Time Management...

Our life is like a bubble, a short period existing, that we’re living inside. So, we should obviously take care of it by using it in the best way. Therefore, we must start to understand the importance of time. As, we have to be quiet sure that time has it’s own value. Time has to be followed by management, which is basically planning one’s time in an organized and constrictive way.

First, time is said that it has no beginning, nor an end. But, we can see that over the years, humans have “in a way” measured it: as years, months, days, hours and seconds. In addition, they also given to every specific period a “meaning”: past, present and future. So it’s true that time has a meaning, more specifically, it’s a stage that moves.  In fact, the past is your history; it’s what is gone. Today is what we’re living now and tomorrow is yet to come (the future).

Moreover, if we take care of every minute in our life, then hours and days would take care of themselves. It is also said “that time is more precious than money”. In other words, money can be lost (in business for example) and gained again. But time, once its lost, it can never come back.

Second, many of us discover that they need to develop their time management. In fact, time management isn’t just for the time when you’re working or studying, it could be necessary at any time.  From my own point of view, I think that time management can be so hard to some people since they are either unorganized in their life in generally or they always change their mind. Consequently, these two cases can’t “develop a flexible life”. Thus, people who organize have straight goals and self-knowledge. As, they can also develop and maintain a personal and flexible schedule.

To conclude, time is the key of success. If you are not on time and miss the test, you miss it forever. So also the time, once you miss it, you can’t have it anymore.

             

The Trials Of The Century.....

Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent. – Marther Luther King

First, freedom is such a little word that means for some of us as the most important thing. Freedom is just the fact to have the right to do what you wish, but as long as we do not pass our limits, which is not to harm others ability and wishes and also no to exceed our  “wishes” with the destruction of other people’s life.

Second, figuratively, freedom is like the life in sea since our freedom is whatever floats our boat but doesn’t let the other boats sink. We can strictly assume that there is no such thing that’s really defining the word “absolute freedom”.

Thus, freedom has to have certain self-preserving restrictions and it comes exactly from that second part of the principal that I mentioned at the beginning: “so it’s called freedom, as long as it does not harm other’s ability to exercise their rights”.  In fact, the concept of freedom is so sarcastic since freedom has to be present for everyone in the society in order to be equally free.

To conclude, freedom today in Egypt is something that rich and poor are looking forward to get their freedom. So freedom is not by who you are? And these days in Egypt, freedom is not exercised. There are various topics where this principle of freedom is a core issue.  Egyptians ministers are now the one who are running and fighting to get their freedom since they are prisoners. I think that the concept to prison these people without really having enough arguments that follow the Egyptian law, is just chaos. I think we should concentrate with our matters and focus more on things that are beneficial to us.  We should leave these matters that relates to the trials to the concerned parties. 

KONY 2012 is a film and campaign by Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice.

My personal project...

Finally, I am sitting here on my laptop incapable of elaborating my feelings after finishing my personnel project. I have to say, it has been tough and I have met more than a thousand obstacles in order to get everything done. Of course, there have been lots of ups and downs, but I feel more than just proud to be able to get past them and find creative ways to vanish any fear of failing. Reflecting on my painting, I have learned a couple of things. First of all, I have learned many things about my country's resolution and finally got to be a part of it without physically interfering in any manifestations. Second of all, not to mention that I got to relate and do exactly what I want to do, I have managed to see an idea of mine come true, and that in my dictionary is accomplishment. I feel all the satisfaction in the world when I look at my painting, I always keep in mind the fact that it's so much easier to analyze or get out a message of another person's painting than actually analyzing your own. However, this is something that is personal, it got me to think deeply and get out emotions I never knew I even had before. 

To Have A Friend You Must First Be A Friend

To have a friend you must first be a friend…. So, I'd have to say that for me the top quality required, is to be a good friend first. 

In fact, "what are good qualities of a good friend?" we know that making friend is such a good thing. However, some teenagers do not take things that serious or even take basic things into consideration when making new friends. Although, I’m sure that any friendship can start that fast but when it comes to a real true friendship, it take time to build. 

