How to keep your sanity.

Got this as a broadcast and fe9alt the7ik!! I personally like 4 & 6 LOL




"To Maintain A Healthy Level Of Insanity

1. At Lunch Time, Sit In Your Parked Car With Sunglasses on and point a Hair Dryer At Passing Cars. See If They Slow Down.

2. On all your cheque stubs, write ' For Marijuana'

3. Skip down the street Rather Than Walk and see how many looks you get.

4. Order a Diet Water whenever you go out to eat,with a serious face.

5. Sing Along At The Opera.

6. When The Money Comes Out The ATM, Scream 'I Won! I Won!'

7. When Leaving the Zoo, Start Running towards the Car Park, Yelling 'Run For Your Lives! They're Loose!'

8. Tell Your Children Over Dinner, 'Due To The Economy, We are Going To Have To Let One Of You Go.'

And The Final Way To Keep A Healthy Level Of Insanity

9. PICK UP A BOX OF CONDOMS AT THE PHARMACY, GO TO THE COUNTER AND ASK WHERE THE FITTING ROOM IS.

احتفالية يوم الدستور Yom Al Destor

Sout Al-Kuwait is a civic lobby group protecting personal and social freedoms through the activation and preservation of the rights stipulated in the Kuwaiti constitution. The Group meets its target through organized media campaigns, public relations and direct communication with the Parliament member and other State decision makers. Since its establishment, the Group published several booklets and brochures providing simplified review of constitutional rights, their impact and importance, and their conflict with some of the current legislations – (available on www.soutalkuwait.com). Sout Al-Kuwait also participated in several exhibitions, rallies, and carnivals in an attempt to educate the youth about the Constitution articles and relate them to our daily lives. We lead several educational activities in schools, colleges and universities introducing students to concepts like citizenship, human rights, constitutional rights and encouraging their involvement in volunteer civic and social work.

One of our most important events is the celebration of the anniversary of the Constitution of Kuwait which was signed off by Sheikh Abdullah Al-Salem in November 11, 1962. This year we plan a grand carnival in front of the Kuwait Parliament (Sahat Al Irada). This event will be a collaborative effort by other NGOs and some civic groups. It is a family event filled with activities suitable to all ages and interests. There will be a special area for children and another for art and poetry national music band lead by Belal Al-Shami and many other outdoor activities. Participants will be taken through the amazing journey of the Constitution in a fun and friendly environment.

We hope that you and your family will join us celebrating the Constitution anniversary this year on Wednesday, November 11 in front of the Parliament from 5:30 to 10 pm.

Going to this movie tomorrow night ! It has really attracted some serious attention here ! the first two weeks are fully booked before the movie even premiered ! but we booked our tickets online for the very first show in Dublin ! I personally don't like MJ that much and not really interested in the movie but my friends wants to see it so bad so I decided to go with him !

it starts at 8:40 , and our 4 exams finish at 7:20. Going to be a long day tomorrow ! 4 tests all together, we even get to choose which we want to start with ! I think i'll stare at my laptop thinking which I should start with first =P But we'll do it as a group and we disturbuted the work among us so hope it wouldnt be too bad ! I'll make sure I'll have another laptop near me with google and wikipedia ready !


Also the furniture I ordered arrived so I need to assemble it ! too lazy to do that though, will probably do it sometime over the weekend. And whats with all the fuss about pinkberry? Unfourtently shakly ma la7agt 3aleeh =P, is it that good?

Positiveness

This post is inspired by and dedicated to wa7d 3aref nafsa =P so ra7 atfalsaf shway awal b3dain I'll quote some positivity tips.

"Postive Attitude : a positive mental attitude is the belief that one can increase achievment through optimistic thought processes. "

- By elly this post is dedicated to him !

Sometimes keeping up a postive attitude is the only way to get through the day and convert all the worrying and negative energy into something positive and end up with a very productive day.

So how can we adopt this attitude? hatha elly lgeeta eb this article o fakart that I share it with you !

"1. Adopt a positive mental attitude. A positive mental attitude gives you the ability to absorb the bumps on the roads of life. When you are pursuing bigger and more demanding goals that are going to take you out of your comfort zone, the bumps get bigger and more frightening.

If you don’t have a positive mental attitude you will find negative thoughts and doubts creeping into your mind. These insidious creatures can easily take over and stop you dead in your tracks – you don’t want that do you!

2. Be crystal clear about where you are going. It is much easier to keep moving if you have a destination in mind. You will find it much easier to cope with the multitude of decisions that you face and just having your destination in sight will spur you on to that extra effort when you need it.

If you are just wandering aimlessly, you quickly become frustrated and confused. Humans don’t like uncertainty and don’t cope well with it so you’ll find yourself increasingly confused and uncomfortable until you decide that you’ve had enough.

3. Find your passion. You should be passionate about your objective. It should excite you and fill you full of positive emotions. When you encounter obstacles or when it seems a long way off, you should think about your objective and re-energize yourself with your positive emotions. Then you’ll be ready to tackle the next hill you have to climb with enthusiasm and energy.

Without passion you will find it hard to maintain your enthusiasm over the long haul and significant changes in your life will take far longer than they should.

4. Believe in yourself and what you are doing. Have you every tried selling something you didn’t believe in. I’ve done it – once. Giving my pitch felt like chewing a mouthful of sawdust – and I didn’t make a single sale.

When you believe in yourself and what you are doing it will radiate through every pore in your body, enthuse and motivate people around you to help you on your journey. You’ll also find that all those nagging doubts have a hard time getting heard…

5. Develop high self esteem. People with high self esteem believe that they deserve the best in life and they believe that they have the ability to get it! Imagine how much easier it’s going to be to make the journey to your desires if you have beliefs like these!

A person of low self esteem considers themselves to be stupid, incompetent and worthless. That’s going to make it real hard to persist in the face of obstacles. Giving up and accepting your lot in life is going to look very attractive."
