The NoteBook

Few minutes ago I just watched The Notebook :)

the film makes me think about my dairy and blogs, me too write my notes but why both are not so cheerful and marvelous ...why i can't see such an extraordinary stuff!!!

The movie focuses on an old man reading a story to an old woman in a nursing home. The story he reads follows two young lovers named Allie Hamilton and Noah Calhoun, who meet one evening at a carnival. But they are separated by Allie's parents who dissaprove of Noah's unwealthy family, and move Allie away. After waiting for Noah to write her for several years, Allie meets and gets engaged to a handsome young soldier named Lon. Allie, then, with her love for Noah still alive, stops by Noah's 200-year-old home that he restored for her, "to see if he's okay". It is evident that they still have feelings for each other, and Allie has to choose between her fiancé and her first love. Written by Jessica Cymerman and Directed by Nick Cassavetes. With Ryan Gosling, Tim Ivey, Rachel McAdams.


OMG...can't stop the tears' flood ...it is just sooo sentimental...uufffhh

in Egypt people say that marriage is "fate and destiny"...and love is a kind of "property" you may be blessed with and may not.

I believe that my love is waiting for me....but i've to keep both my eyes and arms open.

I want a love be proud of ...i want a person to share with me good and bad, illness and happiness, i want my family and God be proud of me...i want my kids thank me for such a great father :)

i want my partner to be crazy about me...and our love LIVE for history :D

yess...i want to get married..and yess i seek love...and i want hunt for a beautiful one...and ready to hang a huge poster on my balcony asking for a good husband and lover with no shame :P

what's wrong to declare it...comeon I didn't say lets do something wrong...i am just saying i want the right thing for me...I want Mr. Right -:))

I never thought that i could dare ever say "i need someone"..
I used to think that all i've to do is focusing on my career But to focus on my humanity will be a kind of animality,
maybe this is one of the positive things ever i learned -from my experience- that love is the most powerful and fabulous thing ever...and above all i was one of those people who believe that love is only available if there is a "he\she" was there, but i learned no one can confer me love nor bring me happiness as much i do for me...

nothing better than re-evaluate our values in life...make a zoom about what we really seek and like, and i realized that I was missing Love and Peace,,,missing appreciation of my dignity...missing the real meaning of life, and it is wasting of life to wait for someone to offer me love while i have a good heart for the whole world, as nothing worth to be lonely, in my experience i suffered, it was harsh one but I learned that we never lose faith in love...
I believe that we face hard times to learn how to enjoy the sweet times later on and be thankful for the learned lessons..I am sure that my ONE will be the ONE -incha' Alllah :)))

Love is a candle lights the world..and i want my world (family, friends, .......) be lighted with the joy of my love...and share my happiness ...

now i've to re-consider how i write my notebook ..and plz don't take it as a promise that my posts will be so good and happy ;)

mmm...i wish ..i dream.... of a chef d'„uvre "notebook" full of mAgical summer snapshots :D

enjoyyyyyy .................

مالي ومالك

أراد رجل أن يطلق زوجته ، فقيل له : ما يسوؤك منها ؟ قال : العاقل لا يهتك ستر زوجته . فلما طلقها قيل له : لِمَ طلّقتها ؟ قال ما لي و للكلام فيمن صارت أجنبية


يمكن لأنى مش رجل ...فعلشان كدة أنا مش طايقة نفسي وعايزة أفضحه

يا تري مين ..يا تري فين حياتى بعد التلاتين

عارفة إنى لسه 28 ونص....لكن عندى إحساس إنى لسه صغيرة...مازالت أحبو على مهد الدنيا....لسه حاسة إنى عايزة أتعلم. لسه حاسة إنى بنت امبارح...وإن قدامى كتير

أحياناً مكالمة بسيطة مع عظيم بتساوى سنين دراسة...بس يا تري بنتعلم الدرس ولا لآ...المكالمة التليفونية إياها لسه بترن فى ودانى يا ربي

بيقولو النظر فى صفحات الماضي مضيعة للوقت...بس فى نظرات معينة ممكن تخلينا نبصر كتير فى مرايا أيامنا الجاية

