BIOGRAPHY

MY INSPIRATION

Gibran Khalil Gibran commonly known as Khalil—also "Kahlil", as he used to sign his name in English[a]—Gibran (January 6, 1883 – April 10, 1931) was a Lebanese-American writer, poet and visual artist, also considered a philosopher although he himself rejected this title in his lifetime. He is best known as the author of The Prophet, which was first published in the United States in 1923 and is one of the best-selling books of all time, having been translated into dozens of languages.

Born in a village of the Ottoman-ruled Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate to a Maronite Christian family, the young Gibran immigrated with his mother and siblings to the United States in 1895. As his mother worked as a seamstress, he was enrolled at a school in Boston, where his creative abilities were quickly noticed by a teacher who presented him to Fred Holland Day. Gibran was sent back to his native land by his family at the age of fifteen to enroll at al-Hikma School in Beirut. Returning to Boston upon his youngest sister's death in 1902, he lost his older half-brother and his mother the following year, seemingly relying afterwards on his remaining sister's income from her work at a dressmaker's shop for some time.

In 1904, drawings of Gibran were displayed for the first time at Day's studio in Boston, and his first book in Arabic was published in 1905 in New York City. With the financial help of a newly-met benefactress, Mary Haskell, Gibran studied art in Paris from 1908 to 1910. While there, he got involved in secret circles promoting rebellion in the Ottoman Empire after the Young Turk Revolution; his books were eventually banned by the Ottoman authorities. In 1911, Gibran settled in New York, where he would start writing The Prophet in 1915, and where his first book in English, The Madman, would be published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1918. His visual artwork was shown at Montross Gallery in 1914,[10] and at the galleries of M. Knoedler & Co.in 1917. He had also been corresponding remarkably with May Ziade since 1912.[11] In 1920, Gibran re-founded The Pen League with fellow Mahjari poets. By the time of his death at the age of 48 from cirrhosis and incipient tuberculosis in one lung, he had achieved literary fame on "both sides of the Atlantic Ocean",and The Propheth already been translated in German and in French.

His body was transferred to his birth village of Bsharri (in present-day Lebanon), to which he had bequeathed all future royalties on his books, and where a museum dedicated to his works now stands.

He become my hero since 2015, but mostly he become the one who give me lot of inspiration. The word that he uses, always have something to know. Since than, sometimes I love to write poetry. Eventhough I didn't have many time to write the poetry but something always come to my mind. 

A lot of people loves his quotes and in the cool way I always try to be like him, the one who can inspire people to be in a good way. And now write a poetry is my hobby. The way he describe something in a special way always make me think about how deep some word can mean. Sometime I need to think a little longer just to know about the word that he uses. But he always make my day bright by his quotes or his motivation word.

Thank youuuu
