Decisions that we do not like!!!
So strange it is...
I mean this life!!!
As much as we would like to think that we are as free as birds...
As much as we would love to believe that we have the liberty to make and plan our choices...
As much as we would endeavour to stress that our life is our own and no one else's...
And as much as we would cherish and adore our freedom...
.....................
As numerous as they are... The number of times we were faced with hard and bitter life choices...
Choices that aren't of our making...
Choices that - left to our own devices - we would not willingly seek, or even begin to contemplate...
Yet, we find ourselves forced into having to take one of those choices...
We then find ourselves in unenviable situations...
Hard it is to decide between staying in our beloved home countries where we foresee no future, and between having to depart from them into the unknown hoping for a better career...
Hard it is to decide between staying below the poverty line unable to satisfy the needs of our children, and between travelling far away from the very people we love in pursuit of a better future for them...
The list of hard choices goes on... and on...and on...
Thus, making us rightly wonder....
Are we really free in this life???
Certainly, nowhere near as free as we would like to think!!!
Therefore, in taking major life decisions, we should keep in mind one little truth...
Any time that passes by is but part of our life gone, irretrievably!!!
If we are not careful, years and even decades could easily pass by without us spending time with, or even meeting, the very people we love, for whom we have sacrificed so much time away from them... Mostly for the sake of money!!!!!!
Is it really worth it???
We have to keep the big picture in mind and not lose focus...
Life is way too short... It only takes a few blinks and then it's over!!!
Let's live it to the full and not needlessly torture ourselves...
Easier said than done though!!!
Is it not???

Making a deal with life!!!
He, who gave me lots of
words…
His words were like NO others!!!
They were like a magic
touch, surely not from this Earth…
They must have come from
Paradise…
They made me fly through the clouds and touch the sky… Travel with the birds to places no one was
ever able to visit before…
Just he and I…
But all of this was just
for a second, and he was gone!!!
Alone again I was with
lots of words…
Still I can
feel them…
Still I can hear
them…
And still I can touch
them…
But I want him back, and
I want his words…
Both of them...
For he is my happiness,
my joy and my life

University Education.. Is it worth it???
Why do many of us insist that their children get the very best academic education??
Why do they insist that their children have to go to university and get a degree??
Why is it that most of us seem fixated on wanting their children to only become academic professionals, and nothing else??
Is the professional academic route really the best and only way available for our children to succeed in life???
Do we genuinely believe that those career academics and professionals are satisfied with their lives???
Are they really happy?? What do they gain from their careers that makes them so??
Is it their job satisfaction, financial security, career progression or mere respect and appreciation by others??
Of course, we all want the best for our children. We all want them to end up much better than we have ever become. Somehow however, most of us seem to think that this is only achievable by getting our children to pursue an academic university career!!!
***********************
That is OK so far... We are generally free to believe and do what we like..
But....
Does this mean that those of us who aren't academics or professionals lack happiness, money or career progression??
I certainly don't think so....
Or...
Perhaps academic professionals are happier and enjoy more money and respect than those who aren't??
I don't think so either!!
In fact, the majority of the most financially successful people in the world have never been to university at all!!!
Yet, this has not stopped them from gaining huge success, respect and appreciation throughout their non-academic and non professional careers....
Have we carefully though of what are we really gaining by sending our children to university???
Are we really doing the best for them???
Or are we simply wanting to feel better, and in so doing are happily making our children pay the price by pursuing careers that they were not consulted on, and never wanted in the first place???
In my view, the importance of university education has been so over-inflated for a very long time, so much so that it has become embedded in the minds of most people as an inevitable ingredient of success, which I profoundly disagree with...
We need a mixture of a variety of communication, social and interactive skills in order to succeed in life, most of which are not taught in universities....
The single most important factor that determines whether we succeed in life or not is who we are, not what we have studied in university....
Therefore, let us listen to our children and take their views seriously. Let us encourage and support them in taking any career step towards doing something they love and enjoy, and resist the urge to force them into taking a career they hate and endure.

