...I have a strong interest in Creighton University’s Pharm D program because of the spiritual and religious values that it holds as a Jesuit school. One of these values that I resonate with is the pursuit of finding God in all things. This pursuit began in similitude to a famous poem by Khalil Gibran of a seeker’s quest for God “In the ancient days, when the first quiver of speech came to my lips, I ascended the holy mountain and spoke unto God, saying, ‘Master, I am thy slave. Thy hidden will is my law and I shall obey thee for ever more.’ But God made no answer, and like a mighty tempest passed away.” I also struggled in finding God in my life, it was difficult to see past the grime of poverty and suffering. The answer came in helping those in greater need than me. The scale and impact didn’t matter as much as a passion for humanitarianism. Goodness in action rather than in thought and began what would become a lifelong passion for community activism. I worked with refugees and displaced persons, volunteering for a government agency to provide them with daily necessities. After immigrating to America I found my calling in a local nonprofit organization whose mission statement reads “to help women in need regain their strength emotionally and financially for a stronger family”. The organization was a means for me to help others who had gone through the same emotional, financial, and cultural problems as they attempted to shape their lives in America. It wrought an inner peace and...

...“You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but seeing an imperfect person perfectly.” On Love Khalil Gibran What is love? Is it just a plain four-letter word? There is no concrete definition of the word “love”. It maybe just a word, but it can drown you from its deepest meanings. And it is an indefinite argument when we talk about it. Others might say that it is just a fraud, that it does not last long and it only exists in novels and movies. But for me, love is like a blue diamond, finding will be difficult because it’s so rare. And when the moment comes and you finally have it, you will realize that it was worth your sacrifices. The people who have realized the meaning of life have only spoken to those who can understand love, because love is the meaning of life. And very few of us have realized that love is our very flame. It is not the air we breathe, not the food we eat nor the water we drink, it is love: which keeps us not only alive but also gives us a life of beauty, hope, faith, truth, sincerity and millions of other things having a value beyond any price that no money can buy. Khalil Gibran’s “On Love” is an eye-opener for us to take risks; that we must have an optimistic approach towards love and allow ourselves to go with the flow of love. That when it invites us, we should embrace it for it is an extreme of its kind that is rare and pure. We cannot wish for love to reach only a certain measure, or to presume that we can direct the way of its course,...

...Shakir Hussain Instructor: Dr. Hossain Al Mamun Reg # 2009236059 ENG 416 – Literature in Translation 4th Year 1st Semester Department of English September 2, 2013. Metaphor and Meaning: A Re-reading of The Prophet Abstract: The purpose of this study has been to investigate the metaphors and meaning in Kahlil Gibran’s (1883-1931) literary work The Prophet. Kahlil Gibran speaks in metaphors; perhaps that is the only way to speak about the truth. Through metaphor he gives indirect glimpses and spreads his philosophy of life. Every word in this book is a metaphor. Metaphors are used in this text to accelerate and enhance the meaning. The Prophet through its metaphors provides timeless spiritual wisdom on a range of subjects, including giving, eating and drinking, clothes, buying and selling, crime and punishment, laws, teaching, time, pleasure, religion, death, beauty and friendship. Corresponding to each chapter are evocative drawings by Gibran himself. Key Words: Metaphors, Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet, and Philosophy of Life. Kahlil Gibran is said to be the ‘People’s Philosophy’. Gibran’s The Prophet is a metaphor for the mystery of life. The author seeks the help of metaphoric language in order to present the confluence of philosophy and religion, experience and expectation, desire and duality of human life. The combination of poetic and prosaic style of this book is beautified by the use of many figures of speech. The passages of this book speak to soul....

...Darwin Quinde Comp.Lit March 1, 2012 An Essay on love Love is a huge feeling that carries many other emotions along with it. The common theme on the poems “Love one another” by Khalil Gibran, “Meeting at night” by Robert Browning and “If you forget me” by Pablo Neruda is that love is more than just being next to the person that we love. In the three poems we see that love is the main theme but it is presents it in a different point of view in each one. In the poem “love one another” by Khalil Gibran the narrator talks about how individuality is important for relationships. The narrator tells the readers that love shouldn’t be rigid and inflexible in the first line of the poem “Don’t make a bond of love” because it could cause the end of a relationship. The tone of voice in this poem is a little persuasive. The narrator is trying to convince us that doing things together is good for a relationship but there should be things that people should do individuality. For instance, “Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone” demonstrates the narrator’s tone of voice and how people need their own time. The author uses imagery to show how love isn’t just about being together but it is also about knowing how to adapt to different situations in life. A perfect example of it is “Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.” Which demonstrate that love shouldn’t be rigid and not changing but instead passive and changing. The Narrators...

