How embarrassing!!!!!

This morning, I was sooooo embarrassed!!

I filled my car with petrol at the station, only to then realise at the cashier's desk that I hadn't brought my wallet and therefore could not pay!!!

I had to apologise to a suspecting cashier in front of other customers. What is worse, he made me wait until he had finished dealing with the whole queue, before then making me fill a form to state that I would come back with payment, which I did...

It was not at all funny. I felt extremely humiliated, although I had only myself to blame for being put in this situation.

I went home feeling upset and angry, mostly with myself. I did not know quite what to do, or how to feel better again..

Then...

A friend of mine rang me to tell me about an embarrassing situation that happened to her this very morning!!!

She was shopping at a busy supermarket and filled her trolley up. After waiting in the queue and getting the cashier to scan all her items individually, she could not pay because she had forgotten to bring her wallet!!

Although the cashier was sympathetic and reassured my friend that such things do happen, she still felt embarrassed and a little upset. They kept her shopping trolley for her until she came back from home with payment, which she did....

I must admit, my friend's experience did make me feel a little easier. I told her of my embarrassment, which I am sure made her feel better too!!!

Then....

Another friend rang, with another embarrassment story.

One of her car tyres was under-inflated, so she took the car to a local repair garage and requested that the tyre be re-inflated.

That is fine so far. The problem is that my friend's first language is not English, of which her command is not the best in the world. When she asked for her tyre to be inflated, she requested that the tyre be filled with "wind" instead of "air"!!!!

She only realised that she said something wrong when everyone around burst into loud laughter. She felt soooooo embarrassed...

I reassured her that these things happen, and that she needn't worry. I invited her to come around for a cup of coffee which she gladly accepted. I then put the phone down and burst into a very loud and prolonged laugh!!!!!

I completely forgot about my own embarrassment, which then appeared to me to be a triviality of everyday life that we needn't and shouldn't lose any sleep over.

Sharing our experiences can be a great consolation to all of us, the value of which we should never underestimate. I am so glad that I spoke to those two dear friends of mine, as I am sure they are also glad that they spoke to me. We all felt better as a result...

Has the world gone MAD???

A little while ago, I was checking on some content policies of some online publishing websites. It amazed me that nearly all of them appeared to agree on disapproving of the publication of images that display extreme poverty and deprivation (e.g. Famine scenes from Africa of malnourished people, or victims of wars ...etc). When I asked them as to why this is the case, their answer was that such images are considered to be "crude graphical material" which is too hurtful to watch!!!

Has the world gone mad?? Or is it just me living in a different planet???

If we choose to ignore the suffering of other fellow human beings and refuse to even look at images showing their ordeal, how on earth are we expected to help them??

How will the rest of the world know about such suffering in first place, if those images are deemed to be too hurtful to be watched by the eyes of the privileged nations, who are secure in their own homes and do not at all have to worry about their basic life needs of food, drink, shelter, education and healthcare??

Have we become too cruel and selfish to even recognise that we have become so?? Or am I being too naïve and too idealistic???

I sincerely hope that I am not alone in what I think, and that those online publishing firms represent the few less moral elite who are purely business-driven. Surely, they do not lose any sleep over the suffering of millions elsewhere in the world who live (or most likely die) in conditions that many of us would find hard to accept even for their pets.

I believe we do have a moral duty to help our suffering fellow human beings via whatever means that are available to us. Part of this help involves actively seeking to show the world the magnitude and extent of the catastrophic conditions they are experiencing on a daily basis. Hopefully, doing so would alert many of us to realise how truly privileged they are. It may also stimulate many of us to start regularly donating towards known credible humanitarian charity organisations, which are pursuing long term healthcare and food provision programmes in parts of Africa and Asia, which I hope will make a tangible difference in the future.

Choosing to ignore a problem does not get rid of it, but more often aggravates it!! Besides, we ourselves aren't immune from ending up in similar conditions to those disadvantaged sufferers. By helping alleviate their poverty and hardship, we are indirectly securing further our own future and that of our children.

Are you expecting any good news soon?

All of us are looking for one thing, which is how to be happy!!

After prolonged and deep reflection, I found the magic answer, and the key to eternal happiness!!

For as long as we are alive, we must continue to believe that we still have not lived our most beautiful moments yet!!

