I strongly believe that I'm still using very tiny portion of mind. Certainly, I'm not get the maximum potential of it.
I need to improve the utilization of it and exercise the full operation of it continuously. It is all about thinking more and more and and more efficient thinking.
It is all about operating my mind.
I started to closely observe how I'm using my mind in my daily life activities.
It is very useful process to evaluate the efficiency of my mind during my daily activities.
The amount of creative and innovative ideas and the logical and mathematical processes.
The level of processing.
for instance, the conversation is representing a major activity in my daily personal and professional activities, however my mental activity is mainly the spontaneous reaction with so much processing. It is a point of concern where I need to increase the thinking while talking and leverage the level of my speech.
Another crucial point, the negative influences from the surroundings where the surrounding people or the environment sometimes represent a depressing and discouraging ambiance.
I should resist this negative influence and free my mind.
It is my current interest and challenge, how I can unlock the full potential of mind and reflect that on the quality of my life.

Diversity is additional value to the community
Diversity is definitely additional strength to the communities. The monotonous pattern is in the contrary side where it represents the disability of the community to accept the others and accept new ideas or people or thoughts. It is a mental disability.
Accepting the others and protecting their believes is empowering the self-confidence of the community. Otherwise, the community or the individual will be so fragile and can not stand any wave of change.
Talent and the contribution in the society what should measure the citizenship and not the ethnicity or the religions or the believes.
Each person has the full freedom to believe in whatever he wants but everybody believes in the common values of the whole community.

Discrimination
I despise from the bottom of my heart any sort of discrimination whether it is based on racial, ethnic, gender, religion, or identity. Any form of discrimination is representing the most primitive act of our behavior.
One of the shameful disgrace that the humanity is still struggling to accept the equality between the different races, and nationalities and religions.
Accepting the others regardless to their colors and believes are still far from being a global well established concept or moreover practice.
Recently in Egypt we have faced renewed sectarian clashes where the rejection of the mutually living and sharing with the "other" was the main norm.
The society which can not endorse all its factions and sectors is a weak society and it's not capable to accept the differences. It is a major weakness point.
Everybody talks about establishing the state of law and justice but when it comes to practice our basic and primitive bias are surfacing and the principles are compromised.
Toppling the regime was easier than toppling our taboo legacy differences and we need to conquer our narrow minded rejection of the others and endorse it under the shared interest and the mutual respect of life and rights.
I can tell about dozens and dozens of situation where I've seen the discrimination is still essential component of our daily life.
I've experienced it in the workplace where the nationalities belonging to the developed countries are treated different from the unlucky nationalities who are belonging to the developing countries.
I was standing in the visa queue in one of the Arabian gulf states airport and I was requested to leave it and join another queue because of my passport identity.
I spent three hours in the airport to pass the entry gates!!.
When I shared this painful experience with my western colleagues I knew they was instructed to be queued in separate lane dedicated for the western countries.
Add to that how the Asian maids are treated and house servants and the black Africans . the list will be so long if you want to point to the discrimination situations.
Unfortunately the discrimination is still deeply rooted in our cultural system and our mindset.
I consider it very primitive and very stupid to judge and stereotype the people based on the most baseless and non-sensible categorization system the humanity has ever used.
In my perspective the most negative impact of this ugly practice is the losses of a real added value to the community and to the society by aliening them and losing the social peace and creating unhealthy hatred environment.
This has destroyed and damaged a lot of communities.
If you want to measure how civilized the community, then measure their level of discrimination.

Strauss Kahn
Attempted rape and unlawful imprisonment. Those are the allegations against Strauss Kahn.
Regardless to the conspiracy theories and the media footage, I was impressed with this incident.
Arresting IMF chief accused with attempted rape of hotel servant is not common event.
This is how I perceived the incident. African migrant working as a hotel servant and was harassed and even attacked by a president ranked profile.
This case would remain as a theoretical case in the majority of the current world.
In USA, the justice system acted in a full unbiased way and they arrested him a normal accused person.
Applying the law blindly on the person no matter his position is the real justice people are striving to get.
No political consideration and no emotional consideration and no other consideration.
In my country they would cover up the situation as an unquestioned normal practice.
It is very satisfying to leave in the state of the law where law is the only superior power.
I I'm american I would feel proud with this justice system.
Now in Egypt these questions are raised and people are divided to emotional who wants to put some exceptions here and there for the previous rulers and the other side wants to implement the law literally as is.

Forums and the expertise capture and knowledge exchange
I discovered recently the value of another type of knowledge share and communication form on the internet. It is the forums where group of people who share the same specific interest and would like to exchange the thoughts, knowledge and ideas about it.
I was transferred recently from Indonesia to Kuwait and this will require a new effort in the settlement like housing, schooling, geographical locations, etc..
I found out that there are couple of forums websites where people who are sharing the same interest could exchange the knowledge and the best practices about it.
For instance, the best schools and the first hand experience about the neighborhoods.
You can simply post the question as a new discussion and whoever knows any relevant answer may share it.
This form of networking the common interest persons is very effective and applicable on each single subject in the world.
The value of the published knowledge content in this forums can be increased further by the effective search tools and the categorization to capture the shared knowledge and the expertise.

Concerns about my career
To put it in a simple terms, I don't enjoy my work now and I'm not excited about it.
I can't move progressively forward. It's still moving but not progressively forward. I partially contributed to this situation but taking some of the poor decisions and declining valuable opportunities.
I should think more and revise my career principles and bases and career ambitions and goals.
I feel sometimes that I've the potential to achieve more and bring my career to the next levels but my attitudes and my decisions and capping me with solid career ceiling.
I strongly believe that my combination of creativity, experiences and skills set can be developed to higher altitudes rather than being trapped and boxed in day to day basic tasks.

Cloud is the unlimited flexibility
Cloud is gradually invading my personal and work related interests. A lot of my data and files are stored on the cloud. This has eased my life and gave me more flexibility and mobility. For instance, Recently, I've to write a report and share it with my client and I was off-site. I used my Google account and create the activity report on Google Docs spreadsheet and the textual report on Google Docs Word. Task was achieved using the available PC whatever it includes MS Office or no where all I needed is web browser.
Regarding my personal files, all my photos now are stored on the cloud. I would claim they are stored in more secured way rather than keeping them on my hard disk. I've more than 2000 photos on the cloud and accessible wherever I go to restore the good memories of my family.
I was working on a major project also to scan my paper photos and to upload them so I can have the all photographic record in a digital form and stored on the cloud.
some of my personal files also are stored on the cloud.
My video files are also stored on the cloud.
Some of my Office documents are stored but I'm working on organizing and storing the rest of them in organized and secured way.
