η..!
so why am saying all that now?!!,...coz it's applicable to some point on evth in life...!!
let me start with an example concerning the educational system coz it's where i'm stuck right now,....& the freakin' exams should have an impact on me one way or another....!!
so here we go......
if i talk about my personal experience i can say that the process we're living in has an extremely low efficiency....& the ones who r managing the system r not aware of that point coz unfortunately they believe in superlatives .
they just keep the hardest way,the longest paths,the most complicated techniques ,the oldest procedures ,.....etc. ,....& they just believe that the hardest,the longest,the most complicated,the oldest ...etc will keep them the BEST....which is not true.....coz all that may dissipate human power -which is the most valuable asset for the person-without getting a considerable "useful" output ....& this is a disaster...!
i know some ppl say that whatever u go through in ur life is useful to a point & even if u dnt learn or get a tangible thing ,..u'll learn persistence ,patience,hard work...bla bla bla......,for me it's as if u turn a device on or whatever continuously just to find out its capacity & know how much it lasts ,..but actually u r just dissipating power in vain...coz it has a another main function u r neglecting...that's exactly how it works with us here or worse !!
so let me ask,...if there's a possibility to learn more (quality not quantity),use the same power in more useful tunings & minimize the dissipation ,..why not?....& who said that we reached the optimum performance with the current system?!,....forget about being the best or the most reputable faculty or university & all those stuff we hear......coz it's not true anymore or let me say it's not sth absolute .....& this sense of superiority makes things worse year after year.....& consequently the overall efficiency is dramatically declining with respect 2 others who may not care about those "superlatives" that much coz they care more about the usefulness of the output ....!!!
mayb it's just an example & mayb some ppl dont agree with me & c that i'm exaggerating ,...but that's how i c things not only in the higher education -i'm involved in-but in many many other things around us ,..the efficiency is usually very low & still most of the ppl look to the absolute output value & feel good about the superlatives which is pointless...coz again & on a larger scale for example :
what's the use of being one of the OLDEST civilizations if we r not keeping the keys of success & using our resources efficiently ? what's the point of having one of the LONGEST rivers if we r wasting & ruining it? what's the use of having the LARGEST plantable lands in the area if we r not using them? or what's the point of having one of the HIGHEST percentages of youth in a country if we r ruining them?!...what's the point of all those ***..EST if they r just dissipated like that ?!
so again,..after all it's not about how much output we get ,...it's about the USEFUL part or the efficiency which should be kept in consideration in each & every process in life....!!

Vitriol...!!!
Paulo Coelho
----------------------------------
'You say they create their own reality,' said Veronika, 'but what is reality?'
'It's what the majority deems it to be. It's not necessarily the best or the most logical, but it's the one that has become adapted to the desires of society as a whole. You see this thing i've got round my neck?'
'You mean your tie?'
'Exactly. Your answer is the logical, coherent answer an absolutely normal person would give: it's a tie! A madman, however, would say that what I have round my neck is a ridiculous, useless bit of coloured cloth tied in a very complicated way, and which makes it harder to get air into your lungs and difficult to turn your neck. I have to be careful when I'm anywhere near a fan, or I could be strangled by this bit of cloth.
If a mad person were to ask me what this tie is for, I would have to say, absolutely nothing. It's not even purely decorative, since nowadays it's become a symbol of slavery, power, aloofness. The only really useful function a tie serves is the sense of relief when you get home and take it off; you feel as if you've freed yourself from something, though quite what you don't know.
'But does that sense of relief justify the existence of ties? No. Nevertheless, if I were to ask a madman and a normal person what this is, the sane person would say: a tie. It doesn't matter who's correct, what matters is who's right.'
Certain people, in their eagerness to construct a world which no external threat can penetrate, build exaggeratedly high defenses against the outside world, against new people, new places, different experiences, and leave their inner world stripped bare. It is there that Bitterness begins its irrevocable work.
The will was the main target of Bitterness (or Vitriol, as Dr. Igor preferred to call it). The people attacked by this malaise began to lose all desire, and within a few years, they became unable to leave their world, where they had spent enormous reserves of energy constructing high walls in order to make reality what they wanted it to be.
In order to avoid external attack, they had also deliberately limited internal growth, they continued going to work, watching television, having children, complaining about the traffic, but these things happened automatically, unaccompanied by any particular emotion, because, after all, everything was under control.
The great problem with poisoning by Bitterness was that the passions -- hatred, love, despair, enthusiasm, curiosity -- also ceased to manifest themselves. After a while, the embittered person felt no desire at all. They lacked the will either to live or to die, that was the problem.