The best taste we have yet to taste…

The best words we have yet to hear…

The best days we have yet to live…

The best places we have yet to visit…

And,

The best love we have yet to experience!!

This is called hope, without which life becomes meaningless and unbearable!!

Although what brings happiness may be viewed and valued differently by different people, we all share one thing in common:

We are always waiting for something better to happen!! 

This is what life is all about!!

I am successful...then I am smart!!!

Is it you who is to blame for your failures?? And is it also you who should be congratulated for your successes??

The answer to the above question largely depends on your baseline circumstances. Our ambitions in life are proportionately related to our situation at any given time.

For example, if you live in the developed world, have a regular income that covers all your basic needs such as food, drink, accommodation, transport and leisure, then your ambition will naturally involve you wanting to acquire more wealth, hopefully via legitimate means. To achieve your ambition, you may decide to work extra hours in your job, develop an online entrepreneurial business, or invent an innovative useful new technique or device ...etc.

On the other hand, if you live in the developing world, and happen to be in the middle of an impoverished war zone, with no home, no security and no regular income, then your biggest ambition will most certainly be to remain alive. Most, if not all, of your cerebral function will be focused on your daily struggle in securing food and drink. No matter how naturally gifted you are in terms of intelligence, in such drastic circumstances you won't even begin to  contemplate any leisurely innovative thoughts or ideas like those  mentioned in the above paragraph.

For most of us, the circumstances that we find ourselves in are not something that we have invented or chosen, but are rather imposed on us by our birthplace and our upbringing, which are the two main factors that we don't get to choose, but somehow shape our whole life and future. 

Life is a big mystery

How can we solve it?

We do many things that we later regret but we can't turn the clock back to change them as we wanted. We can either spend the rest of our short life feeling sorry about them, or we can move on and try to learn from our mistakes so we don't repeat them in the future. This is called gaining experience, which will help us change ourselves and our behaviour to the better.


How can we defeat our enemies? Each one of us has at least one known or unknown enemy. In my humble opinion, we can defeat them by being successful in our work and family life. Bear in mind that the more successful you become, the more enemies you will gain. This is not necessarily a bad thing, since having few or no enemies can be a sign of failure.

How to succeed in life?

Success is a guaranteed product of the persistent ambition & the consistent hard work of a perfectionist.

To succeed in any field, subject or career in life, you only need to ensure that you follow these 3 steps:

1. Choose a subject, a job or a career that you like.
2. Make a huge and persistent effort to learn and understand that subject, job or career. If you truly love it, you will not endure any difficulty or experience any inconvenience in you path of learning how to master it.
3. Pay particular attention to detail at all times and strive for perfection. Your knowledge, skill and abilities will soon be recognised and appreciated in a way that makes you stand out from the rest of the crowd by a big margin. Once you get to this level, success is at your fingertips.

REMEMBER:

You only need to master one thing in life to be successful


Seek perfection, and success will come to you

 If you seek success, it will run away from you.

Who would you like to pay more, a footballer or your hospital doctor?

In this world we live in:

Premiership footballers get paid £150,000 - weekly!

The most senior of doctors get paid £120,000 - annually!

In a world that footballers get paid in a week much more than what senior hospital consultants get paid in a whole year, there has to be something that has gone terribly wrong!!

No wonder there are more hungry and homeless people in the world than there have ever been before!

Do footballers deserve this much? Why?

What is it that they contribute to society that makes them so special?

In other words: What can go wrong in the world if all the footballers were to disappear tonight?

Will people die, starve, or become homeless??

NO! No Way.

The truth is: it is our ignorance and stupidity that those footballers and their managers prey on. We have got our priorities completely mixed up. The majority of us are so superficial that their main interest is to spend their money on watching football matches and attending celebrity festivals. We don't seem to want much to do with education, law, science, or medicine!

Until such a time that we start properly valuing our scientists, teachers and doctors, who do truly contribute a huge deal to society, the world will continue to remain a mad place that is destined to a catastrophic end.

In my view, a universal cap of £50,000 annually should be the maximum amount a footballer can earn. the rest of the money should be paid as tax, to be used to support education, health, and charitable projects.

AND,

What goes for footballers should also be applied for singers, actors and their likes.

The world will then become a much better place..

