Don’t get yourself tired by searching for perfection in people, cause you won’t find it, but [in other hand] searching for self development, and pursuit perfection is considered noble target.
You should consider your body as a hardware, which always need maintenance and developing, plus consider your mind as software which always need updating, and fixing bugs.
If you thought you will achieve development as you grow up normally, you are wrong, you need to seek and work on yourself to achieve what you want.
While I go out, I get shocked from youth of my age, by how do they spend their free time, they take out the chairs to set on the side walk, smoking Arkeela [Bubble hubble], sharing files and videos !! with their cell phones.
It’s summer, and people like to have fun, it’s ok, but the scene, repeat itself every day, from sunset to sun dawn, playing with cards and smoking, nearly 7 hours daily.
They are from my age, from my generation, but I don’t how do they have all that time, yes I’m not working, and yes I’m in my summer vacation, not so busy, but I couldn’t have the chance to set 7 hours at once !!.
I’m not generalizing, cause there are a lot of people who smoke and play cards, but in specific weekly or even monthly periods, after exhausting work time, in this case, it’s ok, cause this is considered as a refreshment for human self. But when it comes as daily habit !!, like every day is a weekend, it’s not logical.
Cause when you lose your time by not investing it, you are not responsible human, even if you are unemployed, you should use your time on self development, like working out, reading, level up your speech skills, make your speech more meaningful, more useful, not all the time, cause every one need to have fun once and while.
One day, while being in photocopy center, waiting for my order, I saw the typing man, holding two papers, trying to type them [keyboard them], he put the papers down, searching for a lighter, once he found it, he sat and light up his cigarette, then start typing, I focused on him a little, I discovered, that each 20~30 seconds, he needs 10 seconds, to inhale his smoke, then put it back. Some of ashes fell on the keyboard, he started to cursing and swearing, he left up the keyboard, and blow it with air. That took 20 minutes.
Tow paper !! if he were serious, he would probably done in 10 minutes, I went out and back, but he were in the first page, and another smoke was lighten up, where is the command and quality in his work?!.
In Aleppo city [my city], which is the economical capital of Syria, shops and markets don’t open till 11 or 12 am, the dealers are lazy, they claim that there is not demand in the early morning, how would there be a demand while you are closing? Who will buy if you are closed?.
The mayor of Aleppo lately ordered the shops and markets to open in 9am, even myself wishing to make the markets open and available 24/7, specially the shopping malls, but the dealers objected this law, they don’t want to open early, cause most of them, slept lately to the sun dawn, watching TV, or playing cards.
Why this laziness, there is intention to do the work in serious way, even they don’t like to provide the best customer service, all they want is the money, and the customer needs are the last in the list, no one is excited to work, even taxi drivers, which he is not satisfy with the counter rate, or satisfy with your destination, neither you as a customer, even if you have the money, they just want to serve you with the least effort, and take the highest sum.
They claim by the low salary in companies and low profit in corporations, but if that so, why we see many Syrian companies which is pretty successful, what is the difference between them, successful and losers?.
Why people don’t work on their selves, improving their capabilities, why they don’t read as an example?, I’m not that guy who read a lots, but I read, and I find joy in reading, very useful and important.
How can we change, why should we change? Serdal [Arabic] is saying it’s stupidity to re use the same solutions which proved its failure, he focus on important point, which is, we should not fight changing, and take some risk, and I add, you should always be convicted with the desire of development, changing on healthy basics, don’t ever get satisfy with your current statues, always look higher, but in realistic way, with an eye of positive hope.
It’s nice to accept yourself, but it’s more nicer to accept that you deserve more, you deserve better, and you should seek to change yourself by yourself, once again, if you were not serious in changing yourself, you will never achieve that.
After forcing drivers to fast seatbelts [in Aleppo city], they got angry !!. no one can force them, like this belt is to execute them not to save them.
The funny thing, the drivers started to put the seatbelt on them, without fasting it, plugging it with its socket, so funny, and so sarcasm.
I told the driver while he is passing red light !!, you forgot to fast your seatbelt, he answered me: yes I know, no one sees me.
The stupid understood me, as advising him to avoid police attention, not to save his life, in case of accident, once again, no responsibility nor quality in the work.
Secret of change, is from yourself, Be serious in your work, cause your work is a reflection on you, and on your identity, always seek development, improve your lifestyle, from eating to walking!!, even your way of speak.
