &#8211; a solid goal along with a firm plan is the important first step towards success.</p>
<p> Are you extremely ambitious?<br />
 Do you want to reach massive amounts of success?<br />
 Do you dream of doing something incredible? </p>
<p>Whether your ultimate goal is <strong> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.www.subliminalmp3s.com/?alid=195888">slimming down, starting a successful business, , or becoming more assertive and confident</a></strong>, a firm plan, along with a focus on your goal are crucial.</p>
<p>However, if you&#8217;re really serious about wanting to achieve your goal then you&#8217;ll most likely try everything possible to give yourself the edge &#8211; perhaps reading around the subject, analyzing other people who have previously completed the goal, and trying different things to see what assists you best.</p>
<p>Some people are reluctant to ask for help, or even to look for help themselves, but this is not something to be embarrassed with &#8211; many of the most successful people in areas of sport and entrepreneurial pursuits especially read self improvement books, and try out several different things to help give them an edge and help them to achieve success.</p>
<p>Tiger Woods for instance was already focused on turning into a world class golfer, and obviously he put in lots of physical practice, but he also looked for additional tools to help him obtain that competitive edge and sculpt his thoughts for achieving success &#8211; among the things he tried both hypnosis and subliminal messaging have been his favorites.</p>
<p>Stephen Speilberg, also looked for <strong>alternate means of acquiring an advantage and becoming successful.</strong> When he was new he did a lot of &#8220;modeling&#8221; other people&#8217;s actions and behavior &#8211; he even got a new suit and hung around the film studios pretending to be a producer &#8211; he wanted to get into the minds of the people he wanted to be like, and consider using any means he possibly could to reach success. Again, he also became an advocate of subliminal messaging &#8211; later claiming that it helped &#8220;give him a boost and keep him devoted to his goal&#8221;.</p>
<p>If you are serious about accomplishing your goals then you need to do everything you possibly can to achieve success. A proven way, as mentioned above is by using <strong><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.www.subliminalmp3s.com/?alid=195888"> subliminal messaging</a></strong>. It works as a mild type of hypnosis, by penetrating your mind with optimistic messages repeatedly until they&#8217;re acknowledged by you, and start to change areas of your personality, and your self beliefs in a optimistic way.</p>
<p><strong><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.subliminalmp3s.com/?alid=195888"> Visit <a href="http://SubliminalMP3s.com" title="http://SubliminalMP3s.com" target="_blank">SubliminalMP3s.com</a> today and try subliminal messaging for yourself</a></strong></p>
<p>    <span style="font-size:90%;font-style:italic"><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A goal setting worksheet can really help you set better goals. Yet with so many different worksheet versions out there, figuring out which one to use &#8212; and how to use it &#8212; can be quite a challenge. As it turns out, not every worksheet is right for every person.</p>
<p>So how do you choose the right goal setting worksheet for you? First of all, it helps if you know how you plan to use them &#8212; because once you know that, you&#8217;ll also know which ones are the most suitable for you &#8212; and even how to make your own. So go ahead and read on to discover the key ways to use them.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll find that those worksheets really are a great resource for every part of the goal setting process, from figuring out your core values to mapping up your goals all the way to creating the individual action steps. So here are the five key ways to use such a worksheet as you go through the goal setting process:</p>
<p>1) Determine your core values</p>
<p>Write down your main values, and then whittle them down by crossing out the ones that are somewhat negotiable &#8212; until you&#8217;re left with your top five or so values that you can&#8217;t live without. Then order those from 1 to 5.</p>
<p>2) Match your values up with your goals</p>
<p>Figure out what you want and then check if your tentative goals are in alignment with your core values. If they&#8217;re not, try another goal or find ways to make the goal fit better with your core values. Be sure to be honest here. Don&#8217;t kid yourself.</p>
<p>3) Make your goals seductive</p>
<p>Write down the things you&#8217;ll get to enjoy when you have achieved your goals. Think about them in great detail, in sensory terms, one at a time. Make each of them come alive. Taste it, smell it, and imagine what it will fell to have what you&#8217;re working towards. You can even add a checklist for creating reminder note cards that you can take with you wherever you go.</p>
