dr. mihret debebe i am a big fan of yours, sorry for my english but i wanted to ask you a question which i think is the most common question … the thing is i want to use my time wisely and when i say wisely i make plans(which i have never succeeded by the way) and i also decide to stop or improve things but the sad thing is there is no action…which makes me just a dreamer so i wanted to know what to do
Dr.Mihiret is a mined setter and he is an excellent person who know personal thinking of every bodies.
For me !; it’s beyond the threshhold for my words to talk about D/r Mihret.
He’s naturally inherited extra candle light w/c shines the deepest portion of mind that’s miracleous for ordinary ones.
He has given birth of me once again just after I’ve come across his everlasting gifts of Books; ‘Lela Sewu ‘ as well as ‘Yetekolefebet kulf !’.
Moreover his public lecture on TV healed my Soul.
I’ve learnt many & many abstract paths of life.
