I am just going to write a very very short note. It's just that I sign in to write something in my mind that I wanted to discuss but I was thinking is any-one reading this. To be honest with you I am not to fussed about subscribers etc. and the whole point of me blogging is sharing my thoughts with others, but the question is is there any-one reading this really, would be interesting just for you to let me know...leave a comment.....share your thoughts with me.......even if you dissagree...dont worry I have though skin and I can handle it.........
Oh another research I stumbled on today:Apparently Sweden is no 2 country to grow up in..after netherland....according to the researchers the country has the highest percentage of healthiest children in terms of intellectuallity (if there is a word like this) and eating habits. I found this interessting since I myself usedto live in this country and I do think that they do a very good job in introducing healthy lifestyle to kids from very young age....but un terms of growing up there are alot of issues........to be continued

Respect?
I bet you already know what I want to talk about by reading the title, but please don't think oh here we go again another person lecturing us on respect! but seriously I have been silently observing things happening around me and I just question peoples intention sometimes. my first question is what is the definition of respect according to the accurate description and this is what I found:
1) to avoid the violation of someones feelings
2) to regard someone/something state with honor and consideration
and then I think no-one has ever had to tell me these consept its logical isnt it or is it? even if your parent have never tought you the concept of not violating someone elses feelings or honor its just ingraved in us as human beings, or is it? and then you meet people and this is sometimes the problem, you meet people who have no consideration for pure humanity and you try to and you try your hardest to understand the lack of consideration in their behaviour and their actions and you fail to understand it becasue you discover its complex and it involves complexcities in their lives and experiences which has shaped their behaviour and personality but what the fail to understand is that their lack of consideration and lack of non-violent behaviour has a greater implication. Just look around you in a greater perpectives: the wars, humanitarian and environmental crises, inequalities (gender as well as financial status), racism, interpersonal crises (marriages, parents versus children, employers versus employees, work collegues etc) have in them the reason of lack of respect in one way or which starts as lack of willingly acknowliging the other party (in terms of the environmental issue lack of respect for environmental laws) and that lack turns into lack of understanding and that can easily turn into violation of the honor and that initself forms tension and all apprectioations and coherences goes out of the window. SAD isn't it really.......humanity for you.........I would like to relate a story I am not sure if it should be related under this topic and wheather it has any link to what I have just mentioned but its just popped into my head and so I will have to say it any whay, so here it goes:
Moses (peace upon him) asked god who will join me in paradise and god responded that the next person who will join you will pass by you in a while, and so moses waited eagerly to find out. He was thinking it would be someone who was highly thought of in terms of no faults and so on and so the person passed him by and he saw that it was and ordenairy guy and and so moses decided to follow him to discover what was special with him. He saw him entering a small house belonging to an old lady and because the windows were open moses would observe what was happening inside the house. he observed him going into the kitchen and making food and sat next to the elderly lady and before continuing moses decided to go into the house. He asked the guy who are you and what are doing in this elderly lady's house. The guy said: this is my mother and come several times during the day to help her out and my mum keeps repeating a prayer for me constantly and that is to: I pray that my son becomes the companion of moses in paradise. In fact this man had respect not only for his mum, but for the environment, his co-workers,his, his friends, his own family and for life!

