ومـدجج كـره الكماة نزالـه الممعـن

هـربا وال مستسلـمـف جـادت يداي له بعاجل طعنـة بمثق

صدق الكعوب مقـوممح األصم ثيابـه ليـس فشككـت بالر

م الكريم على القنا بمحـربـاع ينشنـه يقضمـن فتـركته جزر الس

حسن بنانه والمعصـما رآني قـد نزلـت أريـده أبـدى لـم

م نواجـذه لغيـر تبسد مـح ثـم علوتـه بمهنـ فطعنتـه بالر

صافي الحديدة مخـذميدعون عـنترة والرمـاح كـأنها

أشـطان بئـر في لبان األدهم

Who said the following verses?


Antar’s Legacy:1. The Mu’alaqa of Antar: a jewel of Arabic poetry

2. The Sirat of Antar Ibn Shaddad : more than 4000 pages legend which was read by story tellers all over the Islamic world for centuries

3. Credited for founding the rules of knighthood and chivalry

A legendary rise from slavery to one of the most famous personalities in Arabic history


To reach his greatness, Antar was gifted with:1. great physical strength2. intelligence3. reckless courage4. And he had a special sword and a very special horse


His legacy is not the money he made, but the profound positive change he affected, and continues, to make on the lives of billions of people on Earth.

Bill Gates founder of MicrosoftA computer genius who due to his special talents, dropped out of Harvard and was able to start the most successful computer company in the world.

An “Antar” from our time:


Outliers The Story of Success

Malcolm Gladwell 2008# 1 national best seller


There is a question that engaged psychologists for a very long time:

Is there such a thing as innate talent?

The obvious answer is yes, not every child becomes “a brain surgeon” or a “rocket scientist.”

Achievement is talent plus preparation

The correct answer, however, is not so simple: the more the psychologists look at the career of the gifted, the smaller the role innate talent seems to play, and the bigger the rule preparation seems to play.


The violinists study: psychologist K. Anders Ericson on the violinists at Berlin’s elite Academy of Music. Divided the violinists into three groups

1- World class and stars:

10,000 hours of practice

2- Good violinists:

8000 hours of practice

3- “Unlikely to play professionally” :

4000 hours of practice


The ten thousand hour rule:

Studies in all fields show that ten thousand hours of practice are required to achieve the level of mastery associated with being a world class expert (Deniel Levitin, neurologist)


In study after study, of composers, basketball players, fiction writers, ice skaters, concert pianists, chess players, master criminals, and what have you, this number comes by again and again.

Of course, this doesn’t address why some people get more out of their practice session than others do.

But no one has yet found a case in which true world class expertise was accomplished in less time. It seems that it takes the brain this long to assimilate all that it needs to know to achieve true masters.


Christopher Langan the smartest man alive


Lewis Terman Termites:Identified 1470 children with IQ ranged from 140 to 200Followed their progress in life in minuscule detail None reached the status of a world class expert, or had any vast influence on humanity.


The relationship between success and IQ works only up to a point. Once someone has reached an IQ somewhere around 120, having additional IQ points doesn’t seem to translate into any measureable real world advantageNobel prize winners are a proof of this principle.


Difference between Robert Oppenheimer and Chris Langan:

Oppenheimer:Convinced his advisor to forgive him for attempting to kill himNegotiated becoming the chief scientist for the American Nuclear program during WWII

Lagan:Could not talk to his calculus teacher about his ideas on teaching calculusCould not change his class time from the morning to the evening after he lost his car


Prerequisites for success:• 10,000 hours of practice and hard

work• Opportunity• Social skills, discipline and civility


Return to Antar and Bill Gates:He was medium built, without any real physical advantageHe had the opportunity when he was allowed to care for the tribe’s horsesHe trained himself (while grazing the horses) vigorously- it is said that he fell from his horse 1000 times before becoming a master riderHis horse and sword were within what is average