مش شرط إننا نكون ماعملناش حاجة نخجل منها...لكن ممكن نخجل إننا معملناش اللي نخجل منه

مش معنى إن حياتنا مكنتيش فاضية ...إنها تكون كلها مليانة بالحاجات الصح

مش شرط اللي يعيش تحت الشمس...يشوف النور

مش معنى إن رجلينا ورمت من المشي ..إننا كنا بنمشي فى الطريق الصح

مش شرط كل إنجاز حققناه...يكون هو المرادف للمعنى الحقيقي للنجاح

مش معنى إننا حضرنا واتشاهدنا على أحداث عظيمة ...إننا نكون عظماء

فيا تري إحنا اللي بنختار أدوارنا فى الحياة ...ولا هى اللي بتختارنا

يا تري أنا أنا...ةلا حد تاني؟؟؟

الحياة والموت ده شئ بأمر الله...لكن عايزة أبدأ عمري وعايزة أشوفنى وأنا بتولد من جديد..عايزانى أنا مش حد تاني...هم ما خدوش رأيي لما جابونى على الدنيا دى...وافتكرإن من حقى أعلن فجر يوم ميلادى الجديد

الوجه الملائكي

هنا عايزة أكتب حاجة..الكلمات فى راسي ومش عارفة أعبر عنها،بس علشان مش أنسي هكتب الفكرة العامة: إزاى إحنا بننخدع بالوجوه وبنضيع بين الملامح...وبنتوه عن القلوب

رأيته

رأيته واقفاً ........................................وأنا قادمة

رأيته أشاح وجهه............................ورأيتنى على نهجه
رأيته أدار ظهره............................ورأيتنى أرغب عنه
رأيته متعجرفاً...................................ورأيتنى نافره

رأيت فرحة فى العيون انتحرت......ورأيت كدرة فى العيون متفجرة
رأيت بسمة انزوت...........................ورأيت قسوة قامعة
رأيت نور مودة رحلت...................ورأيت نارمُأججة غازية


رأيته مستعجلاً هارباً.....................ورأيتنى مستعجبة هائمة
رأيته مهرولاً مولياً الأدبار......................ورأيتنى لا مبالية


رأيته ورأيتنى .............ويا ليت ما رأيتنا فى تلك الحالة المقرفة

مكالمة تليفون

جالى النهاردة مكالمة تليفون هزتنى كتير....سيدة فى الأربعين بتتصل بيا علشان تقولى:إنى مفترية وليس مفتري علي....

الست دى قابلتها فى حلقة تدريبية عن : إدارة المشكلات ...وفى خلال المحاضرة أنا انهارت وعبرت عن آرائي......الستات شايفنى قوية ومفترية....هههه

لا ومش بس كدة شايفين إن ربنا خلقنى لسبب...وإنى المفروض اكون شخصية مشهورة، داعية مثلاً ...الست بتتصل بيا علشان ترجونى أروح أدرس دين......الست بتلومنى إنى مش قادرة أشوف علامات ربي ...ربنا مش عايزينى أرتبط دلوقتى ، علشان دوري فى المجتمع انا لسه مقمتيش بيه لسه (ومحديش يسأل ايه علاقة الزواج والشغل بالموضوع لأنى مقتنعتيش بالأسباب الللي هى قلتها الصراحة)...قالتلي إنتى عايزة تسيبي الناس فى حين إنى اتخلقت علشان الناس

بتقولى إن كل العلامات والمؤشرات بتقول إنى شخصية مش عادية..عينى فيها حاجات كتير..مش زى أى بنت...بتقول إنى مختلفة...أنا مكتوب لى حاجة...ايه هي مش عارفة...هى شايفة إن ورايا حكاية كبيرة..أو اتخلقت لحكاية كبيرة