Have you been disappointed in some one you love?
Have you been disappointed in some one you love?
How painful is it to realise that your judgement on
the people you love is not right?
Have you ever been disappointed in someone very
close to you? It doesn’t matter who they were, a sister, a brother, a wife, a
husband, a relative or a friend.
Sometimes we spend long times with people we love,
but after a while we then discover that they don’t really care about
us. Our pain then will be so big, as big as our love and devotion to them.
Were they ever caring about us in the past, and over
time they simply changed? Or were they never caring to us from the very
beginning, and it was simply us who have been blind to see the obvious truth?
Can we still continue loving them after
discovering that they no longer love us?
Unfortunately, we can and we do continue loving them despite our pain..
The only thing that changes is our interactive life with them, which generally ceases to exist after our painful discovery. NO MORE !!!
What was in the heart, stays in the heart!!

Our Real Purpose in Life!!
It is only when we understand the real purpose of our existence in this life that then the big picture starts to become much clearer to see and a lot easier to understand. Only then our life becomes a lot more enjoyable and truly purposeful and complete... Unlike the meaningless, purposeless materialistic life that we once endured without tasting real happiness...
Most people would have asked themselves, or indeed others, the very common question of "How our existence - and that of the universe - came to being?"
Many theories and explanations have been explored & studied in great depth in an attempt to answer the above one question. Throughout history, to this day and for as long we continue to exist, endless debates in support or against various possibilities versus others continue to remain an inseparable part of human cultures, religions, schools of thought and philosophies...
However, without undervaluing the importance of the "How" question, I think we may have been asking ourselves the wrong question for a long time!!
What we really should be focussing on is the "Why" question!!
Why are we here in this world?? What purpose are we fulfilling, or meant to fulfill, by our existence??
Some of us argue that life has no purpose at all. Our existence in their view is a mere collection of series of complex coincidental reactions... No more!!
That's all... No purpose to our life, NONE!! We should all just enjoy life as much as we can before we die and vanish in thin air!!
However tempting it might be... I do not subscribe to this view. I do believe that life does indeed have a purpose!!! An important one too!!!!!
How come??
The extremely powerful and utterly complex design of every single living being, the miraculously delicate harmony between all kinds of lifeforms known to us, and the overwhelming complexity of the universe structure are all too much to be accepted as the result of a mere coincidence or even series of coincidences!!!
Anyone of average intelligence would automatically accept that a car or a TV do not manufacture themselves, for believing so would simply be extremely foolish and irrational to say the least!!!
That same person would also accept, without questioning, that the tiniest of insects - let alone the human body - is far more complexly designed than the most modern and futuristic car or TV!!!
Yet that very same person - and many others - would find great difficulty in accepting that our life, and this whole universe, have been carefully designed and created by a much superior force!! A force that has the power, knowledge and understanding to plan, design and create this amazing world!!!
Such power surely doesn't create life just for fun, nor does it do so without purpose...
We are collectively here for a shared common purpose...
In addition, each and everyone of us has their own individual and unique purpose that no one else shares with them!!!
We will never find real happiness until we have understood our purpose in life...
So let us work on it...

كيف اعلم
كيف اعلم انه سيخوننى
علّمتهُ وصنعته..معانى الحب قد شرّبته
لو كنت اعلم انه سيبيعنى
ما كنتُ قد بدأت مشوارى معه و أجبته
لكننى خُلقت انسانٌ برئٌ
لا يعرف الخداع حين أمنتهُ
قد جاءنئ باللطف والحنان
ما كنتٌ أقوى صدّهُ
قد كنتُ قد هويتهُ
كان جميلاً وانيقاً ورقيق القلب حين لمسته
انا التى فقّهتهُ و فى دروب العشق قد سجّلته
قد خاننى اليوم وكنت اظنُ أننى ملكته
مع أخرى لا تعرف الكثير عن حياته أو أصله
انا التى عشت الليالى الساهرات قربه
قد جاءنى فقيرٌ لا يملك الكثير ... قد ساعدته
من حر مالى قد أقرضته
للمجدِ قد بنيتُه
أوَ تُنكرون اليوم حين هجرته
وتعاتبوننى عندما تركته
وكيف للطير الحزين بان يفارق وكره
أتذكرون حينما اقسمت بالولاء عندما احببتُه
وحينما أتاني زاهداً فى العشق بعدها روضتُه
كم مرّةً سالته والعشق يغزل ليلنا وينحته
هل يبقى عشقى دائما فى قلبه
ام يأتِ يوما حائراً ويقتله
واجابنى بانّه
لن يبقَ فى الدنيا اذا فارقته
لا استطيع القولَ انى قد سئمته ... أو اننى كرهتهُ
لكنه قلبٌ ضعيفٌ بالحنانِ صقلته
فأنا التى خيرته ... على فراقٍ دائمٍ اجبرته
واليوم اهنأ فى الحياةِ اذ اننى انكرتهُ