Actually here are a few qualities of a good friend:

1.    A good friend is unique, remarkable and special than any other friend.
2.  A good friend is the one that support you whenever you need him or her. In reality, they will what are your goals and aims and help to become the person you want to be. They influence and change who you are.
3.  A good friend is the one that you can trust. In fact, a true friend won't try to pinch your belongings. He or she won't gossip about you or try to damage your reputation. As, they will let you know when he or she is concerned and will stick up for you whenever you’re in trouble. In addition, a loyal friend will stick with you through difficult times, such as when you “bomb” in your exams or when you have any problems. Even if you move or switch school or whatever, they will still stay in touch with you.  
4.  A good friend is respectful. Such a good friend would not put you down in front of others. They would respect you and would treat you just the way you would treat them - with respect.

     True Friends are so hard to be found. Effectively, if you have a truly good friend, then, you are one of the lucky few because such good friends aren’t so easy to find these days, so count your blessings.

We The People of the.......................Consituation.

There are no universal laws that can be combined to form a constitution that can fit for every country. However, each independent country has its own laws and rules concerning all aspects. In fact, according to legal-dictionary constitution means “the fundamental law, written or unwritten, that establishes the character of a government by defining the basic principles to which a society must conform; by describing the organization of the government and regulation, distribution, and limitations on the functions of different government departments; and by prescribing the extent and manner of the exercise of its sovereign powers”. 

It is the highest law, that defines basic rules of the form of the state and the system of governance (royal or republican) and the form of government (presidential or parliamentary) and is regulated by the public authorities in terms of composition and competence and relations between the authorities and limits of each authority and the fundamental rights and duties of individuals, groups and puts guarantees to the Authority.

Constitution of Athens is considered as the first constitution in the world; Draco was the first legislator of Athens in Ancient Greece. He replaced the existing system of oral law to a written code to be enforced only by a court and combined in the constitution. Actually, the laws that he had laid down were not the first written constitution of Athens only but the first in the world. In order for the citizens to be aware of the constitution he used to post them on wooden tablets of the shape of three-sided pyramids so that it can be seen from all sides.

To conclude, I personally think that after the current events in Egypt it is better that     the Egyptian government first lays down the constitution then have the presidential elections. Generally speaking, writing a constitution first will set the rules and laws that the president will adhere to, instead of leaving it to the coming president to take advantage and change the constitution to his own benfits.

“We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day.”

Apart the endless cups of tea with Christmas carols, the great excitement and the huge blissfulness that we had already experienced from the beginning till the end of the year, the New Year’s resolution is the time when someone reflects on the changes he wants or needs to resolve.  In fact, the majority of people think of these resolutions as promises. Promises that make you better by changing your routines.

New Year’s Eve has always seemed to be the time when you start looking back to the past, and more importantly, forward to the next year.  It’s a new cycle and a new path of self-development. In fact, these resolutions end so quickly and then they start with the same thing again. I, personally, have the same New Year resolution crop up every year, because they’re too hard to keep! But this Year, I decided to take things more seriously, and determined to finally do better.

As for 2012, I wish: 1- To start playing once again piano as I used to play when I was 8.  2- Lose weight: this might be the most difficult part for anyone to maintain. 3- To be organize: I am hoping that this one will extend beyond work though, or at least, to be more organized in my work will have a positive knock on effect to my personal time. If I can get everything done during the day then I have more time to study and exercise before it’s too late. In fact, I need to be organized for myself and for the tidiness of the house. Therefore, I want to get rid off my nickname (by my parents): Miss Garbage. 4- To do anything that’s new to me: give up the stressful lifestyles and enjoy “more” life. Or just get out or try something new.  And finally, since I didn’t travel for a year, I am anxiously looking forward to a trip to new country where I will have a lot of excitement. 

A lot of people write down their wishes for the New Year meaninglessly. I’ve decided to write down the things that I’m sure will make me grow as a person, that will give me a sense of accomplishment. After all, isn’t that what we’re all looking for? The fulfillment of knowing that it is in your power to change things for the better. In fact, that should’ve been up there as the number one thing on my list, to succeed in achieving whatever makes me and the people around me happy.