Getting older, time, stages and prioritising??????
salams (peace)
so again I have been away for a very long time, but this time instead of feeling a year older I feel 360 degrees older of there is an expression like that! And when I say older I mean intellectually older, or maybe I have jsut come across much younger people on a regular basis, no seriously. I am just amazed by how time does really go very quickly and how ones life takes you to different stages even when you didnt ask for it or even though you happy and content to be in one stage forever. For example take samy (just a random name no offense to any samies out there) he is conent being in the childhood stage where all that occupies his mind is the school that he attends to teach him the basics of educational matters and the racing cars he can play with after school, and how to best annoy his older brother. But sooner than later samy grows up and samy realises that focusing on racing cars and his older brother wont take him anywhere, so his entire energy is putt on studying, and with this samy realises that he has to sacrifice his time and devoution. He also gains skills such as understanding the meanings of taking responsibility, time management, working under pressure, deliverying high standard work etc. With growth samy reaslises that his thinking dimesnion has taking him so far that now he has a choice of deciding his potential success in the future (with the understanding that god has pre-determinded it)and so samy finishes his educational pathway and embarks on competetive vacancy, samy learns how to be aggressive and the art of speech inorder to get the vacancy. Samy get the job and all that occupies his mind now is the making of great amount of money and climb up the ladder. Once samy has satisfactory achived this he stopps, stopps to rethink how on earth have I been able to come this far? from being this inocent young child to this beast who is hunting for something that ay come and go, he pounders over his lost innocence and whiches he could have really tasted the stages of his transition from child to adulthood in a calmer and more peaceful manner. Sooner than later he realises that now he himself is bringing up the next samy!!!!
Prioritising should never be seen as something unatural but essential.Sorting out what is important and what really is not is a hard task but needs to be done since it will direct our focus and energy to the things we really should spend more time with such as family, inner reflections, having a particular goal(s), etc and most importantly try to live the stages we go through since by understanding what we go through will make us realise if we are giving the most important matters our most important focus!
do I make sence or am I rabbling again, may be I need more sleep???

Travel, people and differences
Salams
yepp me again! so today I have strong urge to discuss the little or not so little globe that we all share. So why do we all love to travel to different continents, thats my question tonight, trust me if I really knew the answer I wouldn't have brought the subject up. But seriously isn't it funny that the same people that will let you know how much that they are inate to this country and how much you cannot be part of it as well as so often letting you know how much they want you to go back to your home country, the same people have funnly enough expressed enemousity towards other peoples culture (including food and dress)and practice. And the more funny thing is that the same people have had the choice to travel to the parts of the world that they have such a strong issue with, spent time with its people, eaten the their food and experienced and happly shared their culture, and so I wounder wasnt you the same person who supposedly hated and made funn of this particular culture and practices, or you ust wanted to have a first hand experinece and so you decided to fly all the way there!
To my understanding no one at least no sane human being I have met hates travelling. You probably have heard people or seen that when ever people decide to take a break from work or studies and really want chill out they most oftenly will book themselves a fligth to another location or country. I belive its human innate nature in us to visit other people, see how they live, get an insigth in to their cultures and belives. In the qur'an initself god says that he (and he I don't mean in the male form because god is free from the narrow descriptions and definitions that we have for ourselfs) has created us all into different nations and tribes so that we may know one another. This is how I understand this: imagine if we all were of one race, one colour and we all had the same practices and belife system. Oh my god how boring this globe would have been, just imagine that whenever you came to england you would come across joe (I have nothing against the name joe just as an example) and you happen to travell to china and you came across another identical joe and you travelled to africa and you come across another identical joe. You probably would never leave your door step! and hence would never get to know one another and hence this globe would be a very isolating place where everyone keeps themselves for themselves. But our sence of differences is what gives us the joy to understand and learn more about each other and once we share our experineces with one another thats what brings us together, but what we have within us is sometimes fear for the unkown and an ego. These characteristics unfortunately are animalistic and I confidently say so because is the trait that we share with animals (well at lest some)and some have a strong sence of it more than others particularly those who have not had the chance to travel and there lies the problem, Since having fear of the other who is seen as soo different you have already created a barrier and labelled the person infront of you as soo different from you that you cannot and will not approach and try to understand the potential other and as we all know its far easier to sit back and build hatered and mockery of the other. Its funny when people meet me for the first time because I am not exactly your everyday joe when they approach me and have talked to me would after a while say that they didn't think I would be approachable and I think for my self well thank go I have been able to break one ego just a million to go :)

