Success and failure according to the teachings
of The Original Gifts
Extracted from my Amazon Book
Towards a better life
Sabry Shaheen

Those who analyze the teachings of religions would realize
that the success involves obedience and good work to prove
the true faith
Business managers do not accept that each employee would
choose his own preferred way for doing business; they do
not agree with those who say ‘that is what is convenient for
us and that is what our fathers used to do
Driven by profit, productivity, and business improvement
requirements, managers bring external consultants who do
not have the pre-imposed limitations, they also consult other
business in different countries, then they ask everyone to
follow the same recommended procedures

Success and failure according to the
original gifts
The God who created people has empowered them with
original gifts; the gifts of minds, intelligence, and the
conscience are internal personal Prophets for each human to
guide him to the basic measures of the good things to do and
the bad things to avoid
Before we present the success guidelines according to what
God has revealed to the Prophets, we start with the
teachings of the normal wise people who did not claim that
they were prophets. The purpose is to clarify that the
guidance provided by the original gifts of intelligence and
conscience is similar to the guidance provided by the
prophets

The purpose also is to clarify that those who never heard of
Prophets are not forsaken because God has equipped them
by internal prophets and they will be guided to the wisdom
by their original gifts
Those who never heard of Prophets might have an easier
test; they might be saved if they follow their conscience.
Those who know the teachings of the prophets have a more
difficult test; they have to obey prophet’s teachings in
addition to following their original gifts
The fair teacher prepares easy tests for the children who are
in their first grade because they receive little education, but
he prepares more complex tests for the students of the
advanced degrees who receive more education

The common ground of all religions and all different sources
of wisdom is ‘the golden rule’
What you do not want done to yourself, do not
do to others.
Confucius
Do not do unto others whatever is injurious to
yourself. – Zoroaster, Shayast-na-Shayast 13.29
“Do not do to others what angers you if done to
you by others.” - Socrates
"What thou avoidest suffering thyself seek not to
impose on others."— Epictetus (55-135)

"Do not do to others what would anger you if
done to you by others." – Isocrates
Putting oneself in the place of another, one should
not kill nor cause another to kill – Buddha
One who, while himself seeking happiness, oppresses
with violence other beings who also desire
happiness, will not attain happiness hereafter. –
Buddha, Dhammapeada, 10
“Resolve to be tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the
striving and tolerant with the weak and wrong.
Sometime in your life, you will have been all of
these.” Gautama Buddha

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no
one may. We ourselves must walk the path
― Gautama Buddha, Sayings Of Buddha
“Remember always that you are just a visitor
here, a traveller passing through. Your stay is but
short and the moment of your departure
unknown.”
Dhammavadaka
“It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe,
that lures him to evil ways.”
― Gautama Buddha

“Long is the night to him who is awake; long is a
mile to him who is tired; long is life to the foolish
who do not know the true law.”
― Gautama Buddha
Do not believe in anything simply because you
have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is
spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is
found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority
of your teachers and elders.

Do not believe in traditions because they have
been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find
that anything agrees with reason and is conducive
to the good and benefit of one and all, then
accept it and live up to it
― Gautama Buddha
“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it
without.”
Gautama Buddha

Take small account of might, wealth and fame, for
they soon pass and are forgotten. Instead, nurture
love within you and strive to be a friend to all.
Truly, compassion is a balm for many wound
Faith is like a lamp and wisdom makes the flame
burn bright. Carry this lamp always and in good
time the darkness will yield and you will abide in
the Light
Dhammavadaka
However many holy words you read, however many
you speak, what good will they do you if you do
not act on upon them? Buddha
Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love;
this is the eternal rule
Buddha

One should never do that to another which one
regards as injurious to one’s own self. This, in
brief, is the rule of dharma. Other behaviour is due
to selfish desires. – Brihaspati, Mahabharata. Hinduism
Analysis of those teachings show that they are similar to the
prophet’s teachings, similar spiritual fruits from similar
gardens watered by the same spring , inspired and gifted by
the same great creator
He who sows the ground with care and diligence
acquires a greater stock of religious merit than he
could gain by the repetition of ten thousand
prayers
Zoroaster (c.628 - c.551)

It is the greatest good for an individual to discuss
virtue every day...for the unexamined life is not
worth living - Socrates
The safest course is to do nothing against one's
conscience. With this secret, we can enjoy life and
have no fear from death - Voltaire
The above refers to the original gifts like the conscience and
the intelligence; those are internal prophet within each human
to guide him to what is the right thing to do and to warn him
about the bad things to avoid
All sects are different, because they come from
men; morality is everywhere the same, because it
comes from God. - Voltaire
Men are equal; it is not birth but virtue that
makes the difference.
Voltaire

There is no harm when we follow such wise teachings taught
by those spiritual leaders who taught wisdom in order to
enable us to know the truth, so that the truth will set us free
Those wise people were humble, who came to serve others,
who accepted persecutions in order to guide the humanity,
who did not claim to be of divine nature, who did not ask
people to worship them
We do not have full knowledge about God, we cannot say
that he allows temptations so he is a bad God, we cannot say
that since God allows suffering then he is a bad God. God has
revealed that we are being tested and there are many things
we do not know. That was valid thousands of

years ago, it is valid now, it will be valid until the end of that
temporary life
Job did not claim to be a Prophet and he did not claim that he
had received revelations from God, but his understanding was
based on the original gifts; the mind and the conscience. He
understood that the spirit in us is the breath of God which
makes us understand
But it is the spirit in man, the breath of the
Almighty that makes him understand
Job 32:8
In his simple statement, he taught that the human mind is not
like the stand-alone computer of limited memory and
intelligence, but it is connected to the network of unlimited
source of wisdom; connected to God. God does not store
everything in the human minds, but he listens, communicates,
answers the prayers, and enlightens us so that we know

what is right and what is wrong, and provides much more
resources of wisdom to those who use their original gifts, to
those who think and who communicate with their
conscience
When the student ignores to study his books; we cannot
blame the teacher who gave the books and who urged the
students to study hard in order to succeed. Similarly, we
cannot blame God who gifted people with minds and
conscience when people fail to think
Those who think, and ask God to help them understand,
they could be guided to the wisdom

The religion teachers who teach that ‘Only our Prophet is the
real Prophet of God, only our religion is the true religion, we
have the only way for salvation” those must be wrong
because they cannot prove that other Prophets are wrong;
only God knows those who have received his revelations
We do not have enough knowledge to say “that person have
not received revelation from God”, but we can compare the
teachings against the teachings of Moses, Jesus and the
similar consistent teachings by other Prophets and we can
always ask God to guide us to the truth; the God who
created us knows how to deliver his message to the people
he created and he knows how to answer our prayers