<p>4) Cut your goals down to size</p>
<p>Big and bold goals may be motivating, but they can also be mighty intimidating. Don&#8217;t let that stop you. Use your goal setting worksheets to cut your big goals down to size.</p>
<p>What does that mean? It means that you create specific action steps for each of them. Remember that famous Chinese quote about the 1000 mile road that begins with the first step? That&#8217;s what you should aim for. Write down a first step for each of your goals. Then another one. Then another one. Write as many as you can think of &#8212; but don&#8217;t stress out if you can&#8217;t think of more than the first one or two. The third step will become obvious once you have completed step one and two.</p>
<p>5) Schedule your first steps</p>
<p>On the last goal setting worksheet you should schedule your action steps. In fact, make it a checklist where you can cross off the steps you have taken. And even though it&#8217;s not a worksheet, don&#8217;t ignore your calendar. Whatever you use, a PDA or an old-fashioned Week-at-a-Glance calendar &#8212; schedule your steps, and you&#8217;ll be on your way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Women&#8211;They, who wear skirts, stay at home to attend to the family&#8217;s needs and work on household&#8211;that&#8217;s all in the past. If men were define according to how they were in the past&#8211;wears pants, has places in high court, dominates over everything especially female species, the hero and everything that would say &#8220;macho&#8221; on them&#8211;well it&#8217;s time to think it over. </p>
<p>Imagine there was a time warp somewhere during the time of King Arthur, what would his men think if they entered this warp and find themselves in this present day and age? </p>
<p>For a girl it may be great to imagine a shock looking knight learning about the existence of Lara Croft who seems manlier than her men. Then there are also leaders who are women in countries like the Philippines. This is not a mere spectacle of how women are beginning to know the meaning of &#8220;domination&#8221;; this is merely stating the difference of women then and now.</p>
<p>There was this film based on the life of courtesan Veronica Franco entitled Dangerous Beauty. She lived in the time when men hold the power and women are but mere possessions. It was a time when even marriage was based on social standings and not because of love. A woman was not free to be educated nor is she free to be with the man she wishes to marry.</p>
<p>Women back then were once placed only for homes and chores. There are those who simply can&#8217;t even speak up their minds and are limited only to reading and writing&#8211;no more than that. There were more taught on cooking, washing the clothes, attending to the needs of the babes and knitting.</p>
<p>During the scene when Veronica Franco was to confess of her sins, she thus said something that really gave an impact of why she chose to be a courtesan rather than marry someone from her stature: &#8220;I confess I have embraced a whore&#8217;s freedom over a wife&#8217;s obedience.&#8221;</p>
<p>Freedom&#8211;women back then had no freedom in totality. They were bounded especially their decisions. The only ones who were considered lucky are those who were born of aristocracy having said to have everything plus the fact that the courtesans for their educations (although I am honestly not so sure whether to consider them indeed lucky). Life then was limited for women unlike now.</p>
<p>We have seen it as the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.backgroundpi.com/public-records.php" title="Public Records - <a href="http://BackgroundPI.com" title="http://BackgroundPI.com" target="_blank">BackgroundPI.com</a>&#8220;><strong>public records</strong></a> their achievements and ‘till now it keeps on making us see even more&#8211;&#8221;Women in power&#8221;. They have grace and they have the determination to make it big in their chosen field. There are not for stay-at-homes anymore as they become more of the adventurous types who are ready to take on the world. </p>
<p>One such femme persona to take note on is Filipina Formula 3 racecar driver Gaby De La Merced. Car racing as we all know is just for men. These are also considered as extreme sports yet this gal take things into her own accord. She also plays soccer if you must know. The sporty look was always for the boys only yet this is one girl who seems not to take things differently.</p>
<p>They are now born to be anything they want to be. Women nowadays are not kept inside shelters and under the supervision of men. Daughters are not bound anymore by what their family decides for them. Public records show women to be more daring and are game to try anything they set their eyes on.</p>