lyrics
Salams
today I just wanted to discuss a completely different topic from the unusual topics that I have discussed here, namely lyrics. Why does lyrics wheather in a poetic form or ina rime or song why does it evoke such emotion and I mean deep attached emotion. Different lyric have different meanings, some tell a story lived by the author other proclaim a motion which may be prevelant in the society and thus tries to mention it in form of lyrics to proclaim a message wheather a negative or positive. And then we have what I call unecessary lyrics and before you jump into conclusion of me being anti-lyrics I will explain what I mean. for exapmle you have lyrics written in such mannner that it targets a topic which is disrespecting, possibly promoting an unhealthy living and this is not far away from what we see today. I mean just walk in into a major CD shop or much better enter you tubes side of music and there it is pluntly staring you in the face and sometimes unavoidable. These lyrics sometimes promote violence, hatred, cruelty and degradation to certain group pf society and sometimes in the female form. Moreover this absolutely has an affect to the person listening in one way or the other it sooner than later draws its morals and priciples towards you that is if you the type of person who become easily affected and provoked with your surroundings like the famous quote from Malkom X who said: if you dont stand for something then you will fall for anything.
On the other hand I strongly belive in lyrics with meaning! what do I mean I hear you cry out loud ok not loud, but seriously some lyrics when you hear it or read it once it touches a chore with you and is soo deep in its meaning and defines so much and which one can connect with in several levels. There is a sentence in the qur'an which mentions that a nice word is like a nice healthy tree which has its roots deep in the ground and which its branches is healthy and is growing towards the sky and its effect to its surroundings is one of aboundance. I wouldnt be able to draw such perfect comparison better then my creator, i.e. since the nice word/words has come from a healthy source it must one way or the other impose positive healthy reaction to the reader or listener psychologically, and that is why if you really think you will probably be able to list all (well at least most of them) the people who have had a profound effect on you by their words expressed to you since it probably it caused you to react in a postive or healthy manner and you probably remember the action or reaction. And if you think really hard you will struggle remember all the people who have mentioned ill words to you sence the ill word have had a bad source like an ill tree with weakened branches and not a steady root either and so human beings tend to easily forget such experinece.
I will end my bla bla with lyrics which I belive are rich in nature in all its shape and form but its also nicer to hear as sound:
Most times I’m the most strong I’m the rock the spot you get support from
Mostly cope with hopes that’s been rolled on
And when you’re low you know that you can hold on me
In a heartbeat I can be there the fears and tears you cry I’m by your side so dry your eyes
And let me provide peace of mind in time I know you’ll be fine
And if it’s heartbreak I can take some off your plate replace the lies and hate with smiles of faith
You fall deep I could fall with you. The dark is a familiar place you’re lost I can help you escape
It was my fate (pain) so that I can relate
Now when I can’t even stand I can handle the weight
I’ll be your shoulder for as long as I can but where’s the shoulder for my shoulder when I can’t........
salam/peace

Life
I dont know today I have strange thougths about whats around me although its something inside me, if you know what I mean. First of all I cannot deny something I am blessed, I mean I am blessed with my life which I am so thankful for. Things I see everyday makes me wounder about others life. For example the other day I was exiting the tube station where I stumbled on a homeless person outside the tube station. It was a cold day with none-stop rain. I remembered I had a bag of crisps that I hadn't touched in my bag so I decided to donate it to the mr x dont wanna call him homeless for respect. So I approached him and asked him if he wanted crips and he rudely refused and so I carried on with my buisness. This reminds me of a hadith where its mentioned that one day man will be walking along and look for someone to donate wealth to but will find no-one to accept it. Basically the point is to try to give now as much as you can before the chance slips away.
Another of lifes wounders I have lately come across is the incidence of the market. I was making my intention to get some physically training at the gym and was passing by the market where I live inorder to get there. While passing I saw a women in her mid-age parked her buggy outside a shop infront of the market place. The child in the buggy who you could estimate to be 2 years of age had his both legs amputated. The lady took out a bucket and placed it next to her and took out what it look liked an article of a picture of her two-year old and she started to narrate her story to the pass-byers. I usually is somone very private and like to mind my own buisness but couldnt ignore this womens call. She told the story of her two-year old how he cougth meningitis and had suffered tremendously and the disease cougth his limbs which were thereby amputated to stop the spread and she needed to raise £25.000 inorder to continue his progress of treatment. The issue here is some people may say oh why cant she raise the money in another way instead of begging in this way. I mean the point here is that a person let alone a mother wouldnt humiliate herslef and bring herself and her son to the extent of asking passbyers to help her. No one should ask for help in this manner it really breaks my mind and heart, I just feel that people should be a bit more sympathetic. I think I just expected too much from the human race without taking into account the fact that we still have an animalistic instinct within us!
And so the my last words for this post. I want to dedicate my words to a friend of mine who recently passed away. I wich I got to know her better, I wich I talked to her more often I which I could have been of any help to her......
Saying goodbye is the hardest one has to do
saying good-bye was not part of my plan
the road we have travelled together has parted
yet you have left us here with our testing lifes
As you move on from here I pray that you are in the finnest place
that your smile is shining in you grave
that your laughter is heard by the angels surrounding you and
that you have find the peace and tranguility of gods presence
Amen

