"CHALLLEEEENGE!!" Sneaky smile, Bill Cosby

-

Behind PC’s that look like bars and office cubicles that resemble cells in a tight security prison… what makes us tick?

Amazed and sadly amused by what drives us on and on… for 8, 10 even 16 hours a day of slavery forced by our own “FREE” will, in pursuit of happiness (this has nothing to do with the movie)… Anyway back to the "harj"…

It looks like everyday people focus more and more on money to the point that the more important stuff is put aside… Personally, it amazes me how I can always find some extra hidden energy reserve when its about work but find myself too tired to do anything else…

The problem is, I’m really not the kind of person who is so attached to money, at least I thought so… and so did the people who knew me… but numbers suggest otherwise and numbers do not lie…

So what has this to do with Bill Cosby screaming “CHALLEEENGE” to the old tap dancer, (wonderful old episode by the way)… with that sneaky smile… calling him to rise to the floor and show his best? Almost nothing…

But I have a challenge for you…

I made this amusing exercise to check on how money driven I’ve become and see where other people are heading… I’ll call it the (Spiritual Meter) you can call it the GREED MONITOR ;) …

So here comes the challenge…

In a week, see how many hours are spent on:

1) Work (Studying qualifies only if you’re a student, if it doesn’t what does?
2) Sleeping (I love this part)
3) Eating :(
4) Spiritual activities. (Prayer, reading the holy book, Meditation, etc).
5) Education (& Guess what, TV Comedy series do not count for improving your English)
6) Fitness and sports…
7) Entertainment (quality family time counts)…
8) Others…

Now time to calculate some percentages.... So, based on 7 days a week or (168 hours) my scores were as follows:

40% Work 68 hours (66 hours 11 hrs six days + 2 on firday’s) :(
30% Sleeping
12% Entertainment
4.8% Eating
4.8% Spiritual Fulfillment
1.8% Education… (I read a little :) hmmm too little…)
1.5% Fitness
5.1% Others (Misc. Activities… ya was wondering about time spent in shopping & bathrooms)

So where do you stand? Time to rethink your priorities if your spending more time on Eating than on your education and spiritual fulfillment…

Destroying A King's School in Jordan (Built in 1947)

These are the pictures that tell the story of tearing apart a landmark in this country's heritage. If you want to torture a man who has great passion for the history of Amman, all you have to do is take him to stroll down Jabal Amman and walk around the School that was built in 1947, the "Islamic Scientific College" It's wall once stood tall all around the buildings that constituted the architectural stamp of a different era. Jordan is still young, a country that is less than a hundred years, so when you talk about buildings that are 60 Years old. The first international football field , is no longer there, instead you will find the new buildings in this picture. Some of the most influential people in this country studied behind those thick walls. Including King Hussein, Ministers, Princes, Politicians, Opposition figures and many more. The school's management seems to have a different architectural opinion!! So they started renovating, demolishing, removing struc

When did Jordan become a country?

-
What makes a country? better yet what is the definition of a country? It is not meant to make Jordan any less of a nation or a culture when you say that Jordan as a country didn't exist 100 hundred years ago. There is a big difference between an inhibited land and a country. "A country" adds the dimension of political identity, of a nation that moves with its self appointed leadership towards it's own agenda. Before the so called "independence" of Arab countries, we were part of a larger nation and a larger political cluster. It was not ONLY Jordan... Almost every other Arab country did not exist as an individual political structure as it does today. And we were sold the concept of "A COUNTRY" as if it is the greatest achievement of our modern times. Our greatest disappointment was sold as our greatest achievement!! The unity of the Arab nations was broken down with lines of ink held sacred on fresh glossy maps with 21 proud new flags!!

حسني مبارك و حكومته هما عنوان الغضب الشعبي... ولكن ذلك يصل مشوها إلى مسامع المصريين فأغلب ما يصل إليهم هو غضب العرب و المسلمين من مصر و هناك فارق كبير بين أن تكره الحكومة و أن تكره مصرو الإعلام الرسمي يلعب لعبة قذرة... فأحب ما يصل إلى أسماع الإسرائيليين هو الفرقة و الكراهية بين الشعوب العربية...و خصوصا مصر فهم يحاولون عزلها منذ كامب ديفيد لما يعلمون من ثقلها في العالم العربي و الإسلامي فلم تحرر القدس في زمن من الأزمان إلا بتوحد مصر و الشام خلف راية واحدة...ه و جهود المفرقين لا تزال تصب لعزل مصر عن محيطها فمن المطالبين بالعودة إلى الأصل الفرعوني و نبذ كلمة عربي إلى الإستغلال المسموم من الصحافة و الأبواق الرسمية التي تستمر في تصوير النزاع على أنه نزاع بين الشعوب و المصالح و للأسف يقع الكنير من المتحمسين لغزة في فخ تمزيق الأمة فترى من يسب و يشتم مصر و كلنا يعلم أن ما يميز الشعب المصري هو إنتماؤه و اعتزازه الشديد بمصر بحضارتها و تاريخها و من المعلوم أنك إذا أردت أن تخسر مصريا فلا تشتم أباه و لا أقاربه كل ما عليك هو أن تشتم مصر... ه المتظاهرون عادة ما يكونون مشحونون بالعواطف إلى أقصى الح