</p></div>
<p align="justify">It&#8217;s a talent that everyone has, yet they think they don&#8217;t. The power of innovation. If you&#8217;ve ever marveled at somebody&#8217;s creative prowess, guess what, you can create and innovate too. It just takes time. Everyone is born creative. The box of crayons in kindergarten were not limited to those who possessed potential; because the truth is, everybody has potential. </p>
<p align="justify">You know how long it took to learn to ride a bike or drive or to never commit the same mistake again? It&#8217;s the same with innovation. It takes a&#160; bit of practice and a lot of time before this mind function comes easily&#160; when called. This article will teach you a few tips on how to bring innovation into your life. </p>
<p align="justify">Don&#8217;t listen to what other people say. Follow the beat of your own drum. Allowing for the input of other people will only bring cacophony to the music you are trying to make. If you have an original idea, don&#8217;t waste your time and effort trying to make people understand. They won&#8217;t. And the help you will probably get comes in the form of negative feedback. If all those geniuses listened to their peers, we would probably still be living in the middle ages. </p>
<p align="justify">Spend time on it. I cannot stress that enough, although, please do not mistake this tip to tell you to quit your day job entirely. Do not. This involves some tricky time management but with a little discipline you&#8217;ll be able to squeeze both in. </p>
<p align="justify">Exercise. Take a walk. Run a mile or two. Send all those endorphins coursing through your veins. Exercising certainly clears and relaxes your mind and allows for anything to pop up. </p>
<p align="justify">Record your dreams. Aren&#8217;t some of them just the craziest things that your conscious mind would never have thought of? If you&#8217;ve had these dreams before, and I&#8217;m sure have, this only shows you the untapped innovative power you have lying within. So jot down those notes. Those dreams may just create an innovative spark in you. </p>
<p align="justify">Find your own style. You can always tell a Van Gogh from a Matisse. You&#8217;ll know Hemingway wrote something by the choice of words on the paper. So it is the same with you. People will appreciate your innovation more because it is uniquely yours and that no one else would have thought of what you were thinking. That will let people see how valuable an asset you are. </p>
<p align="justify">Don&#8217;t hide behind nifty gadgets or tools. You don&#8217;t need the most expensive set of paints to produce a masterpiece. The same way with writing. You don&#8217;t need some expensive fountain pen and really smooth paper for a bestseller. In fact, J.K. Rowling wrote the first book of the Harry Potter Series on bits of tissue. So what if you&#8217;ve got an expensive SLR camera if you&#8217;re a crappy photographer? Who cares if you&#8217;ve got a blinding laptop if you can&#8217;t write at all? The artist actually reduces the number of tools he has as he gets better at his craft: he knows what works and what doesn&#8217;t. </p>
<p align="justify">Nothing will work without passion. What wakes you up in the mornings? What keeps the flame burning? What is the one thing that you&#8217;ll die if you don&#8217;t do? Sometimes people with talent are overtaken by the people who want it more. Think the hare and the tortoise. Ellen DeGeneres once said that if you&#8217;re not doing something that you want to do, then you don&#8217;t really want to do it. And that&#8217;s true. Sometimes you just want something so bad you become a virtual unstoppable. And that is passion. Passion will keep you going. </p>
<p align="justify">Don&#8217;t worry about inspiration. You can&#8217;t force it; inspiration hits when you least expect it to, for those unpredictable yet inevitable moments you should prepare. An idea could strike you on the subway, yet alas, you poor unfortunate soul; you have no sheet of paper to scribble down a thought that could change the world. Avoid these disasters.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many times, <strong>life coach</strong>es are confused with therapists or psychoanalysts. If they treat successfully, then both can offer a life changing experience. But, generally <strong>life coach</strong>ing is considered for advice regarding current and future problems whereas therapists offer help regarding serious issues which affect a person due to their past. Both offer different options, <strong>life coach</strong>es are there for helping people in leading a better life and making positive behavioral changes. Following are some advice on how a person can get the best out of their coaching experience:</p>