وتتمنى إنه يكون له علاقة بالدين

فى البداية شكرتها على أسلوبها اللطيف فى الدعوة والتبشير ، وإنى بقدر نصيحة أخت كبيرة أو أم لإبنة، لكن فوجئت بالست بتقولى إنها بتزمع إن عندها بصيرة، وهى شايفة فى نواه لحاجة كبيرة...شايفة على جبينى حكاية وقصة بتتكتب....ومستغربة جداً إزاى أنا مش شايفة نفسي ولا مش شايفة كدة

بتتصل بتعاتبنى على أفكار كتير وكلمات بصرح بيها، هى خايفة منها لأنها تظن إنها فتنة، وهتقودنى إلى حرب مع نفسي ومع الناس، قد تدفع البعض إلى اتهامي فى عقيدتى (وهى تزعم بانها على يقين بصريرة نفسي)..لأن المفروض لا أستنفز طاقتى فى مهاترات قد تعطلنى عن دوري والرسالة اللي اتخلقت علشانها...وبقية الكلام الكبير ده

بتقولى إن عقلي خطر، وإنى لازم أروضه، بتقولى إنى شخصية قوية جداً...وقال حاجات كتير...وكلها بتخلينى أسأل نفسي: هو مين وفين؟

بتقولى إنى ربي عهد إلى برسالة وأنا بجحد بيها.....
بتقولى أوعى تقولى إنك مش واثقة فى نفسك...أوعى من أفكارك اللي بتصرحي بيها
بتقولى إنى بظلم نفسي ..وبتتهمنى بالخيانة: علشان بتخلى عن رسالتى
بتقولى ربنا بيعدنى لشئ كبير لأنه وضع تحت ايدي كل أسباب خدمة المجتمع: سلطة-مال-عقل-لسان- شكل- لغة- وقت- صحة..كل أسباب النجاح لأكون سيدة مجتمع..

الست شايفانى مقصرة وخاينة لأنى بهرب

حاجات كتير جداً...مش قادرة أعبر عنها ولا أكتبها، وأنا أكيد هعيد صياغة المقال ده، لكن الخلاصة إنها سابت فى نفسي علامات استفهام كبيرة:
يا تري فعلا إحنا عيونا مش بتشوف غير الناس ومش بتشوفنا؟
يا تري إحنا ممكن يكون عندنا قدرات ومش عارفين؟
يا تري ممكن فعلاً أنا كل اللي هي بتقول عليه؟
يا تري لو كلامها صحيح: أنا ايه رسالتى طيب؟
يا تري ليه أنا مش حاسة بكدة ؟ وليه بقيت أمشي بقول يا حيطة دارينى؟ ولو عليا مش أنزل من بيتنا خالص...بس نقول ايه فى أكل العيش...محديش بياكلها بالساهل فى زمنا ده

Youth in special needs !!!

Individuals with different mental abilities are given different names through medical history starting by mentally retarded, mentally handicapped, individuals with mental disabilities and now, mentally challenged individuals. These definitions reflect the community’s outlook to those individuals from neglecting to independency.

The developmentally challenged individual is a person with certain degree of disability that renders him in need for extra-help in order to develop to his capacity.

Mental challenge implies significant deficits, with inset early in life, in intelligence and in adaptive behavior (e.g., communication, social interaction, school and/ or work). The deficits are recognized in the performance of social roles and age-appropriate tasks.

The infant and preschool child may fail to achieve developmental milestones of sitting, responding to familiar faces, walking, talking and sphincter control at expected ages. The schoolchild falls short of social expectations for classroom behavior and for reading, writing and arithmetic. The adult may have difficulty in the performance of work roles within and outside the home, in communication skills, or in the understanding of money, transport, and locality.

In the mind of parents of mental challenge children a lot of questions that need a proper answer. Some of these questions are what is wrong with my child? What shall I do? Where I can go? Are the current services enough? What about the next pregnancy?

Finally our main question: If you have a mentality challenged child/youth at home, would you like the community to neglect him/her or would you like to be proud of his/her achievements like the others?