How to deal with life??
Life is full of difficulties and challenges, and our ability to overcome them depends mostly on our personality type rather than our mere physical strength. Often, all we need is some faith together with a lot of patience!
Who among us doesn’t like all their beautiful hopes and dreams to come true?
Who
among us doesn’t like to have everything good in life?
We
may dream for as much as we like, but always have to wake up to face the
painful truth of reality, which dictates that only few of those hopes will
materialise if indeed any!
We
find ourselves in unenviable situations that we hate to be in but nevertheless
can’t ignore – such as poverty, debt, sickness, loss and failure – which we
then have to deal with and attempt to overcome!
We
experience many disappointments… We get shocked upon discovering the hurtful
ugly truth about individuals who we mistakenly thought were angels, without
whom our life we thought was worthless!!
Life
challenges can be incessantly hard and overwhelmingly depressive at times. Only
time has the ability of helping us to forget our sorrows and strong
emotions of loss and grief.
Disasters
often appear enormous, invincible and unbearable when they first hit but, gradually and
with time, their impact lessens and diminishes. A few years down the line,
that impact is hardly noticed or even felt, leaving behind mere distant and fragmented memories only!!
No
matter how long or short we perceive our lives to be, Life is short… So,
let us make the most of it, and not waste valuable time and effort magnifying
trivialities and needlessly punishing our souls.
Let
us stay focussed on the big picture: Our real purpose in life, which is what we
will be discussing next…

Lonely?? Even among your loved ones!!!!
Loneliness is a truly horrible feeling...
Unfortunately, it is being experienced by many individuals, whose circumstances have forced them to live alone....
Often those are elderly people whose partners have died, and whose children have already grown up and became busy with their own lives...
They are both alone and lonely!!!
Ironically, other people choose to live alone as a matter of preference!!
Those are often young or middle-aged working men and women who tend to have busier than average lifestyles, which they often love and enjoy.
Although they are living alone, they are far from feeling lonely!!!
Of course, the majority of people tend to live as part of families whose members are generally in good terms with each other and enjoy living together...
They are neither alone, nor do they feel lonely...
Despite living as part of a family or a household, some of us still do not feel fully engaged into their family's life and activities. They don't share any common interests with the rest of their family members, and they don't therefore have any sense of belonging to their household, from which they feel rather detached and oblivious to...
They are generally unhappy with their lives and circumstances...
Although they are by no means alone, they do feel so lonely!!!
Loneliness is an overwhelmingly deep and persistent feeling that is very hard to overcome.
Other situation-generated feelings such as anger, frustration and even disappointment tend to be superficial and often transient!!!
In attempting to conquer their loneliness, people often end up doing things that succeed only in exacerbating the problem!!!!
Some resort to drinking far too much alcohol and ignore everything else in the entire universe!!!!!
Others buy cats or dogs and start treating them as their own children, thereby severing their already weakened remaining ties with the human race. Of course it is perfectly OK to have pets, so long as they are treated as such. The abnormal thing is when the owners treat their pets as humans (or human replacers), when they clearly are not!!!
Some others end up neglecting themselves and becoming isolated and eventually depressed, which is a vicious cycles that exponentially intensifies the problem further!!
So, what can lonely people do to rejoin normal life???
Firstly, they need to be aware of the fact that they are lonely!!!
And secondly, they need to perform some deep soul searching and self exploration, aiming to identify the things that they truly enjoy doing in life...
However, what lonely people lack is real bonding with other fellow humans. Once they have identified their real interests, all they then need to do is to link up with other people who share those interests!!! Communication has never been any easier in the world, so finding people that share common interests is not at all a challenging task..
If they do this well, the positive transformation they will experience in their lives as a result can be enormous!!!!

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.