<p>A person should know what they are committing to before hiring a <strong>life coach</strong>. As aforementioned, it is not therapy as <strong>life coach</strong>ing also helps in identifying problems, but it offers advice on how to make the present and future better instead of getting stuck in the past problems. The coaching can be altered according to user needs and are usually completed in smaller time period as compared to therapy.<br />
An open mind is necessary while going through a coaching session. Whether the problems could be regarding personal, professional, regarding weight loss or other issues; coaches give some home work or suggest inspiring CDs and books which might seem unorthodox, but are necessary.<br />
Proper research regarding the coaching and coach is necessary. One should know that their problem can be solved by a particular coach before committing to his/her services.<br />
Individuals undergoing coaching should do the work given by the coach as action is very necessary to change one&#8217;s lifestyle. Also, its outcomes are very good and lead to a happier and healthier individual.</p>
<p>    <span style="font-size:90%;font-style:italic"><br />
    If a person is seriously considering enhancing their life quality, then they should get the best out of the experience offered by their <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.instituteforcoaching.com/">Life Coach</a>.<br />

<strong>Track Cycling Exercise</strong>
</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Slalom</strong></p>
</p>
<p>The slalom is a basic skill track cycling exercise and often used part of a velodrome track accreditation test.</p>
<p>The slalom cycling track exercise is performed by a group of riders riding single file formation equal distances apart approximately two bike lengths apart midway up on the velodrome track banking on the blue line.</p>
<p>When all riders are in position the exercise can begin by the track cycling coach sounding a whistle.</p>
<p>When whistle is sounded the rider at the rear end of the group will make their way forward to the front of the group weaving through all the gaps between the other riders using a slalom technique.</p>
<p>Helps if the rider do not loose or gain too much height while weaving through the spaces as this creates to speed and changes the angle of attack causing the exercise to look more rushed than in control.</p>
<p>Riders only need to ride little more than shoulder width apart when riding over or under the other riders during the slalom ,</p>
<p>This track cycling exercise teaches riders to maintain constant speed without closing gaps and builds confidence riding close to other track riders.</p>
<p>It is important for new track cyclist to learns these skills, many road cyclist that cross over to track cycling during off season track training for winter fitness or to race indoors are not used to riding a fixed gear bicycle with no brakes.</p>
<p>I hope you find this information useful for your track cycling session weather you coach or ride a track cycling session.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Smoking is not only a dangerous habit it is also expensive. It costs a person literally hundreds if not thousands of dollars every year. With this in mind it is no wonder that so many people want to say goodbye to the demon smoke, quit for good and feel great. If this is something that you would like to do, here are some tips to help you.</p>
<p>One thing about smoking is that it is not only physically addicting but it is a psychological habit that is hard to break. You probably noticed that you always smoke at certain times like on the drive to work and after a meal. You need to replace that habit with a new one. When you feel the urge to smoke, do something else. This is a form of substitute behaviour and can really help you to break the lifelong habit.</p>
<p>Make your own custom quit smoking plan. Do this and you will feel much more in control of quitting smoking. Too many people fail because they try to use another person&#8217;s plan which does not take into account their personality. You need to decide if you are the type that can quit cold turkey or if you need to gradually reduce the amount of times you smoke. Do you need help? Don&#8217;t be afraid to research quit smoking aids as they can really help reduce the nasty withdrawal side effects.</p>
<p>Decide on a &#8220;smoke quit&#8221; date and stick to it rigidly. This will give you a sense of finality about saying goodbye to smoking. Having such a date in mind will also help you to focus your thoughts and get you ready.</p>
<p>Make sure that you let friends and family know about your plans to quit. Otherwise they might try to unwittingly tempt you to have a cigarette or misinterpret your mood. If you have friends that do smoke, you might want to stay away when they are smoking and if you go out at night, make sure you are not tempted to bum a cigarette and have &#8220;just one more&#8221;. In fact, for the first few weeks of quitting, it might be a good idea to avoid any situations where lighting up will be easy.</p>