Glade to be here -:))

mmm....back to my old posts...

it seems that i still keep asking the same wonders, hold the same fears and dreams.....

despite of everything, still keep the same old dreams, and above all feeling grateful to be here among my beloved family...
despite of all, still grateful that i live here....

why all this big introduction, simply because when i read what i've wrote 3 years ago: i smiled and thanked Allah as i did 3 years ago -:)))

--------
now back to what i wrote :D
as recently alot of discussions had been raised about Egypt...and how it had been changed in the last 5 years to .......mmm...you know ;)

and i found my self answering by the same reply: well..i can't see me in any other country :(
--------------

I like to live in a conservative which has a space for others to live in peace ..

in Egypt: Here you can find the church & Masjed …and you can find the night clubs as well
(for sure I admit that lately there are some miss conceptions regard the strong religious movements, and many girls wear the scarf for some culture and social aspects...as some ppl judge you by ur dress and appearance ,u can tell a kind of lookism which didn't reach the racism point as in some other countries, thus still you can wear wt ever)

I can be a good …I can be a bad..wt ever I like……

Wanna live & let other live…I am glade for being here …..

Despite the fact, there are some –ve points concerning freedom of expression and some other things according to the human watch reports ..
and yes I admit that lately there are some miss conceptions regard the strong religious

But yesterday I sent an e-mail attached with a video clip to a friend in another country..he couldn't manage to open it as it was blocked by the national authorities there!!

And I surprised it s not a bad site to be obstructed…and i tried to send him another e-forum for bloggers i found it blocked as well !!!wow i like my country ..

here i can enter and chat with other..get closer with people all over the world..here i can invite some one to live in my place... and she/he can wear what ever he/she likes -people will understand his culture-..

and am glade that i can travel to meet young people -despite that sometimes i face alot of problems in the visa procedure ..am glade that i've access to the internet and open gates :)

am glade that i call my friends in every place...am glade that i can hang out with friends...am glade that i can speak up loudly ....

am glade that i can blog my dreams..fears...and share with all............

my thoughts remind me by another situation which I passed through, in an arab country to attend an event (this country supposed that it has round 92% or something of its population are muslims) , and one of the main policies of this country that they put Islamic Dress under inspection -not only that but in some official places they don't allow to enter with Hijab- ;

anyway I was waiting my turn to enter and after me there were a couple one of them wearing Hejab whom I don't know both of them…

as I was waiting to put my handbag in the machine & enter ; the security asked me something but I didn't hear it well so I asked him to repeat it again ,

I found him suspected that am pretending being a foreigner, unfortunately in improper way he asked me to present my local ID, and my badge wasn't enough to let me enter !!!

So I gave him my passport then he apologized, especially when he checked my title "I was a speaker !!" not only that but wasn't registered by egyptian organization but a Canadian one, so you can realize how he felt ....niha ha ha ,…
then he & the other security looked at the couple behind me and couldn't dare to ask them for the ID :)

-as people followed what they did with me-Really I dream to live in a world that people stop blaming other for being them for their way they dressed..Or coz of their religion, or way in living as soon as it is a peaceful way…..

ICT is not Luxury....

Today people live in a society where transformation of information and knowledge based on the opportunities for individuals and communities to be information producers as well as consumers, where socialization of knowledge exists. As information and communications technologies (ICT) continue to spread into all sectors of social and economic life, it became a vital tool for creating knowledge based society, building and sustaining human development. It has transformed our world from the industrial society into an informational one.


For that reason, knowledge has become an essential key for production, and a basic determination for creativity. The Info-Technological revolution which is led by advances in ICT is restructuring the global social economic equation— moving from income divide to knowledge divide. The revolution is spearheading the growth of knowledge societies in developed countries and raised much interest among civil society, markets and the agents of change.

While more than 850 million people in developing countries are excluded from a wide range of information and knowledge tools, the poors in those developing countries remain much isolated economically, socially and culturally from the burgeoning information and progress in arts, science and technology. In addition the global economy of capital investment is flowing to where the potential opportunities for reward can be found. These opportunities will be located in these places or regions where new values and creative ideas can be realized.