...Does culture represents an important part of an individual identity? During her speech “Don't kill your language (TED talk)” Suzanne talhouk talks about her experience of being discriminated in her country because of using her own language. She explains the importance of preserving language and how it can prevent the death of a nation's soul and identity. She also explains how language is a very important part of culture and how culture is a very important part of your identity. Therefore, culture is seen as the main designer of identity. How we act, react, and see the world depends on the culture we came from. People might see things differently according to their culture. If culture does not give us our first principles what would? As Talhouk states, “Language represents specific stages in our lives, and terminology that is linked to our emotions”(Talhouk 3). Culture is the same. Every time we smell, see or listen to something, it might bring memories that only people from the same culture can remember. These memories shape the way we perceive things in a sense that what could be normal for a group of people, can be disturbing or weird for others from different cultures. According to Talhouk, “The Arabic language doesn’t satisfy today's needs… it definitely isn’t a language we use at the airport. If we did so, they’d strip us of our clothes” (Talhouk 1-2). She believes that she can not use Arabic in the airport because she knows that the Arabic language will bring memories...

...Independent Jamaica Ladies and gentlemen I would be a very rude person if I were to stand before you all today and say that Jamaica has not made significant progress over the last 53 years of independence. Jamaica has experienced much successes in the areas of tourism, music, sports and infrastructural development. We are a very proud and vibrant nation and are blessed to have some of the finest beaches, world class athletes, as well as we our reggae music which apparently has revolutionized the world at large. We have much to be thankful for. Now on the other hand, isn’t it ironic that despite all our successes, we still continue to suffer from economic instability? How then can we say that we are an independent nation? Independence ladies and gentlemen is defined by Dictionary.com as the freedom from control, influence, support and or from the likes of others. In my opinion Jamaica is an antonym to the word. Fifty three (53) years and yet still we are in bondage. We continue to look to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to fill the pot holes in our economy. We depend heavily on imports from America for food, clothing and entertainment. Most of the nation’s development is a direct result of debt and has nothing to do with strategic planning, structure and forecasting. Our politicians have made a mockery of our country and as result we are suffering from a disease called “corruption” which has many side effects that includes high murder rates, illiteracy, unemployment...

...Essence of Work According to Kahlil Gibran, “What is it to work with love? It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart, even as if you’re beloved were to wear that cloth. It is to build a house with affection, even as if you’re beloved were to dwell in that house. It is to sow seeds with tenderness and reap the harvest with joy, even as if you’re beloved were to eat the fruit. It is to charge all things you fashion with a breath of your own spirit, And to know that all the blessed dead are standing about you and watching.” Why is it that so many people are willing to tolerate work they don’t enjoy for the sake of a paycheck? I think it’s because most of them simply don’t know what it’s really like to be in love with their work. Their fear is greater than their power, so they never make the leap into the unknown to find out what it’s like to work from love instead of for money. Don’t settle for less than you’re worth. Demand of yourself that you’ll do work you love — or no deal. Your negative emotions aren’t there to annoy you or distract you. They’re shouting at you, “This is wrong. You must do something else.” No amount of self-discipline or denial can silence your inner truth. Instead of turning away from those feelings of fear and resentment, turn towards them. Engage them head on. Dialog with them. Journal your way through them. Tune in and listen to them as deeply as you can. Get in touch with that deeper part of yourself you’ve been wishing...

...The detective shifts her focus to Khalil’s past because they want to prove that Khalil was at fault and that he was the only one to blame for his death. They want it to look like officer Brian Cruise did the right thing by getting another “Drug Dealer” off the streets. I know this because on page 102 they ask the question “Now, do you know if Khalil sold narcotics?” and on page 103 Starr's mom says “You keep asking her about Khalil, like he's the reason he's dead.” This tells that the detectives want to put the blame on Khalil and not officer 115 for his death. They want people to know that Khalil was a drug dealer and that officer Brian Curis did them a favor by getting him off the streets. As the integration continued Starr got upset and...

...Harvard Business School 9-899-062 Rev. December 7, 1998 Walnut Venture Associates (A): RBS Group Investment Memorandum Ralph Wagner pulled his file on the RBS Group, a young company that developed and sold accounting software specifically targeted to software companies. Wagner was a private investor—an “angel”—and a member of an informal group of other investors known as Walnut Venture Associates. (See Exhibit 1 for background information on Walnut) RBS was seeking to raise $2 million in equity capital to fund its growth. Wagner had agreed to take the lead role in evaluating RBS as an investment opportunity for Walnut. While Wagner would spearhead the process, each individual would make his own decision about whether to invest in the company. It was December 26, 1997 and Bob O’Connor, RBS’s founder and CEO, had presented to the Walnut group one week ago. The group had been impressed with O’Connor, with RBS’s business focus, and with the fact that the company had a product, sales and even earnings. Based on this positive first impression, the group had decided to take the next step and begin a more in-depth investigation of the company and its prospects. Half a dozen or so “Walnuters” had indicated an interest in possibly investing, and it was up to Wagner to come up with a due diligence agenda for these individuals. He pulled out RBS’s plan (See Exhibit 2) and began to sort through the issues the group should investigate during this phase, as well as an agenda for the meeting...