<p>Throw out all of your smoking equipment. For some people this might only be ash trays and lighters whereas for others it might be rolling papers and filters. However you smoke ditch the equipment and feel great.</p>
<p>Consider taking up a hobby. You will find that it helps you to pass the time and takes your mind off lighting up. You will have something else to do that is not only fun but is not as expensive as smoking or as harmful. So if you are fighting the urge to smoke, quit with these tips and you will be glad that you did.</p>
<p>    <span style="font-size:90%;font-style:italic"><br />
    Did you know that people who use quit smoking aids have a much higher chance of stopping smoking than simply going <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.website-articles.net/addiction/quitsmokingcoldturkey.html">cold turkey</a>? If you smoke, quit now and make things easier on yourself! There are many aids that can help but you have to be careful to choose the one(s) that are right for you and avoid ones that can have harmful side effects. You can find out which ones to avoid and which are best with my free stop<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No matter how careful we are, there will always be times when our families are hit with a crisis. Whether it is a death in the family or an unexpected cost, these sudden difficulties have the power to crumble our sense of well being if we&#8217;re not careful. Handling a crisis with grace is something that is both difficult and empowering &#8212; and something I think that everyone should learn to do.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve all heard the old adage &#8220;Don&#8217;t sweat the small stuff, and it&#8217;s all the small stuff,&#8221; but the reality is that many of us are very affected by minor road bumps along the road of life. It is a drive that is not always smooth, and we should not expect it to be. Things happen, including not only those major crises but also smaller complaints. The kids don&#8217;t always cooperate as we all know, and the list of things that could throw a kink in our day only begins there. Sometimes the cashier at the coffee shop adds the wrong sweetener, and sometimes the store has run out of the product you&#8217;re looking for. If you remain aware of how you respond to these frustrations you will be surprised at how readily you react in ways that are less than productive.</p>
<p>The reactions you have to these minor frustrations can be an eye-opener to your preparedness for a more major catastrophe. In monitoring your reactions to day-to-day difficulties you can notice where you need work. Maybe you&#8217;re quick to anger, maybe you give up easily, and maybe you feel a situation is hopeless straight from the beginning. The reactions you have in these smaller challenges are often magnified when a more intense problem falls in our path. One caveat: don&#8217;t be so frustrated by the flaws you may find in your reaction that you are unable to address them productively.</p>
<p>Once you see where you have room for improvement when it comes to reaction to life&#8217;s difficulties you will be able to better yourself and grow as a person. Learning to step back and notice how unimportant it truly is that they didn&#8217;t hold the pickle, that you can take it off of your own burger, can be the most empowering and strengthening realization. Once you let go of these things, life will feel much smoother. And letting go of these daily stresses will make it so that when a crisis does become a part of your life you are more prepared to face the challenge.</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t prevent the fact that life happens, and not everything runs smoothly. But I do believe that we all have the power to alter our reactions to frustrations, both small and large. As you practice being mindful and learn to be calm you will reap benefits you never even imagined. The little difficulties life presents us with each day are practice for the time that the car wheel falls off on the highway. If you teach yourself to react less and just accept life as it happens you will be amazed at how strong you can truly be in times of crisis.</p>

<p>This is the first article of the series: &#8220;Who is cursed in Bible versus Quran&#8221;</p>
<p>In the Bible the Lord God says that the earth and the serpent are cursed.</p>
<p>The Earth is Cursed because of Adam; thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for Adam to eat; the serpent is cursed because of Eve and it will eat dust.</p>
<p>In the Quran, Allah has cursed Iblis (Satan or the Devil).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>==================================</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Who is cursed in the Bible? (1)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The following verses, Genesis 3: 1, 11-18, which talks about Adam and Eve, reveals some interesting facts; they are:</p>