Information and Communication Technologies broadly refer to set of activities that facilitate—by electronic means—the capturing, storage, processing, transmission, and display of information.[1]
Information and Communications Technology is "an umbrella term that includes computer hardware and software; digital broadcast and telecommunications technologies as well as electronic information repositories such as the World Wide Web or those found on CD-ROMs (Selwyn 2002). It represents a broad and continually evolving range of elements that further includes television (TV), radio, mobile phones, and the policies and laws that govern these media and devices"[2]

Information and communication technologies are the tools that underpin the emerging “information society.” While no universally accepted definition for Information Society exists, it can be defined as "society in which the creation, distribution, and manipulation of information has become the most significant economic and cultural activity. An Information Society may be contrasted with societies in which the economic underpinning is primarily Industrial or Agrarian” (TechTarget 1999). "information" exchange between people and through networks of people has always taken place. The ICT enablement of information exchange, however, has radically changed the magnitude of this exchange, and thus, factors such as timeliness of information and information dissemination patterns have become more important than ever"[3].

As "information" is "the data that has been organized and communicated"[4] while "knowledge" has been described as "the set of statements, facts or ideas; presenting a reasoned judgment or an experimental result, which is transmitted to others through some communication medium in some system systematic form"[5]. In addition, both of the "information" and "knowledge" both considered being main pillars in achieving the "socialization of knowledge" in order to build “information society.”

Information Society has been one of the key terms used to describe today’s world, as ICT have brought revolutionary changes impacting every aspect of our society— connecting cultures, creating new opportunities for education, restructuring employment, generating new economies, and changing citizens' relation to government. Recognizing these and other paradigm shifts are typically seen as the natural development of the modern liberal tradition. Information and Communication Technologies/ICTs represent to today’s world what industrial machines represented during the industrial revolution; they have revolutionized ways of working, transformed the economy, had an irreversible impact on the way people live, and have shaped a new “information society".[6]It is about a second industry revolution but this time based in the information and communication arena.


on the other hand, the term of "socialization of knowledge" is used to "express the idea of transforming the private and individual knowledge to public and collective knowledge"[7].

Within the context of ICTs and Information Societies; we should refer to:
"environmental information systems" and "eco-efficiency"

"environmental information systems": The definition of environmental information is very wide and many researchers link between sustainable development and the information society focusing on the potential for information systems to assist decision-makers "to monitor and evaluate the state of the environment"using computer and information management technology to solve environmental problems and improve environmental stewardship. Environmental information system (EIS) programs seek “to increase the quality, efficiency and accountability of decision-making processes through applications that systematically use environmental information. In this regard EIS development seeks to enhance the use of harmonized environmental data sets through improving data availability; facilitating access to data; ensuring that data is internally consistent; and ensuring that different data sets match each other.” .

While the term eco-efficiency was coined by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) in its 1992 publication: "Changing Course". It is based on the concept of creating more goods and services while using fewer resources and creating less waste and pollution. The 1992 Earth Summit endorsed eco-efficiency as a means for companies to implement Agenda 21 in the private sector, and the term has become synonymous with a management philosophy geared towards sustainability.

According to the WBCSD definition, eco-efficiency is achieved through the delivery of "competitively priced goods and services that satisfy human needs and bring quality of life while progressively reducing environmental impacts of goods and resource intensity throughout the entire life-cycle to a level at least in line with the Earth's estimated carrying capacity.” This concept describes a vision for the production of economically valuable goods and services while reducing the ecological impacts of production. In other words eco-efficiency means producing more with less.

In 2002, the book Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things was published by Michael Braungart and William McDonough about the ideas of eco-efficiency and its practical applications.

"Eco-efficiency in the production and consumption of goods and services-environmentally is benign to alleviate the impact of further economic growth on world ecosystems.”