sparks in your position?
Salam
its me once more! Thanks to God I am in a good health and shape, but the last couple of months have been testing. I have been job hunting in which I realised its very tyring. I really do take my hats off to people who is in this position at the moment and which them all the best. Honestly how many interviews do you really have to attend before you hear that yes. Frankly speaking sometimes I feel that the whole selection process can be a bot personal. I mean I always thought that people are selected for their experience, qualification and the contribution that they will bring to the postion on offer. However I have come to realise that it actually can be far away from this and based on alot of personality trait. I mean I will give and example to clarify; my intention is not to talk badly about anyone but I have come across people who cannot fulfill the postion given but will be choosen on the bases of being the loudest, rudest, argumentative and the most arrogant. Sadly saying these traits are sometimes seen as desireable. However these are the same traits that according to my stance is seen to be very uncharacteristic and should be avoided. I myself prefer going into an interview with bags of optimism, honesty, a wide vision of ones achiviement of the role on offer, focus but also compassion and motivation. These are the traits that I believe should be scrutinised and one accepted for offcourse together with ones previous experiences and achievements. I will just mention an incedence which when I heard I thought it was funny. I was watching this programme on TV regarding several contestant who where competing all for the one and same postion to become a "porducer" and so they were all given tasks and responsibilities to fulfill and then they were going to be judged by this a person who has been in the buisness for decades and who supposedly knew what was required/traits to become a producer. And so when all tasks were completed he began to sack one person after another and some of the reasons were that one was disorganised, made mistakes in their research regarding accuracy of information (big mistake I agree), and the inrony was that the person he choose to stay had also made mistakes in her editing, information giving, and direction given. However he chooce her to compete with the remaining contestent becasue he felt she had a spark in her! and I was like WHAT???? Since when was sparks a trait which others can feel and which can make me a successfull person??? I mean seriously if someone had said that to me: "We have chosen you because you have a spark". I would seriously feel offended and I would simple walk away from the opportunity simple becuase this person has diregarded my hard work, my all time achievements, my motivation to continuously strive for the better, my skills, practical work and knowledge and my dedication to my work and attitude and behaviour. Secondly how would I be able to workfor an organisation which has direspected all of this and has chosen me on the bases of something not quantifable and nothing that will add value to my work I mean I cant see how sparks will drive my work can you? Any ways I have rambled too much, hope I made my point clear. I just hope that people in so called an authorised position could just be abit more realisitic when it comes to filling posts and be clear as to who they want and what qualities the person should possess, and please do it in a sincere and quantifiable manner.
Hope I didnt sound to aggressive here.......but I am just talking from experience. And at the end of the day I sincerely belive that if one strives for the good then good will be found one way or the other!
peace

Since when was sparks a trait which others can feel and which can make me a successfull person??? I mean seriously if someone had said that to me: "We have chosen you because you have a spark". I would seriously feel offended and I would simple walk away from the opportunity simple becuase this person has diregarded my hard work, my all time achievements, my motivation to continuously strive for the better, my skills, practical work and knowledge and my dedication to my work and attitude and behaviour. Secondly how would I be able to workfor an organisation which has direspected all of this and has chosen me on the bases of something not quantifable and nothing that will add value to my work I mean I cant see how sparks will drive my work can you? Any ways I have rambled too much, hope I made my point clear. I just hope that people in so called an authorised position could just be abit more realisitic when it comes to filling posts and be clear as to who they want and what qualities the person should possess, and please do it in a sincere and quantifiable manner.
Hope I didnt sound to aggressive here.......but I am just talking from experience. And at the end of the day I sincerely belive that if one strives for the good then good will be found one way or the other!
peace
