Arfa Karim Randhawa
Todd Bishop of Geek Wire interviewed Arfa Karim Randhawa:
Arfa at 10 years old had also settled on her philosophy of life, and committed it to memory. She told me about it after our interview, when she was having her picture taken outside, so I turned my recorder back on and asked her to repeat it for me on tape.
"If you want to do something big in your life, you must remember that shyness is only the mind," she said. "If you think shy, you act shy. If you think confident you act confident. Therefore never let shyness conquer your mind."

RIP Princess May Allah give you place in Jannatul firdos Ameen
What will allah do with this young lady? She is no man ... will he give her 70 virgin men? Or does Allah hate women like his male followers who think nothing of murdering/beheading women and girls for doing the same thing men and boys do? It is tragic an intelligent young lady had to die so young.