Another term commonly used to describe the changes produced by information technology is the "digital divide" term which refers to the gap between those who benefit from digital technology and those who do not. While the term digital economy; this expression emphasizes the new opportunities created by transforming information into a binary digital code. The digital economy refers to more than the boom and bust cycle of many new ventures that aim at tapping the potential of the Internet for commercial purposes. The more profound effect of ICT is likely to be in improving the efficiency and reach of the mainstream production of goods and services, in both the public and private sectors of the economy. Based on this we can defined the The "global digital divide" is a term used to describe “great disparities in opportunity to access the Internet and the information and educational/business opportunities tied to this access … between developed and developing countries” [8] (Lu 2001 p. 1). Unlike the traditional notion of the "digital divide" between social classes, the "global digital divide" is essentially a geographical division.

Cleary the development of the Information and Knowledge Society shows outstanding differences between individuals, places, cities, countries, and regions, thus leading to the existence of the so-called digital divide. However, how individuals utilize ICT to access equal opportunities differ from country to another and from person to person due to economic, physical, geographical, and other reasons.

Despite the potential benefits that can be offered by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) developing countries face significant obstacles to ICT access due to a wide variety of reasons including technical, economic, legal and educational factors.

Different degrees of access to technology and connectivity mirror the social and economic divides within countries and between countries. Increase in access to ICTs will not, by itself, reduce poverty or secure freedoms on a sustainable basis. But there is a real danger that lack of access to ICTs, and to the spaces where decisions are made about information and communications infrastructure, content and services, can deepen existing social exclusion and create new forms of exclusion. Academic studies on ICT and society show that there is a range of issues which make clear that the Information Society like any society will have winners and losers, beneficial consequences of ICT and harmful applications. A review of these academic studies shows that there are no simple and straightforward effects of ICT on society. Mostly effects are multiple and contradictory. New positive developments are accompanied by neutral and negative effects.

To benefit the world community, the successful and continued growth of this new information world of today requires global cooperation and harmonization in different business and social domains.

Since there are still governments that are not able yet to fulfill the basic demands to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), then it is even harder to join the ICT revolution for their nations. Thus, the digital divide will remain and the gap between develop and the developing world will continue to be increasing.

For sustainable development (SD) to be achieved, it is a must, to promote the tools of the information society. And in order to have a sustainable information society; it is a must to consider the socio, economic, and the environmental needs, besides the local content of nations.

Then, Governments are exhorted to make greater use of both new and traditional information and communication technologies as a tool for development, as well as are encouraged to implement strategies references to the UN Millennium Development Goals. ICTs can create unknown opportunities for generating sustainable livelihoods. This could be easily achieved by building strategic partnerships among all parties in societies. As governments alone won't be able to achieve this objective.




There is a role for both of the private and non-profit sectors in helping governments to achieve the MDGs -each is dependent on the cooperation of others to accomplish its goals and further enhance sustainable development processes.

Many developed countries' future and economic and social developments depends to an increasing extent on their innovation performance.

Today, research and development (R&D) – intensive industries in some of these developed countries account for more than half of all industrial production. Here comes the role of the civil society and international agencies in raising awareness of the local communities about the important of such kind of businesses that invest more in research and development.


Youth should be aware that ICT is not about providing technology alone to areas devoid of the modern machines and equipments.


Simply, ICT is a way of living. Also, young people should know that using ICT is not that hard. ICT could be simple as using pens and papers. ICT is for all; it could be for young and old, it could be for poor and rich.

ICT is not Luxury…ICT is Life

"وردة ...."بائعة الياسمين

على ضفاف النيل الشاجى، وفى بيت مصري، لبني الطوب، متوج بعيدان الحطب الذهبية؛ كانت تعيش "وردة" مع جدتها
وردة: فتاة يتيمة الأبوين، لا تعرف من إناس إلا جدتها

تشرق شمس الصباح الوضائة، لتطرق فى حياء على نافذة وردة، داعية العصفور الشادى؛ بانشودة: أحلى صباح يا وردة
فتهب وردة الحالمة ملبية نداء السماء، دؤوبة الخطى الواثقة، مكللة بالآمال الواعدة ومزينة بأبهى حلِي مرح الطفولة البرئ

مستهلة يومها فى نشوة تحث الخطى إلى مدرستها الإبتدائية بالناصرية.
تغمرها أشعة الشمس الخمرية حاملة مباركة الإله العظيم،. وينفحُها النيل العذب بنسائم الشرق مداعباً ضفيرتها المخملية

