Disappointments!

Disappointments are of different shapes and colors. You can become disappointed from others around you. You can become disappointed from a news you hear or a movie you watch. Yet, the worst kinds of disappointments are those related to yourself; when you really disappoint yourself. Some people would think this is such an exaggeration but trust it is not. Any person who goes to bed at night and replay the events that took place throughout the day will be able to point out the things he had done and disappointed himself by.
We often do things for the sake of others and we miss to enjoy the pleasure of it. We give yet we disappoint ourselves by losing what we had given. In many other times, we disappoint ourselves when we are not able to give credit to them as we succeed in something. Many people would work hard and spend more than half of their lives to impress someone or a certain group of people without being able to compliment their own work. My final thoughts to you is to try to impress yourself more than others and that is the place where self satisfaction is to be born.

    We should encourage this view! We have to enhance the way we look at ourselves so that we work to satisfy no one but ourselves..

    For me, disappointment is one of life’s most uncomfortable feelings. It’s complex, containing a subset of other emotions like anger, hurt and sadness. Sometimes, those emotions by themselves are easier to deal with, but disappointment can leave me at a loose end. Disappointment brings a grey perspective on life, even if I am trying to forget about it. We are all under external pressure, I’m not suggesting we lock ourselves away for weeks at a time whenever we have been disappointed, but to be aware of any sense of obligation to just get over it. At this moment allow yourself to feel what you’re feeling without speeding up the process. If I don’t know what my values are, I may not have a framework to support me when I experience negative emotions. For example, one of my core values is open-heartedness. I wish to keep an open heart and be ready to share love and kindness with others, irrespective of how they might behave. When someone disappoints me and I feel like closing and withdrawing, I remember this core value, then pause and make a choice.
    I have to accept that I will continue to be disappointed—that it is a part of life, part of being human. I also have to accept that I will probably continue to struggle to accept this fact, at various points throughout the rest of my life. Disappointment is a part of life, but all parts of life can help us grow. We can be present and aware even in the midst of negative emotions and therefore life more fully.

    Malak thank you for this comment.
    Kinana i loved what you wrote and it seems that we agree on the concept of disappointment. I feel I am more inclined to take the solutions you offered into consideration. People would usually be "Disappointed" but never aim to deal with it.

External Beauty.

Image
Once you ask someone about "Beauty", he would reply that beauty comes within the soul. People would run into this answer but they actually form first impressions about a certain person by analyzing his external appearance. Studies have showed that people are usually attracted to tall persons and deny the friendship of shorter ones at the beginning. Research has gone deeper into analyzing what facial expressions would help their holder in establishing quicker relationships. I was surprised when I read about a study that concluded people with wide pupil of their eyes attract more viewers. Some people would eventually prefer the internal beauty and deny the external one. I believe the problem lies in our definition of beauty and the criteria we follow when judging a person -male or female- as beautiful or not. Who ever said that a fat person does not fit the criteria or a red headed boy is not beautiful? Each one has a special kind of beauty away from any ugly criteria that wo...

Authenticity of EDUC 560!!

Educ 560 might seem a simple code that would mean nothing to others but a course. While others are thinking of what they should do to pass this course, my major thoughts revolved around the things I can do to my students and how to benefit myself. Each time that I left the class, I thought about how to use the business cards as ice breaking activity for my little students. I have also found a nicer way to publish students' work through posters or newsletters that can show it all at the first glance. And is there a better place to spread your work worldwide than a blog?  Nothing would last in your memory unless you fetch its use in your real life.

Smart Phones!

Image
I really miss sitting around the table or in a certain place without clicking and pecking in our "SMART" phones. It is impossible to see people gathering without chatting. But what kind of chatting? They keep their heads down and their eyes on a glowing screen for sometimes silly reasons. These advances seem to be so tempting but it doesn't mean that we should give up social life for the sake of social media. I feel sorry sometimes when I see people lacking the social skills to a degree that they can only start a conversation through "Whats-app" or any other social media. When using technology and smart phones for beneficial reasons, no harm can happen. Yet, people of different age levels are using this technological revolution as an escape from real life. I miss seeing a child playing in the mud instead of smashing a candy in " Candy Crush". Are smart phones making us smarter or are we losing part of our intelligence? That part that has to do with t...
