Summary: "The Prophet" is a book of 26 prose poetry essays written by the Lebanese-American poet and philosopher Kahlil Gibran. The book was first published in 1923 and has since become one of the best-selling books of all time.
In "The Prophet," Gibran addresses a wide range of topics, including love, marriage, children, work, and death.

'Your children are not your children'. If only all parents understood that each child is a unique soul on its own journey. You can love and teach them, but you must let each child be totally unique, it has a journey unknown to you.

I sincerely thank you for your content. Some of us are either too busy to buy a book and sit properly to read it or some are too poor to buy too many books. your content makes it easier for us to gain knowledge in an efficient way. Thank you so much. I would also like to thank you for putting subtitles in most of your videos since a lot of people are not native English speakers and a lot of times understanding accents can be extremely hard so thank you. Please keep it up ! :)
