Regrets!

I remember that the most critical period of my life were my "Teenage" years. Quick actions in rebellious moments were the core of my life. I wanted to rebel even against myself. I spent my nights and days seeking the pieces of my scattered personality. No one was there to help or offer a hand because I thought I knew everything back then. When people gave me pieces of advice, I used to ignore them because it was my OWN LIFE and no one had the right to interfere and flip my "fake" peaceful life. The consequences of my decisions became to throw the dust around them as I started shaping my real personality. There was no choice of going back, no possibility and I had to bear everything. Realizing that I am stuck and I might spend my whole life regretting and  living the decisions I made, I decided NOT to regret. Now, the actions that seemed to cost me my whole life seem ridiculous. I just feel , like any teenager moving to adulthood, how silly I was. "
Never regret anything because at one time it was exactly what you wanted!"

    Regrets can become either burdens that interfere with our present happiness and restrict our future, or motivation to move forward. Life is now, and we always have a choice to use our energy to create what can be. Moreover God doesn’t want us to carry that heavy baggage throughout our life. He wants us to be free. Regret has a purpose which is to let us know when we’ve done something wrong, to help us develop a better sense of our behavior and how it affects ourselves and others. It pushes us to re-examine our behavior so that we don’t end up making the same mistake twice.

    Personally I regret that I gave many people the chance to be my "friends", they and their sick minds make it impossible in such a thing called friendship. Envy and hatered and most of all their week personality. They try to build their personality by taking advantage of everything we offer even help. And eventually when their real faces are reveled and they notice that they are not under cover anymore they try to escape by putting the blame on us and reverting the truth!

    Absolutely, there is no such thing as a life without any regrets. We sometimes try to make it easier for ourselves not to get into things that make us feel negative toward it and especially toward past acts and behaviors. Regret is often expressed by the word i "wish", one acts in a manner and then wishes no to have done so. But whatever regret remains a case that a person might go through.

    Regrets and teenagers are two faces for the same coin. No teenager have taken the right decision when he decided to saty out late, no teenager made the right decision when he decided to make up his mind on something his parents didn't want. But actually these kind of actions or rebellion actions are really what shape our personality! When u made a wrong decision and u walked through, u knew it was a wrong one or discovered that it was wrong after a while. But u've tasted how breaking the rules feel! And then u decide to learn a lesson from ur wrong decision or to keep going on.

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...