Have you lost your job this year?

We all know what caused the credit crunch that struck the Western World in 2008, or do we?

Of course we do. The bankers were recklessly lending money to masses of people who they knew could not afford to repay their debts, which ultimately sparked the problem in the United States by the fall of Lehman brothers, which was followed swiftly by the fall of Northern Rock in UK. This then created a snow ball effect with the subsequent failing of many other banks and businesses. The governments of affected countries, including ours in the UK, have reacted by bailing out the banks and pouring billions of pounds of taxpayers money into them. The reasoning they came up with to justify their action was that the banks can't be allowed to fail as that would be extremely destabilising for the economy. Failed executive bankers therefore, such as Fred Goodwin of HBOS, walked away unpunished with huge pensions.

Who will pay for this bailout that saved the banks, and repay the taxpayers money back? Surely the bankers themselves since they were the root cause of the problem!! WRONG, it is you and me who will be made to pay, not the bankers!!!!

Yes, we are being made to pay for the mess the bankers have got us in through their sheer greed and utter incompetence. What is worse, they are still pocketing huge bonuses just as they have been doing before the crisis. Have you heard of a banker that has lost his or her job due to redundancy or branch closure? Of course not, and even if this happens, they tend to generally walk away with eye-watering retirement packages.

Hundreds of thousands of ordinary men and women, who had not at all contributed in any way or form to the causation of the credit crunch, have been sacked from their jobs due to closure of businesses and staff reduction. Three years on, the economy remains as fragile as ever, ordinary people continue to suffer on a daily basis from a problem that was created by the wealthiest elite who are still enjoying their life and remain detached unaffected to the slightest. WHO THINKS THIS IS FAIR?

Please comment YES if you agree with the way the government has handled the issue

OR

If you think that the bankers should have been made to suffer instead of the hard working innocent majority, then comment NO

Together, let us  try to restore some common sense back in our society..

Hong Kong

Hong Kong

Standing under a tall building, with very fationable and elegant surrounding atmosphere along the Coast of Hong Kong Island. The darkness was embracing the blue sky with a sensitive and delicate touch. There I found myself, in a strange place, strange country and strange weather; I had no idea what the future was hiding for me.

I travelled all this distance from England to see my granddad as he was so sick, but unfortunately I couldn’t as he died before my arrival.

My granddad worked as an industrial businessman. He owned many factories in Hong Kong. My cousin and I were the only people who would inherit all that fortune.

I was so glad that I would get all that money, while at the same time I felt guilty, as I would take money from someone I had never met. My granddad spent most of his life in Hong Kong city after his divorce from my grandma many years before I was born.

The lawyer requested both of us to come to his office to open the will.  We were both shocked when we discovered that the will stated that my granddad’s money would only be ours if we got married to each other. I thought of my life in UK, my home, my friends and particularly my beloved boyfriend. My immediate response was by saying unequivocally: “NO, that is impossible”. My cousin also said a “hesitant” no, but then the lawyer asked us to go home and think carefully before making such a life changing decision. He told us that if we chose not to marry each other, all of my granddad’s money would go to charity instead.

I went home very disappointed, but I was so tired to even think about anything. I was staying in my granddad’s house while my cousin, who was already working in Hong Kong, stayed at his own flat. All the people around me were very kind but no one was able to tell me why my granddad made that strange will.

We were given a couple of months to decide what we wanted to do, during which time we frequently met and talked. I then slowly started to realise the reason why my granddad wanted me to marry my cousin, who I found to be superficial, arrogant and immature with no sense of responsibility whatsoever. My granddad clearly knew this, as they were living in the same city for a while. I could not imagine my cousin to responsibly look after and preserve his granddad’s fortune, without having a mature intelligent partner to support and guide him through. While I could easily be that partner, I couldn’t see myself spending the rest of my life with him. On the other hand, I loved my boyfriend but staying with him would mean that I don’t get a penny of my granddad’s fortune, which would not be an easy decision to make. What should I do?

