Money comes later

I was planning and behaving according to this concept that if I focused for the time being in excelling and mastering what I'm doing derived by this passion, just only driven by the passion for doing it, money will come later, but if you focus your effort only because of the money now, you will be short sighted and you will not reach to the same altitude. That's what I heard today about the talented football players in Africa, where this was the first advice to them.

Blogging works

Definitely blogging works. It helps me not only to consolidate my thoughts and ideas but to generate them and formulate and articulate them and yes to generate them. So when I go back and read them there is a chain reaction. Where ideas are generating additional ideas and so on. And helps me to think. Thinking simply is a self dialogue and it is part of the blogging will stimulate your mind to think and to analyze your situations and to conclude the facts about the life.

Career Planning

Because of the blogging there is an emerging plan now consolidated by time. Bits and pieces of this plan is fitting gradually together and gain because of the blogging can stimulate your mind and trigger your mind to think. You are free here to decide and to dream and to plan. I want to start my online master by 2010 to be finished by late 2011. So by the end of 2011 I will be 38 and I have almost 13 year of experience and master. So I want to hit as well the 10k bar and achieve certain level of saving where I didn't think about it yet. I want to think about private business as well like the digital energy. Investing on myself holding master which will cost me 90000 EGP. So my plan that I will claim back this investment in two months of my salary to be 8K equivalent to 40000. then it is worthy. it is time and effort against the earning. I want to start as well my PHD by this time so by 40 I will have it. I'm running out of time. It will be either PHD or MBA to start. MBA dedicated for Oil and Gas. I want as well to boost my learning curve and to cease each chance to step up my career ladder. as a backup plan exploring more opportunities in SLB and being more practical. If the private business will be serious and key objectives then it will be the development of Ocean and the development of the domain knowledge and putting more pressure on the courses and the knowledge gain. scientific thinking and scientific notes have to be accelerated. Career planning is related to your objectives of life and what do you want to achieve in your life.

Facing confrontations

Don't be afraid

Keep your internal peace

If the other party is threatening know then that they will likely have nothing else rather than threatening

Show your professional attitude

Prepare your case and you arguments

Brainstorm your mind about your case and your argument.

Serious dealing with it like the attorney in the court.

I enjoy these simple joys in life

This weekend, I managed to reserve some time for reading National Geographic magazine. I really enjoyed it and it was really joyful. Reading it is really giving me some internal peace by keeping my head away from the work stresses. It is good technique for release the pressure and managing the stress. I'm playing in the work some classic music as another way to ease the pressure and soften the harsh environment I have now in the work. Listening to the news is another way because you are not becoming trapped in my problem but it is another escape route to occupy my mind with others problems.

Raising kids

Kids in our life are becoming byproducts rather than cause of our life mission. You have major cause in your life that to raise your kids as best as you can and pay the most attention to their health, emotional health.

May I enjoy some peace

May I enjoy some peace with myself and do really constructive and bright things in my life like reading good novel or good book or listening to the music or reading good scientific paper or going to a museum.

I'm not asking for too much. I'm just asking for enjoying simple things.
