Abdul Al Halim Hafez

Abdul Al Halim Hafez was an Egyptian singer. He was born in 1929 in a small village called Alhlwat. His parents died a few months after his birth. He studied in the High Institute of Music.. He began to be a famous star at the time of the revolution of Egypt in 1952. He sang revolutionary songs, so it was said that he was the "Son of Revolution." He suffered from Bilharzia and that prevented him from acting more in Egyptian cinema. He did at least 12 movies in his life. The first movie was "Lhan Alwafa". The last movie was "Abe Fok Alsagra." Because he was a brilliant star there were many rumours around him but I think the strongest rumour in his life and after his death was his marriage to the actress Swad Hasny. Finally, the Arab nation lost the greatest singer in 1977 in London.

The Hope

There's always hope whatever the cause is! Don't ever be hopeless. But that comes with willpower and also patience. Just know what you want very well, then remember those 3 things, and work on it "Insha'a Allah" you'll get it. There's nothing impossible, just be optimistic.

Everyone has his or her ambitions and dreams, but the problem is they dont work for their ambitions or dreams. They only say, "I want that ,"or "I hope..". They should tire for that. One of the best experiences I've read about, is Brooke Ellison. That girl graduated from Harvard University, and she's quadriplegic.

She's really exemplary and I can't imagine how she felt when she took the degree of the university. I hope to meet her and listen to her speeches. I would say to her, "Congratulations! You did what some able people can't do." And I will "In sha'a Allah"...

When you have a hard situation, don't be afraid of that, just remember what I said.

Best wishes,

Oprah

She is the best woman in the world. I love her so much. She teaches me how to be strong and believe in myself. She said nothing happens by chance in this life. Everything is destiny and a gift from God. Sometimes when I feel sad or hopeless, just watching her on TV gives me alot of hope. She always encourages me to be more strong and to work harder to get what I want. As she said, education is freedom. So I started learning English because she made me love this language. I am waiting for that day when I will understand her when she speaks without translation. I believe one day I will meet her and tell her how much I love her.