A young girl's dream

A young girl’s dream

As a 10 year-old girl I had one big dream in my life. I wanted to own a white sheep dog. I loved dogs in general but mostly sheep dogs, particularly the white ones. I so badly wanted one, so much so that I started saving up my humble weekly pocket money and continued to do so for a whole year. I didn’t want to ask my parents for help. Despite my young age, I was very aware of our limited household budget. My parents loved me very much and would do anything within their means to make me feel happy. If I were to ask them for help, they would no doubt put themselves through some financial difficulties in order to get me what I wanted. In fact, they didn’t even know that I was saving all of my pocket money. When a year has elapsed, I had managed to collect a decent amount of money, which was only slightly short of the price of my long awaited sheep dog. I started feeling proud of myself and of my perseverance.

I had a school friend whom I was very close to. One day during the break time at school, I noticed that she was unusually quiet. I asked her what the problem was and she started crying. I loved her so much and could not bear watching her cry, so I started crying as well. She told me that her mum was seriously ill and had been on medical treatment for a while with no real response. The doctor had told them that she might not have long to live. My friend understood that her mum was going to die, perhaps as soon as within a few weeks time. She told me that she had always wanted to buy her mum the designer dress that she knew she liked but could not afford. My friend was so upset about her mum’s illness, and about the fact that she would not have the time to save up from her pocket money in order to buy her mum the dress she liked.

I told my friend that I could help her. I didn’t think twice, I took her home with me after school and gave her all my savings. She needed them more than I did. Surely, I could wait for another year for my sheep dog but she can’t afford to. Her mum would die within a few weeks.

My friend hesitated a little before she took the money. She was indeed very grateful to me. Although I was sad for her mum, I was happy as I felt that I had made a difference. Because of what I did, my friend’s mum would be able to buy her dream designer dress before she met her death. She would also be very proud of her daughter. Yes, I felt slightly upset as I wouldn’t be able to buy my white sheep dog for a long time to come, but the immense feeling that I was able to provide some contribution that
 made a difference to someone’s life was so overwhelmingly pleasing. I never regretted it, and I would happily do it again if I needed to.

Today my father died

Today my father died.
But I know my father does not die.
What can I say to the birds when they ask me about my father.
What can I say to the tired flowers and trees.
My father was giving them the water every day in the morning.
Who will tell my children stories in the evening?
Who will protect them from every harm and every disease?
who will take care of me honestly
who will love me
I really will miss him
And all my home will miss him
All the flowers will miss him
All the birds will miss him
All the good feelings will miss him
All the stars will miss him
Because he was one of them!!!!
And I will miss you father.

Do you roam in the streets with a dog?

Can we build our happiness on the unhappiness of others?
Are those who treat others badly, simply not raised very well?
Do women who were raised by separated parents always suffer from psychological conditions, and therefore cannot bring happiness to their relationships?
Do many people talk about themselves in order to cover the psychological problems that they have?
Do you roam in the streets with a dog, reflecting your loneliness and isolation ?Are the tears of compassion a sign of weakness?Are the poor unable to love?Have you ever helped someone without them or anyone else knowing about it?Have you ever asked someone else to honestly tell you about your defects?

We are much less perfect than we would like to think, and there are many more people out there who are far better than us than we would like to believe!!

RACISM

Has the West fully eradicated racism yet?


Nearly, but not quite yet. The West has done a tremendously great job in its battle against racism, in which it is so far succeeding, although the job is still far from being completed. Some of those Westerners who have managed to get rid of their racist attitude might have had to do so because their work circumstances had forced them to. Others, who live in large cities where hundreds of different races co-exist, might have either got used to working and living amongst people of different backgrounds, or they could still feel superior but are afraid of publicly voicing their views in fear of being prosecuted. Generally speaking, racist behaviour in the West tends to be very scarce and barely noticeable within affluent neighbourhoods, which are largely populated by community elites and the educated professionals. On the other hand, racism is much more rife and visible almost to the extent of being the accepted norm within deprived neighbourhoods, which are mainly populated by either low income working class or benefit-dependent unemployed people. Having said that, the Western governments in both Europe and the United States have taken huge strides in the path of eradicating all types of racism, whether verbal, physical or even institutional. From the early days of slavery, through the era of apartheid rules and up to the current times, numerous laws have been legislated and subsequently enforced, aiming to safeguard the rights of minority ethnic groups in Western societies. It has taken the West many centuries to get to this stage where, at least legally, all citizens enjoy equal rights regardless of their race or skin colour. We acknowledge that there is still much more that needs to be done in order to completely extract racism from the hearts of people and to fully normalise relationships between different community groups, which I believe will take a few more decades to achieve. Despite its dark and oppressive history, the West deservedly takes credit in its reflective recognition of the problem and its ongoing self criticism. It also takes credit in taking incessant steps towards uprooting it.


