I always read Push as Pull , and Pull as Push , both in Arabic and in English. Whenever I see 'Push' I pull , and whenever I see 'Pull' I push..
Madry lesh.. it's like whenever I read 'Push' my mind translate it into 'Pull' and sends a msg to my arm to pull @@; (bdeena teflsef bel science 3ad =P )
Another thing , and this one is dangerous ! , is that I mix up between those two signs too :
o hathy:
ya3ny when the green arrow traffic light pops up for cars to move ana 3baly its the green 'you cal walk' sign o adar3em ! Cham warra I was almost run over by a bus because of this... o cham maraa agool shfehom hatheela yamshoon al eshra 7ag al syayeer ! wella I miss-saw the traffic lights again..
Iam I retarded for mixing up between those things?! I hope i'm not !
So do you ,yourself , mix up with anything like thist too? please share =P

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.
- By elly this post is dedicated to him !
"Postive Attitude : a positive mental attitude is the belief that one can increase achievment through optimistic thought processes. "
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 !
p.s etha 3ajabkom al post thank 'him' dont thank me =P borrowed al idea mena !"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."
And don't miss this post etha taboon more positivity =P
o a5eeran thought i'd share this song which reminds me of positivity o the very dear person elly inspired me to write this =D
p.s.s ana 7ady fathy blogging while I should be looking for an apartment..
