"When we're in the story, when we're part of it, we can't know the outcome. It's only later that we think we can see what the story was. But do we ever really know? And does anybody else, perhaps, coming along a little later, does anybody else really care? ... History is written by the survivors, but what is that history? That's the point I was trying to make just now. We don't know what the story is when we're in it, and even after we tell it we're not sure. Because the story doesn't end."

Â So it could be grateful to Allah, grateful to your parents, grateful to your teachers, grateful for your health, grateful to friends. Â Grateful to anyone whoâ€™s done anything for you. Â Grateful to your employer for giving you a job. Â Appreciative. Â Grateful is not just an act of saying Alhamdulilah. Â Grateful is an attitude, itâ€™s a lifestyle, itâ€™s a way of thinking. Youâ€™re constantly grateful.”