وبعد عودتها من الناصرية، وفى المساء، تساعد الجدة فى صنع "عناقيد" الفل والياسمين، لبيعها فى شوارع القاهرة الساهرة. يلازمها فى ذلك المعلم النصوح: السيد/ هدهد الفصيح

وذات صباح، أقبل العصفور الشادى –كعادته- موقظاً وردة...منادياً لها؛ ولكن...ما من مجيب.....لقد اختفت وردة


فأخذ العصفور يغدو ويروح باحثاً عن وردة، وبين الحين والآخر يختلس النظرات عبر نافذتها الموصدة عسى أن يجدها، وللأسف ما من أثر لها

ومضت من الأيام –ما مضى- أضنى البحث فيها العصفور، وأثناء ذلك لمح السيد/ هدهد، جالساً على فرع الشجرة خاصته، الموازية لنافذة وردة. فهرول العصفور منادياً المعلم: "سيد/ هدهد...سيد/ هدهد..لقد أختفت وردة؟! ألديك فكرة عما حدث لها؟! أين ذهبت؟! أو ما الم بها؟! عسى أن يكون المانع خيراً"

تلفت السيد/ هدهد، محدقاً فى لا شئ: "وردة....يا حسرتاه...إنها مريضة بمرض خطير بسبب العدوى، حقنة ملوثة. للأسف نتيجة الإهمال"

العصفور: "يا الله..أما من وسيلة لدرء هذا المرض الخبيث؟! أما من وسيلة لتخفبف آلامها؟! ...لا يمكن أن نتخلى عن وردة الأن. بالتأكيد تحتاج لمن يشد أزرها ويأخذ بيديها الصغيرتين لبر الأمان"

رد السيد/ هدهد: وردة فتاة صلبة، لديها من العزيمة ما يكفى لشد أزر جبال،
أقبل أيها الصغير، تعال تظلل تحت هذه الشجرة العتيقة. ففيها من الحكمة بقدر ما حفر الدهر على جذورها. كما أن لدى ما أطلعك عليه: حياتنا مليئة بالمفاجآت والامتحانات، ولا ينجح فيها إلا الصابر المصابر..فلنتعلم الصبر الجميل.......

وسكت السيد/ هدهد،ووجل العصفور، ولكنه ما لبث إلا و ردد متمتماً: يا لها من كلمات .....صدقت

قالها العصفور، وتمتمت بها"وردة" القابعة خلف نافذتها الموصدة، المنصتة والسابحة فى محيط أفكارها العابرة فلك الأحلام. تلك الكلمات: التى هز كل حرف فيها وتر من أوتار وجدانها.

ومن فورها همت لتسطر على أوراق الياسمين بطاقة دعوة:
"هلمى يا أوراق الياسمين مكللة بندى الأمال
انسابى يا قطرات الندى واشفى نفسي من كل آفة وآثم
أقبلي يا شمس النهار وأشرقي بقبلاتى
تعالي يا دنيا وافرحي بحلمى الزاهى بألوان الربيع"

أمنعت "وردة" النظر فى بطاقتها المنظمة على ورق الياسمين مرة أخيرة، ومن فورها وثبت إلى نافذتها الموصدة، مفتحة إيها،
ودفعت بورق الياسمين إلى الحياة المقبلة..

جفت أقلامنا، وتمت كلمتنا....ولكن هذه ليست النهاية....إنها مجرد بداية حكاية....حكاية " وردة" بائعة الياسمين

So now am looking to you , especially Ms. A.Sbo (Annual SignBoard) while you are empty and thinking how I could draw my graph and presented in the board meeting, as in this meeting they 'll discuss whom they 'll renew their contracts and whom not….

