A Wondering Soul and a Mind Observer – II
It is a wondering soul that I have but observing my mind is like a navigation that leads it to paradise. Oh Paradise, a place where everything is perfect and nothing is missing. It’s a place that we make it hard to reach even though it exists in each one of us, in every action we do and in every moment we succeed in being our own before we become other’s.
It is usually surprising for us when we know that in the hard times we live we usually achieve and save for the good times to come. One of the most
Lessons in Leadership XLVI – Poor Rich Fellow Human
Poor he is not of material but of the knowledge to find his way in the mad world that his mankind created for him. He is poor and lost in a world that he formatted with excellence and great skill. Anxiety is what leads him into the darkness that he defined it according to his dictionary as an undesired place.
Weakness is what he brings with him to this world on the day he is born. Lost he is when being a child, a revolutionary in his young age and a childish old man in his winter. Fool enough not to understand the world he created is what describes him.

Life, Humans and their Mind IV – Our Story
One of the great things that we, humans are great in doing is creating stories for the events that we pass through. We usually create stories so we can [singlepic id=428 w=320 h=240 float=right] remember the experiences that we go through. The experiences could be good and also bad. Defining whether what we pass through is good or bad depends on the story that we create.
For example if someone is asked about a specific event or time of his or her life, it would be difficult to remember all the details of this part and therefore we create a story that may develop with time but continues to hold a specific meaning that is related to the values and beliefs that we hold as the core of our life.

One of the obstacles that prevent us from achieving or creating something new is when we use our thoughts and abilities only to fight other
A Few words about Life
One of the greatest challenges which one would go through is the kind that takes place between someone and his mind. There is nothing more difficult than conquering ourselves in order to become the one we want. These challenges usually turn us into who we continue to be through our life.
The battle starts when a revolutionist thinks about rising against what we call a belief system. A belief system is a collection of beliefs and ideas that we are taught since our birth. Usually these beliefs, ideas and the society create for us a purpose that we live upon for the rest of our life. Overcoming what we
Lessons in Leadership XXXVI – Responsibility
Taking responsibility no matter what happens is one of the attributes of a leader. Responsibility is related to the decisions we make in our life. Our decisions [singlepic id=271 w=320 h=240 float=right] bring us the result of what we do and then we either declare our responsibility of the consequences of our actions results or we simply try to escape from it.
