FUN::: Double U Double U Double U!!

Wanna Get Things Done?

- Start at the top.
- Deal with one item at a time.
- Never put anything back into 'in'.
- If an item requires action:
---- do it (if it takes less than two minutes),
---- delegate it, or
---- defer it.
- If not,
---- file it for reference,
---- throw it away, or
--- incubate it for possible action later.
- The 5-minute Rule: If it would take less than 5 minutes to do something, just do it right away.

100 Days...2007!

Today marks the 100 th day of the year. I think it is a good time to stop and see how far did you achieve in your new year's resolution.

- Did you do what you planned for?
- Did you enhance your plans, and execution?
- Did you loose faith in achieving them?
- Are you happy with what you did so far?
- Is there anything you want to change for a better achievement during the rest of the year?

Either keep the answer to yourself or share with us and discuss. El mohem that you know where are you heading and where are you now!

Goodbye Kiss....Egypt Regional Role!

In 2007 -so far- the deterioration of the Egyptian role in the region became so obvious. Saudi Arabia is the most prominent heir of the lost Egyptian crown. Some obvious signs:

- Palestinian sects peace agreement.
- Arab Summit happenings.
- Key players visits to the area without passing by Egypt (US Senate Chair, German Chancellor,..etc).
- Libya, & Jordan are re-organizing the Egyptian employment, I am afraid to find Sudan regulating it too!!

Ya khosara ya Masr :(

PERSONAL:::My 1st Operation ... It is serious!!

I've just came back from the clinic. Unfortunately, it is much bigger than I thought and I am going to have a surgery in 10 days. I am scared coz I have never done an operation before and I am allergiric to pain killers, hence I will be doing it with "awake mind" (local anesthesia), i.e. they are gonna work on the lower body while I will be hearing and watching!!!

Anyway, pray for me, I will let you know the exact date.

Happiness......What, How, & When?!

Scientifically Happiness is : "The state of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy emotions experienced when in a state of well-being."

However, I do believe it is a very subjective issue. So if I asked you to define happiness, what would you say?

Mohaly

P.S. I personally believe it is the right balance between Soul, Body, Mind, & Heart.

Marriage.....Mind the -age- Gap!

Should age difference (whether positive, equal, or negative) be an important criterion in choosing your life partner? and if it does, what is the age gap that is acceptable and "normal"?

Fair Dictatorship is Needed!!

After seeing what is going on, and talking to a lot of people... I believe that Egypt - in the near future- doesn't need democracy as much as it needs a FAIR & CLEAN Dictator who can force the right things in the right place at the right time, then we can move to democracy. There are many social diseases that need to be cured before moving on to democracy. I am afraid if not, democracy will get us nothing but Al Ekhwan with all their greediness.
Walla eih?

Using Women Bodies....Why is the number of models increasing?

The issue of using women's bodies from contests to ads passing by clips...etc is becoming awful and disgusting. But why girls keep on supporting this, and more & more models are coming up everyday, i don't know. May be a girl will help!

P.S. Guys are welome too.

Ana mesh ma3ahaom....Am I Lost between 2 worlds?!

I am not talking about the movie, but about reality.

-Don't you feel lost between What you do, and What you "should have" done?!

-Don't you feel confused about what you want to do, and what you can do?!

.

I have always been a moderate person when it comes to point of views. I don't like to be an extremist (except in time management :), in religion, i am not fanatic nor non-religious; in politics, i am not capitalist, communist, right wing, left wing, or any (may be my believes are closer to socialist but can't consider myself one); in love, not "sahtan" nor "galanf". I am always having my own way, line, opinion, that may coincide or clash sometimes with one or all of these views.

.

But, and ahhhh men but, although I feel peaceful about this choice, and had lot of success, I feel that I am lost between 2 worlds, West & East. I think, work, operate (manage my day) in a more western style regarding systems, production, plans, studies, time, respect,...etc. However, my feelings are definitely eastern (very sensitive, passionate, emotional, ...etc).

Some people tell me I am lucky coz I am having the best of each world, but do you think I am, or I am lost between 2 worlds?

Mohaly...Gates!!