On the other hand, am gazing on my dear Ms. Hag (Hand Note: Agenda) thinking what shall I do for my personal life and how I planned for the next year, now am 26.7 y/o , and I've school to finish in order to finish my occupation papers and travel as well –in case I went for this way-

So now Honorable Attendees: What shall we do now????" Ms. Mira said,

Thus, the attendees discussed all about in their round tables and came out by the following:

Lets focus about the main goals in "Mrmr's life" in the next 5 years, stressing on the importance of drafting out the learned lessons of the last couple of years, plus checking the "Reporting Action Plan for the office" making sure of the compatibility of my software –on my PC-with the manuals reports , and to make sure that all are updated, plus dragging the translated documents to the graph to be presented as well.



By the end, all agreed on:
What ever the action plan is, and what ever the report is..and to whom will be presented !!!!

The most important to keep in minds is:

Remember in all this -KISSS the NAPE- : Keep it Short, Simple and Straightforward in the Next Action Plane to Earn

Get Burned.....

Get burned weakness and strength...and suffer.
Get burned sickness and health...and surmount.
Get burned experience and wisdom...and suffer.
Get burned ambitious and greatness...and surmount.
Get burned hoping and desire...and suffer.
Get burned fighting and struggle...and live.

THIS IS THE LIFE

Get burned knowledge and culture...and surmount.
Get burned willpower and bearness...and live.
Get burned endurance and inflexibility...and surmount.
Get burned seeking the absolute perfection...and live

THIS IS THE LIFE

بطاقة دعوة

هلمى يا شمس النهار........ واسطعى على جبينى

تهادي يا أنسمة الصباح............و حيي محياى

أقبل يا قمر السماء ................مقبلاً وجهى

اسطري يا أقلام الحكمة ............همسات عقلي

اشدي يا نجوم الفضاء ............مع غناء روحي

تدفقي يا لالآلئ النور.......وأنيري دروب خطواتى

هرولى يا بشائر الأعياد .........على تراتيل لسانى

أقبلي يا طيور الجنة .........وغردي على نغماتى

تمايلي يا أزهار الفردوس...........مع طرب قلبي

انسابي يا قطرات الندى.............واغسلي نفسي

لتزفي لى بطاقة دعوة............لحفل مولد روحي

شاعرة لست بشاعرة

يسألونى أتحبين الشعر؟

أجبتهم: الشعر؟

قالوا بلي الشعروما العجب فى الشعر؟

رد لسانى: ما أنا بشاعر

قالوا : فلما نري لك أبيات من الشعر؟

رد لسانى: تصطف كلماتى بأدب فى مقطوعات نثر وليست ببيوت شعر

وتعجبوا ووما منعك أن تكتب شعر؟

سمعت أذناى ورد لسانى: للشعر أهله وما أنا بشاعر

همس عقلي ساخراً: ولمَ تتكلم عن الشعر وأنت لست بشاعر

ردت أذناي : أحب قلبي سماع الشعر

ففرحوا وقالوا: إذاً لنسمعك بعضاً من الشعر يامن تتوق للشعر

فسمعت أذناى ولم يسمع قلبي إلا بعضاً من الشعر

...فيالي من شاعرة لست بشاعرة

أناجيك ربي

أقف على بابك فافتح لى
أناجيك فلا تهملنى
أذوب فى بركان خطيئتى

غلبتنى الدنيا فعليها اعنى
جرفتنى الدنيا وأحلام جهلى
غواصة فى بحر ندمي
أسبح فى محيط غبائي
لا أعرف لى قارب ولا أجد مجاديفي


ضاقت حيلتى فتولنى
وحيدة مكلولة بأفكار السوء فتاهت نفسي عنى
ضلت دروبي فاهدنى


اخطأت فلا تؤاخذنى
اسألك عفوك فامنحه لى

كريم فلا تصدنى
تعلم ما فى نفسي
ولا أعلم مافى نفسك فافرج عنى

أبكيك تكبر فلا أريده أريدك ان تغفره لى

البركة والتوفيق أعرضا عنى
أما أنت فلا تعرض عنى

أنا الجازعة وأنت الجبار فاجبر بخاطري
ربي اسألك اللطف بي

أناجيك..أجيبنى ولا تهملنى
لا أملك إلا كف مرفوع بسؤالك فاجبنى
أناجيك ربي