Is your boss a lion?
What the hell is a lion boss???
Is it that boss whose priority job and main purpose in life is to make the lives of his/her employees as difficult as possible, preferably closer to Hell than ever!!
Or is it that boss who doesn't care how much effort and time you exert in doing your job, and wouldn't utter a single word of praise when you deliver much more than is expected of you??
Surely, it must be that boss who would enjoy torturing you to death if you dare to blink at the wrong time, or if you once in a lifetime career arrived two minutes later than you should!!
If you work for a loin boss, your whole life becomes a complete misery. You learn to live in constant fear and you lose any aspirations or motivations. Your work becomes just a painful means of acquiring a wage that enables you to pay your bills at the end of the month, rather than a career that you love and is passionate about.
Working for a lion boss also extends your misery to your home life, for you tend to take your work frustration and despair to your poor family at home. You end up not enjoying your family life, but rather transferring your misery to your innocent family members instead, fueling stress and tensions and leading to split-ups, separations and divorce. All because of your lion boss!!!
Why do many of us put up with such enormous torture for so long??
Is it because of fear of losing their job, of being demoted or disciplined??
Is it really worth staying a prisoner of a lion boss?? Should we put up with such merciless, heartless and cruel lion bosses who are responsible for the misery of many families in this world??
OR should we do something about it??
We do not go to work to be abused by our bosses!! This is not part of anyone's job description.
Let us say a loud and clear NO to the abusive lion bosses that are out there...
We won't succumb to their unjustified abuse...
We shall stand up to them and report them to their boss (who hopefully won't be another lion)
We can even report them to the police if there is no higher boss.
We go to work to enjoy a good and healthy working relationship with our work colleagues. Productivity prospers in such an atmosphere where respect and helpfulness is the main driver, rather than fear and threat!!!
AND FINALLY....
TO THOSE LION BOSSES, I SAY...
You will get people to perform at their best through appreciative and considerate leadership, not through suppressive and demeaning behaviour.... Better be loved and respected than be hated and feared.

Rihab Hussein: Do you agree with the university tuition fees
Rihab Hussein: Do you agree with the university tuition fees: DO our students in UK deserve free university education? Or should they be made to pay the annual £9,000 introduced by the current governme...
Should we have joined war in Afghanistan or paid for our students' univerity tuition fees?
DO our students in UK deserve free university education? Or should they be made to pay the annual £9,000 introduced by the current government?
In so doing, the coalition government argued that they had inherited an almost bankrupt country from Labour, and that charging students this much money is the only way available to them to sustain top-class university education that rivals what is provided by universities in US.
That argument is fine, only if the government truly has no money.
However, so much money appears to be available, but the government is rather unwilling to use it to support university education since it seems to have other priorities which, in their view, are much more important!!
As a mere example, over the past few years the UK government has spent approximately 20 billion pounds on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and 200 million pounds on the war in Libya.
Since UK has an average annual number of 450,000 students entering universities, it becomes clear that if those war billions were properly spent on subsidising university education, then they would have fully paid for this annual students number for almost 50 years (at the new annual tuition fee rate of £9,000).
Besides, who believes that those wars were actually needed by Britain in the first place?
They were, and still are, surrounded by many controversies with no apparent or tangible benefit to us. Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, and the Taliban had never posed a threat to UK!!
We should solve our domestic priorities first, before jumping to helping other countries. Doing it this way will be much fairer, and will much appreciated by the now suffering British people.
In so doing, the coalition government argued that they had inherited an almost bankrupt country from Labour, and that charging students this much money is the only way available to them to sustain top-class university education that rivals what is provided by universities in US.
That argument is fine, only if the government truly has no money.
However, so much money appears to be available, but the government is rather unwilling to use it to support university education since it seems to have other priorities which, in their view, are much more important!!
As a mere example, over the past few years the UK government has spent approximately 20 billion pounds on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and 200 million pounds on the war in Libya.
Since UK has an average annual number of 450,000 students entering universities, it becomes clear that if those war billions were properly spent on subsidising university education, then they would have fully paid for this annual students number for almost 50 years (at the new annual tuition fee rate of £9,000).
Besides, who believes that those wars were actually needed by Britain in the first place?
They were, and still are, surrounded by many controversies with no apparent or tangible benefit to us. Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, and the Taliban had never posed a threat to UK!!
We should solve our domestic priorities first, before jumping to helping other countries. Doing it this way will be much fairer, and will much appreciated by the now suffering British people.