For my bad luck, the only chance I had to meet Bill Gates in my life was documented with less than half-face. Is there a software that can show the rest of it ?! :)))
Mohaly

If you looked (actually digged) at the picture below, you will find Bill Gates (Micorsoft Chairman), accompanied by Kareem Ramadan (GM Microsoft Egypt), and Ahmed Darwish (Ex.Head of E-Gov project then, now minister). This picture was taken in early 2005 when Gates visted Egypt, and one of the stuff inagurated was a project I was co-managing as MSN Arabia with MS Egypt.



P.S. Tamer Mokhtar, I know you hate the word inagurated, but it is fitting here!

7 Stages of Life...Which stage are you in?

1. Infancy: In this stage he is dependent on others and needs to be constantly attended to.
2. Childhood: It is in this stage that he begins to go to school. He is reluctant to leave the protected environment of his home as he is still not confident enough to exercise his own discretion.
3. Lover: In this stage, comparable to modern day adolescence, he is always remorseful due to some reason or other, especially the loss of love. He tries to express feelings through song or some other cultural activity.
4. Soldier: It is in this age, comparable to modern day young adult, that he thinks less of himself and begins to think more of others. He is very easily aroused and is hot headed. He is always working towards making a reputation for himself and gaining recognition, however shortlived it may be, even at the cost of his own life.
5. Justice: In this stage, comparable to modern day adult, he has acquired wisdom through the many experiences he has had in life. He has reached a stage where he has gained prosperity and social status. He becomes very attentive of his looks and begins to enjoy the finer things of life.
6. Old age: He begins to lose his charm — both physical and mental. He begins to become the brunt of others' jokes. He loses his firmness and assertiveness, and shrinks in stature and personality.
7. Mental dementia and death: He loses his status and he becomes a non-entity. He becomes dependent on others like a child and is in need of constant support before finally dying.

If you think Shakespeare is right in the above, Which Stage are you in?
I think I am stuck in the "Lover" stage, although I have never succeeded to be one!!

Mohaly Blog Stars....YASMINEs Vs. TAMERs!!

I have noticed something..

TAMER Mokhtar always argue with YASMINE Ismail
&TAMER Rezk recently argues with YASMINE Farahat

- The main argument of Mokhtar/Ismail is in the sexual topics, while the Rezk/Farahat in political ones; i.e. Taboos.
- Each one of them is living in a different city (even continent; 2 in Africa, 1 in America, & 1 in Australia)

Is there something wrong with the names that they argue a lot or is it the distance :)

Jeddal about Jammal - Part II - Al Dostour supports Farahat

It seems that the daily doustour is supporting Y Farahat in her opinion against mine :( It seems she has connections!

I will be democratic and publish this public support for Farahat, and I suggest that she, and Bebo establish a new liberal party (not kidding) coz the liberal parties (wafd and ghad) aren't liberal anymore!

By the way there is a rumor that Gamal Mubarak will establish a new party called the "Future Party - Al Mostakbal", yasmine why don't you join?! wala you do all that coz you are jealous from Khadija who won your "dream guy"?!

Are you ready to Pay the Price?!

Many of us dream about many things but few of us actually accomplish them, why? because either we don't know or we don't wanna pay the price of turning the dream into a goal.

According to Rich Lucas, there are five prices that we have to think about. The total price may be one, two, or all of the following:

Financial - How much money will it cost?
Emotional - How will fulfilling this affect your moods?
Mental - Will you have to learn new things?
Physical - How will fulfilling your intention impact on you physically?
Time - How much time will you spend on fulfilling your intention?

So are you prepared to pay the price of your dreams?

April's Fool....The origin, and your experiences!

It has been suggested that Europe derived its April-fooling from the French. France was one of the first nations to make January 1 officially New Year's Day. This was in 1582, even before the adoption of the Gregorian calendar.

Thus the New Year's gifts and visits of felicitation which had been the feature of the 1st of April became associated with the first day of January, and those who disliked or did not hear about the change were fair game for those wits who amused themselves by sending mock presents and paying calls of pretended ceremony on the 1st of April.

French and Dutch references from 1508 and 1539 respectively describe April Fools' Day jokes and the custom of making them on the first of April.

Some western fools: http://aprilfools.urgo.org/

Why don't you share your experience in past or present April fools?!