<p>1-     God has cursed the Earth and the serpent                   </p>
<p>2-     The serpent is the craftiest animal and is the cause of Eve&#8217;s fall</p>
<p>3-     Eve is the cause of Adam&#8217;s fall</p>
<p>4-     Man rules over woman</p>
<p>5-     The serpent eats dust</p>
<p>6-     Adam was essentially vegetarian.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The verses Genesis 3: 1, 11-18 say:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The serpent is deceitful and skillful in evil schemes; it is craftier than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. The serpent said to Eve, &#8220;Did God actually say, &#8216;You shall not eat of any tree in the garden&#8217;?&#8221;</p>
<p>God said unto Adam, &#8220;Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I have commanded you not to eat from?&#8221;</p>
<p>Adam said unto the Lord God, &#8220;The woman (Eve) whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Lord God said to Eve, &#8220;What is this you have done?&#8221; Eve said, &#8220;The serpent deceived and beguiled me, and I ate.&#8221;</p>
<p>God said unto the serpent, &#8220;Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.&#8221;</p>
<p>God said unto Eve, &#8220;I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Lord God said unto Adam, &#8220;Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, &#8216;You must not eat of it,&#8217; &#8220;Cursed is the ground (the Earth) because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it (the Earth) all the days of your life; thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field.&#8221;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>==================================</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Who is cursed in the Quran? (1)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The following verses, 15:26-44, which talks about Adam&#8217;s creation, reveals some interesting facts; they are:</p>
<p>1-     Allah created the jinn before the creation of Adam</p>
<p>2-     Allah created Adam of black mud that stinks; this indicates that the Bacteria (stinks) were mixed with the clay-Adam. These bacteria would form later on the normal body flora in the living-Adam.  This normal body flora comprises 60-70% of the immunity of any human being including Adam.</p>
<p>3-     Allah celebrated the creation of Adam by commanding the Angels to prostrate once the clay-Adam turns out to be the living Adam when Allah places the spirit into him. This prostration is the Angel&#8217;s greeting for Adam and it is a great honor for mankind.</p>
<p>4-     The Angels prostrated save the too proud Iblis (Satan) who was standing among the angels, watching Adam&#8217;s creation.</p>
<p>      5- Then, there was a dialogue between Allah and Satan.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The verses 15:26-44 say:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Allah created the jinn before the creation of Adam of smokeless fire, of permeative fire that can escape through openings.</p>
<p>Allah created Adam of black mud that stinks.</p>
<p>Allah said to the angels, &#8220;Indeed I am going to create a mortal out of clay of black stinking mud&#8221;. &#8220;So, when I have proportioned him, when I created his hands, legs, eyes and the rest of him and I have breathed into him of My Spirit, so that he becomes a living thing, fall down in prostration before him!&#8217;</p>
<p>And so, the angels fell prostrate to Adam, all of them together. Except Iblis (Satan or the Devil), he was [standing] among the angels: he felt too proud and refused to be among those prostrating to Adam.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then, there was a dialogue between Allah and Satan (Iblis):</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Allah said: O Iblis! Why you are not among those prostrating? Why do you not prostrate to Adam?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Satan said: Why should I prostrate myself before a mortal whom you have created out of clay of black stinking mud; it is not becoming of me to prostrate to black stinking mud.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Allah said: ‘Then be gone from hence, that is, from standing among the angels — but it is also said, from the heavens — for you are indeed accursed, outcast, and banished from My mercy.  And indeed My curse and the curse of the angels and all created beings shall be upon you until the Day of Judgment, the Day of Requital.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Satan said: My Lord! Reprieve me until the day when they, mankind, shall be resurrected and are raised from the grave; the accursed did not wish to taste death.