What Is Your Favorite Quranic Verse?


These are mine:
And He subjected to you the night and day, and the sun and moon; and the stars are subjected by His command. Surely in that are signs for people who understand. And that which He has multiplied for you in the earth of diverse hues. Surely in that is a sign for a people who remember. It is He who subjec ted to you the sea, that you may eat of it fresh flesh, and bring forth out of it ornaments for you to wear; and thou mayest see the ships cleaving through it; and that you may seek of His bounty, and so haply you will be thankful. And He cast on the earth firm mountains, lest it shake with you, and rivers and ways; so haply you will be guided; and waymarks; and by the stars they are guided. (16:12 16)
“Allah! There is no god but He – the living, The Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him Nor Sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede In His presence except As he permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creature As) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they compass Aught of his knowledge Except as He willeth. His throne doth extend Over the heavens And on earth, and He feeleth No fatigue in guarding And preserving them, For He is the Most High. The supreme (in glory).”
[Surah al-Baqarah 2:255]
“Say: Praise be to Allah, and Peace on His servants whom He has chosen (for his Message). (Who) is better?― Allah or the false gods they associate with Him? (59) Or who has created the heaven and the earth, and who sends you down rain from the sky? Yea, with it We cause to grow well-planted orchards full of beauty and delight: it is not in your power to cause the growth of the trees in them. (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Nay they are a people who swerve from justice. (60) Or, who has made the earth firm to live in; made rivers in its midst; set thereon mountains immovable; and made a separating bar between the two bodies of flowing water? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Nay most of them know not. (61) Or, who listens to the (soul) distressed when it calls on Him, and who relieves its suffering, and makes you (mankind) inheritors of the earth? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Little it is that ye heed! (62) Or, who guides you through the depths of darkness on land and sea, and who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His mercy? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? High is Allah above what they associate with Him! (63) Or who originates Creation, then repeats it, and who gives you sustenance from heaven and earth? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Say “Bring forth your argument, if ye are telling the truth!”(64) Say: None in the heavens or on earth, except Allah, knows what is hidden: nor can they perceive when they shall be raised up (for Judgment).(65)”
35. Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The Parable of His Light is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! Allah doth guide whom He will to His Light: Allah doth set forth Parables for men: and Allah doth know all things.

Recent Venture Capital Interview?


I had a recent preliminary interview with a venture capital firm on Wall Street. For one I was surprised the firm would even spend the time contacting me because I have had no previous finance experience. However, I feel I would add benefit to the firm nonetheless. I had an initial interview with the firm on a video call. I was a bit disappointed by the situation in the end. I felt as though the interviewer was all tensed up, and was sort of grilling me. This was okay, but seemed a bit strange. I felt uncomfortable by the video call, because it was hazy, and I wasn’t able to use my body language to draw the interviewer into a good connection with me. The questions were kind of blah general and when I attempted to answer them, if I didn’t say what he was looking for he seemed to get an irritated look in his face. I am a nice person, but he kind of set the tone in a way like he was trying to control the interview. This doesn’t mean he is smarter than me, I guess he just likes to do that. He said he needed to discuss possibilities with members of his firm about it. I feel like this interview mainly went wrong because of his demeanor that comes from the stress from his job. This demeanor I think helped me not answer the questions to the best of my abilities, and afterwards I was thinking, well that I could easily have said much better. I also feel like more things could have been talked about. Any of you have a situation like this, or advice about what I should do? Should I wait and message him later, I feel like he is a busy individual under high stress that doesn’t have much time for things. Should I tell him I have talked to presidents about specific numbers of capital they need and try to link them into deals focused on their niche? Should I just move onto the next firm, and wait to hear later, or run a message to them?

Would You Go To Work In Venture Capital Or Go To School More?


I know for some of you this might be a silly question, but my parents have different thought processes then me. I have an interview with a venture capital firm on Wall Street coming up and am excited about it. My parents on the other hand think I should go on to future education which I have been offered a full tuition waiver through my professor. Granite this school is not where I really want to go anyways. My professor has a lot of friends at more prestigious schools though and said to me, do you want to go to this school; I can talk to my friends there for you. One is an IVY school and the other is a close to IVY school. The thing is, this degree is not an MBA, but would give me more knowledge on the venture capital industry I am interested in. If I went to one of these schools I could potentially get into one of the IVY business schools. Or I could say these educational opportunities are of no interest to me, and I can try and make my bones at this job if I so happen to am lucky enough to get accepted after the interview. The interview will go well if they ask mostly questions about my scientific background and work experience related to their investment niches.

Cut Zero Ice With The Kid?


Now it was the old
man who wanted to stick with Vic and Roger and it was the kid (by this time forty years old) who
wanted to jettison them, arguing with some logic that it would be madness to hand their account over to a
two-bit ad agency six hundred miles north of the New York pulsebeat. The fact that Ad Worx was
affiliated with a New York market-analysis firm cut zero ice with the kid, as it had cut zero ice with the
other firms for which they had put together campaigns in the past few years.
