1) He means to listen to what others are saying or listen to what the wind tells you.... Thats imposable...... i dont get it.

2) The difference is that terrerists usually don't know why they are hurting someone or something. But who knows WHAT there real motives are.

1)Haji Ali means to say to listen closely to the kids trying to study hard.
2) That if you're a terrorist, you earn money by just trying to hurt people. If you have a good education, you don't have to hurt people for money, because you have a better chance to have a good job with a good amount of pay.

1) It means to listen to people and do what your heart tells you what to do.
2) If you have education you wouldn't hurt people nor kill them. If you are a terrorist you earn money by killing people or hurting them.

   [1]    It means to listen to your heart and what you want to do.
   [2]     Agree, because if you have education you know hurting    people is bad even if you get money. You are most likely to not agree to become a terrorist because you already have a job to get money.It applies to U.S citizens because some become terrorists if they don't get education.