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Allah said: you are reprieved, you will be given respite. Till an appointed time, the time of the first blast of the Trumpet.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Satan said: ‘My Lord, because You have lead me astray I shall adorn for them all the evil acts in the earth and I shall lead all of them astray. Except those servants of Yours who are protected from me, who are sincerely devoted to You.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Allah said: The straight path leading to Me is the right and honored course.  Lo! As for My servants, the devoted believers, you shall have nether warrant nor power over them; except those who follow you from among the wicked, the disbelievers. And truly Hell shall be their destination; all those who follow and obey you shall be with you in Hell.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>===================================</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Bible: Genesis 3: 1, 11-18 (English Standard Version)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, &#8220;Did God actually say, &#8216;You shall not eat of any tree in the garden&#8217;?&#8221;</p>
<p>11He said, &#8220;Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?&#8221; 12The man said, &#8220;The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.&#8221; 13Then the LORD God said to the woman, &#8220;What is this that you have done?&#8221; The woman said, &#8220;The serpent deceived me, and I ate.&#8221;</p>
<p>14The LORD God said to the serpent, &#8220;Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.</p>
<p>15I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.&#8221;</p>
<p>16To the woman he said, &#8220;I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.&#8221;</p>
<p>17And to Adam he said, &#8220;Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, &#8216;You shall not eat of it,&#8217; cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;</p>
<p>18thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>==================================</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Quran: Verses 15:26-44 (Pickthal translation)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>﴿26﴾ verily we created man of potter&#8217;s clay of black mud altered,</p>
<p>﴿27﴾and the jinn did we create aforetime of essential fire.</p>
<p>﴿28﴾ and (remember) when thy lord said unto the angels: lo! I am creating a mortal out of potter&#8217;s clay of black mud altered,</p>
<p>﴿29﴾ so, when I have made him and have breathed into him of my spirit, do ye fall down, prostrating yourselves unto him.</p>
<p>﴿30﴾ so the angels fell prostrate, all of them together</p>
<p>﴿31﴾ save Iblis. He refused to be among the prostrate.</p>
<p>﴿32﴾ he said: o Iblis! What aileth thee that thou art not among the prostrate?</p>
<p>﴿33﴾ he said: I am not one to prostrate myself unto a mortal whom thou hast created out of potter&#8217;s clay of black mud altered!</p>
<p>﴿34﴾ he (Allah)  said: then go thou forth from hence, for lo! Thou art outcast.</p>
<p>﴿35﴾ and lo! The curse shall be upon thee till the Day of Judgment.</p>
<p>﴿36﴾ he said: my lord! Reprieve me till the day when they are raised.</p>
<p>﴿37﴾ he said: then lo! Thou art of those reprieved</p>
<p>﴿38﴾ till the day of appointed time.</p>
<p>﴿39﴾ he said: my lord! Because thou hast sent me astray, I verily shall adorn the path of error for them in the earth, and shall mislead them every one,</p>
<p> ﴿40﴾﴾ save such of them as are thy perfectly devoted slaves.</p>
<p>﴿41﴾ he said: this is a right course incumbent upon me:</p>
<p>﴿42﴾ lo! As for my slaves, thou hast no power over any of them save such of the froward as follow thee,</p>
<p>﴿43﴾ and lo! For all such, hell will be the promised place.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>========================</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The wisdom of Adam&#8217; story in the Quran:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1) Before Allah has given Adam the spirit to live, the clay-Adam was stinking; and after the spirit leaves the man when he dies, he will stink again.</p>
<p>2) So, the man&#8217;s beginning was stinking and the man&#8217;s end is eventually stinking too.  The spirit provided by Allah is between the two man&#8217; stink.</p>
<p>3) Our body is material + spirit.  We almost always give our material part its proper nourishment.  Also, our spirit part needs sustenance too by being connected to its Creator.  Unfortunately, most of us do not give their spirit part its proper nourishment; and that is why most us are not happy and will never ever be satisfied. Hence, the secret of happiness is in our spirit part.</p>
<p>4) It is Satan, not the serpent, who is our essential enemy.</p>
<p>5) In other verses of the Quran, both Adam and Eve ate from the tree at the same time; so Eve was not the cause of Adam&#8217;s fall.</p>