That is why embittered people find heroes and madmen a perennial source of fascination, for they have no fear of life or death. Both heroes and madmen are indifferent to danger and will forge ahead regardless of what other people say. The madman committed suicide, the hero offered himself up to martyrdom in the name of a cause, but both would die, and the embittered would spend many nights and days remarking on the absurdity and the glory of both. It was the only moment when the embittered person had the energy to clamber up his defensive walls and peer over at the world outside, but then his hands and feet would grow tired and he would return to daily life.

It's Gonna Be.......!
how do most of the ppl feel on seeing kids ?... hope,cheerfulness,innocence...etc.
but dunno why do i just feel sorrow & sympathy towards them-lately- ,....sometimes i just look at kids & imagine what's waiting for them in this world,..the hard shocks they'll get ,...the awful facts they'll discover,...the daily struggles they'll get through...the country failure on all levels they'll c...!!
i know it's life & that's how things work,...& to grow up ppl should go through all that ,..experience ups & downs,..know the facts & struggle each & every moment. BUT i'm not talking about the normal issues ,..it's not my concern,....i just mean the awful circumstances in Egypt.... & that's y i do feel sympathy towards the Egyptian kids in specific.
i look to the rate of decline in evth here & wonder: what if the rate remains the same for the coming year? ...& i just find myself saying OMG ,...it's gonna be a catastrophe....!!!
how on earth will those kids learn in such an educational system ?!! ...how will they withstand the world challenges in a country that goes backward?...will they find medical care?....will they know the meaning of the word "justice" ? will they have an idea about "ethics"?...will they join the expected extra millions of poor ppl by 2020 ?!....will they have to buy their dignity?...will they?....will they?
mayb when we were kids evth wasn't perfect,... & i know we r living in similar circumstances now,....& we r already suffering from most of that ,....but we've got the shock & got into reality ,...so i just sympathize with those kids who r gonna leave their world to the real world sooner or later.....!!
i know i'll hear sb saying: "that's our role to fix things & make those kids suffer less...bla bla bla".....theoretically it's true,..but practically it's not that easy coz it's not only about us ,...it's about a country which needs a real reform ,...& real revolution in evth ,it's a complicated issue ....& if it was just that easy ,..y r we still here? & y r we going worse?!.....
it may seem pessimism ,...but as i always say it's the reality that ppl don't want to c & they may hate my words coz they live in this denial state ,...but i always c the future as a result of the past & the present ,...so it's somehow predictable unless sth extraordinary happens ,.....so according to what's happening 2day ,..the near future is gonna be .........(fill in spaces)
so ,..yeah it's the only option to try to fix things & make'm better,..it's our duty & mission on earth ,... but still i can't help that feeling of sorrow when i look to evth going around ...!!
so all we can do is work & hope for the better in a way or another...& we'll c!

كل سنة ومصر تعيش معك أغلي وأعز أيامها.. سنوات مرت وكأنها حلم جميل داعبنا، وجعلنا نبتسم لكل أيامنا.
في عيد ميلادك ياريس ندعو الله لك بالعمر المديد، لكي تحقق لنا المزيد والمزيد.. فنحن سيدي الرئيس قدرك، وانت قدرنا. لمن غيرك نشكو؟! من مين غيرك نطلب!! لمن غيرك نروي احلامنا وآمالنا في مستقبل نملك فيه القدرة علي ان نحقق طموحاتنا، ونترك لاولادنا وأحفادنا وطنا عزيزا وقادرا علي ان يحقق لنا كل ما نتمناه.
بصراحة.. إحنا بنحبك لأنك إنسان أصيل.. بتعرف تحافظ علي كرامة وكبرياء بلدك وشعبك.. بتعرف تقرأ المستقبل صح ياريس.. وفي كل حاجة.. بره وجوه.
بنحبك.. لأنك مابتعملش حاجة إلا بعد ماتحسبها صح.. ويكون قرارك في الصميم.. بنحبك لان تاريخك كله نظيف.
تاريخ بطل.. كان يكفيه من كل الدنيا وسام الانتصار في حرب أكتوبر. الوسام الذي وضعه شعب مصر كله علي صدرك داخل مجلس الشعب تقديرا لبطولاتك ودورك الذي فتح أبواب أعظم انتصاراتنا.
دايما ياريس، القرار الغلط في أي مجال يكون له تأثيرات سلبية، بتختلف من مكان لمكان.. ولكن في الطيران القرار الغلط يعني الموت.. من هنا دايما بيكون فيه تقدير وحسابات كاملة قبل أي قرار.