Having said the above, racism is not a pure Western problem. Many minority communities in Africa, the Middle East and Asia are still suffering from overt racism and painful discrimination. Governments in those countries have yet to admit to the existence of the problem first to subsequently then start taking action. Without those countries becoming insightful of their endemic racist behaviour - both at individual and government levels - no improvement whatsoever will be achieved to safeguard the rights of their oppressed ethnic minorities. Certain minority tribes in some parts of Africa and Asia are not only marginalised by the dominant majority, but they are actively persecuted on a systematic basis. The repetitive pattern in those countries is that children born to ethnic minority families do not usually attend school, they often start work upon reaching only 8 years of age, doing very low paid jobs in extreme and inhumane working conditions (almost similar to slavery) that are completely ignored by the state. When those children become adults, they either continue to work in unskilled low paid jobs (house servants or labourers) or turns into criminals (burglars and thieves). In contrast, children born to the dominant majority families invariably attend school and be well looked after throughout, until they eventually get employed  in a reasonably paid high or average skilled job. There is often complete social, economic and housing segregation between the oppressed and the oppressing communities. Social mobility is virtually impossible. The complicating factor is that not only does the oppressing majorities think of their behaviour towards the oppressed minorities as completely acceptable, but the tragic belief among the oppressed minorities that the treatment they are receiving is deservedly fair. Therefore, the status quo in those countries  is unlikely to change any time soon, unless the ethnic minorities themselves start demanding their full rights, which has recently happened in one of the largest African countries, after decades of armed and political struggle, eventually resulting in the birth of the newest country in the world following a much awaited referendum that overwhelmingly favoured the separating from the mother country and the formation of a brand new state, the sole citizens of which are the previously oppressed minority that once lived in slavery-like conditions in their mother country.

وتسال الله ذو الاحسان والنعم

ان ينشر الامن والايمان والكرم

مصر التي كانت ولم تزل

مجداً وعزاَ يسمو بالزمن

صارت تعاني من هم ومن حزنِ

لم تعرف الذل يوماً ولم ينتابها الم

بلاد قد حابها الله من عز ومن يمن

خيراً فعلت بان رحلت

من قال لك اني حزنت

هذا افتراء

انني والله لم ازرف دموعاً ماندمت

من قال لك اني احترقت

وان حزناً يعتريني... ان شيئاً في كياني

لم يزل يبحث عليك

من قال لك ان عطري لم يزل يحنو اليك

وان شمعي غارقاَ في الدمعِ...ذابْ وضاع يبحث عن يديك

من قال لك

ان ليلي باردُ..يعوي شتائي

وان فجري اسودُ يفقد الدفء الذي فى راحتيك

من قال لك

اني رجوت

ان الورود الحمر في شرفات بيتي

تبحث السقيا التي كانت لديك

من قال لك من اخبرك

ان هريرتي البيضاء

ما فتئت تجول البيت تبحث عن مكان دافئ في ساعديك

قد خنتني...افزعتني

فلقد شممت اريج عطرك في ثياب رفيقتي

ولقد سمعتُ رنين صوتك .. حانياَ يشدو ينادي اسمها

في رغبة وتلهفي

انا لا يخيّل لي

فلقد رايت بامّ عيني ما جرى

وسمعتُ صوت رفيقتي يعلو ابتهاجاً في ثنايا غرفتي

انا لا اريدك بعدما ان خنتني

انا لا ابالي لغدركَ...فالغدر سهلٌ في حياة الثعلبِ

انا حرةُ ونبيلةُ وعفيفةٌ واصيلةُ للحقِ اشعلُ موقدئ

قد كان مثلكَ يرجمِ

فالرجمِ حدُ من حدودِ المنعمِ

يسري ويمضى شرعه في كل افاّقِ خسيسِ مجرمِ

انا لا احن لمثلكَ فالنار لا تُشفق على المتمردِ

والاسدٌ تفنى بالعراءِ عزيزة...تابى بان تمسس رفاة المنتنِ
