Courage

 

Courage is the attitude of facing and dealing with anything recognized as dangerous, difficult, or painful, instead of withdrawing from it; quality of being fearless or brave; valor.

I’ve always called myself adventurous but now I have a better name for it which is “courageous”. I love to jump over my fears or to say it in a better way “to face them with sharp looks and walk through them”.

And now when I look back at the past several years, I feel grateful for being courageous in many situations because I’ve gone so far from my fears and come too close to my dreams.

For example, I used to fear being active on social media even though I like to share my thoughts with people and learn new things. So, I faced this fear and made my account public, shared stories on everyday basis, and followed strange people. As a result, I heard criticism from my siblings such as “you are being silly with these posts you share” or “you are being annoying with sharing many stories everyday”. But I didn't care because, deep inside, I was feeling happier and moving nearer to my personality (my essence).

Collaboration

   

One of the best things about working collaboratively with people who bring different skill sets and backgrounds to the table is learning from their experience. Collaborating with team members or even different teams should be thought of as a learning experience, and you should try to make the most of it.

   This means asking for feedback and opinions, sharing knowledge, finding out how your collaborators approach their side of the project, and gaining a better sense of how they work. Learning from colleagues is not just a benefit of collaboration, it’s the first step towards building a workplace culture centered around learning and development.

الأطفال

 

الأطفال نعمة ورحمة من الله

النظر إليهم ومراقبتهم تُذهب أحزاننا

غمرهم ومُداعبتهم تُنعش قلوبنا

كم هم ضعفاء وكم لديهم القدرة على تعديل مزاجنا

كم هم أنقياء في وسط هذا العالم الذي يعجّ بالفساد

يا رب لا تحرمنا من وجودهم حولنا!