طول ما إحنا معاك ياريس حسينا بالحكاية دي.. مفيش انفعال ولاغضب.. أي حاجة دايما تسبقها دراسة كاملة.. كتير قوي ياريس مواقف مرت علينا وعلي بلدنا.. تحديات كتيرة لا لها أول ولا لها آخر.. لكنك ياريس عدتها كلها بسلام.. بحنكة ومهارة وتفكير.. كانت دايما ياريس مصر معاك.. في قلبك وعقلك والعدو والحبيب دايما بيحسب لبلدنا معاك ألف حساب.
بنحبك ياريس.. لأن سمعة مصر معاك أصبحت زي البرلنت.. وبيحسدونا عليك.. لأنك مننا.. دايما ياريس كنت معانا.
ساعات كتيرة كنا بنكلم نفسنا.. بنقول ياتري الريس حاسس بينا.. ياتري الريس حاسس بمشاكلنا وهمومنا.. وفي كل مرة ياريس نكتشف الحقيقة إنك معانا.. أنت جزء مننا وإحنا جزء منك.. بتتكلم زينا.. وحاسس بالظروف الصعبة اللي إحنا عشناها.
وبصراحة ياريس.. إحنا نسينا أيام زمان.. إحنا ادلعنا ياريس في عهدك.. ونسينا كل حاجة وحشة.. نسينا زمن الاشتراكية اللي ضحكوا بيها علينا لاننا اكتشفنا إننا بنعيش في وهم جميل صحينا منه يوم 5 يونيه.
نسينا زمن تليفون العمدة وبقينا دلوقتي محتارين.. نركب 012 ولا 010 ولا 011 ولا أرضي.
نسينا القطارات ماركة اللي يحب النبي يزق!! نسينا زمن كل حاجة بالبطاقة من قطن العرايس لحد قماش التيل والبفتة والدبلان.. نسينا زمن المجاري اللي طافحة وطلمبات الميه البحاري ووضع النواية جوه الزير.. نسينا ياريس زمن زوار الفجر وزوار الصبح والظهر والعشا.. نسينا اللهو الخفي ونسينا نشوف النجوم في عز الظهر.
دلوقتي كله بيتكلم.. مفيش حد خايف.. شلت الخوف من قلوبنا يا ريس ودي نعمة إحنا مكناش حاسين بيها.. دلوقتي ممكن أي واحد ينتقد رئيس الجمهورية والحكومة وكل حاجة!! ساعات بنزودها حبتين!! لكن جوانا شعور إننا مش خايفين.. عارفين إن فيه كبير في البلد.. بيحبنا وبنحبه.. عايش في قلوبنا وقريب دايما مننا.
بنحبك ياريس لأنك مننا.. انت الرئيس الذي لا يتحدث بلغتين.. اللي بتقوله في الغرف المغلقة هو اللي بتقوله في العلن.. ودايما آراءك وأفكارك سباقة والعالم كله يا ريس آد أيه بيحترمك ويقدرك.. طولة بالك وسعة صدرك ياريس وحبك لينا.. خلانا نطمع أكتر واكتر ياريس.
في عيد ميلادك الناس.. اهلك... وشعبك... كل اللي بيحبوك المفروض يقدموا لك ورود الدنيا كلها.. لكنك ياريس كنت سباق بالخير.. طول عمرك سباق بالخير.. العلاوة ياريس كانت مفاجأة.. كانت عبور بالموظفين الغلابة من الدوامة اللي عايشينها ليل نهار.. الناس كلها دعت لك ياريس بالصحة والسعادة.. حسوا ساعتها انك جزء منهم وانت بتطالب الحكومة إنها تدبر الموارد عشان العلاوة لأن الناس مش ناقصه.!!
الناس ياريس كلها بتقولك في عيد ميلادك كتر خيرك.. وربنا يديك الصحة.. والسنة الجاية برضه هنقولك عايزين علاوة ياريس.. 'علاوة ريس'.. له في قلب كل مصري حب ما يتقدرش بأموال الدنيا كلها.
كل سنة ومصر معاك بخير ياريس ونفضل دايما نقولك عايزين وعايزين.. والسنة الجاية مش مهم العلاوة تبقي 30 % خليها 25 % بس!! إحنا مش طماعين!!
كل سنة وأنت بكل خير ياريس.
I was trying to highlight the weird parts,...then i remembered that i made this post in the 1st place coz the whole thing is weird....& consequently i'm not gonna comment now!!
