Psychology?

Assalamu Alaikum,

I'm Phoenix and I'm in year 9. My options are coming real
fast and I am thinking about choosing Psychology for a
subject. I asked my brother, he says Psychology is too hard
for me.
What shall I do? By the way, I am very interested in the way
peoples mind work, motives and etc.
Plus, more importantly I'd like to know if this subject any how
goes against our religion. [I wouldn't mind anyones perception]

Heaven and Hell?

Assalamu alaikum brothers and sisters.

I have been having a debate with my father, about the heavens and hells.
I believe that there are seven heavens, and eight hells.
However, my father comepletely disagrees with me and says there are eight
Heavens and seven hells.
What should I believe?
Please give references for your views.

Smile!!!

Aslamualaikum everyone and peace be upon u all!

A year ago somebody told me that a smile is the lighning system of the face, the cooling system of the head and the heating system of the heart Smile

It's been a long time, since I remembered this little saying and yesterday I was at the supermarket and I saw a woman in a wheelchair, now I am a person who always smiles, so I didn't smile at this woman, because I felt sorry for her, I just smiled, because I know that a smile is a smile, no matter what it looks like it touches peoples hearts. And at first she was suprised that I smiled at her, but then she smiled back and ahe had the most beutiful smile ever, it really lightened up her face (she was 21). That is when I remembered what a smile was.

"How did you find it?"

I find this question extremely annoying, and i will use now as an occasion to rant. to talk about this week. and stuff.

So, you come out of the exam and the sole things on people's lips is "How did you find it?" then they have this expecting face on and they are slightly leaning forward...waiting for you to utter words of wisdom; these words will SURELY save their life and make them pass the exam..obviously.

I am solely against this act of going round asking random people "how did you find it?". What are people trying to GET out of this? Anyone wanna explain?

and what are you suppose to say? "hard" "easy" "alright" and then...*Awkward moment because your answer doesnt go with theirs*

What's the point, anyone wanna explain to this unsocial thing here?

Motivation

Aalamualaikum,
This little story is about a donkey's motivation. It just goes to show how In this world people will always throw stones in the path of our Success, it depends on us? What we make from them - a wall or a bridge.

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well that the farmer had accidentally left uncovered. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do? Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway, so it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

Farmer invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.

Oldham East and saddleworth, Take 2.

I mentioned before how I was not too fussed about who won in Oldham East.

But now I think there are two potential candidates to vote for:

1. Kashif Ali as the token Muslim Tory who almost turned it into a three horse race last time around.
2. Elwyn Watkins, the Lib Dem guy who should have won last time around.

and those are in no particular order. Why the sudden change?
