I'm enjoying what I'm seeing

For anyone who used to enjoy reading my blog, I truly apologize for the shortage of posts over here for some long time. Believe me it's something I can't change, I'm out of coverage these days.

I'm living through a life changing experience, the military service.
At the place we are, I'm enjoying seeing Egypt through the people. Recruits from all over the country living in the same place under the same conditions. This is something that's worth watching.

These days philosophy

It seems that tension can change you into a philosopher. Here's my own line of philosophy:

" Life will not give you everything, BUT it won't take away everything either "

Places with no freedom

In case I didn't mention it here before, I'll start my military service in less than a week isA.

Getting over the above mentioned fact. During the past days I was having a talk with some of my friends about the army and stuff, till I was stumpled into a hilarious comment by one of my friends.

Q: Where & when can you lose you freedom?
A: 1- Jail
2- Army
3- Marraige

Belya the student

Sorry for the delay Juka, but here I am fulfilling your tag

1- Did you use to be a good student at school ?

I guess I was one of the preferred types of students by the teachers. I was that silent smart kid sitting in the corner. I didn't smart mouth my teachers, I let other students do that. I talked only when I felt necessary just to point out a thing or two. I may have not been the smartest, but I was one of them at least.

2- What were your most loved subjects ?

I loved anything that challenged me, but what I loved most was physics. I was very good at math too, but back then I hated it.
What I hated most was studying languages, it was soooo boring for my taste.

3- When young, what did you want to become ?

While young, I've always dreamed of being a surgeon. I was fascinated by the idea of having a talent that you can use to save lives and get the people to appreciate that. Now, getting to be an oral & maxillofacial surgeon ( through the dental school ) I believe that I didn't drift much away from my dream

This is rediculous

I really need someone to explain to me what's going on. Today I was looking up the best selling Egyptian news paper ( that's what they call it ) al-ahram, only to find an advertisement that occupies the whole last page. The advertisement is about a resedential compound, they state that the price for villas start at 1,600,000 l.e.......
I had to read that twice and ask my parents about it, just to make sure that I wasn't making things up. It was true.


I need an explanation !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leadership

A couple of days ago, I was on some sort of a one-day work trip. Situations there led me some way or the other to be the leader of the group accompanying me.
By the end of the day, I was left with lots of questions going through my head :

1) Are leaders born or are they created ?
2) Is leadership a bless ? or is it a piece of hell ?
3) To be a leader do you need to be wise ? or you should have a touch of insanity ?
4) Which is easier: to take decisions ? or just follow what someone else has decided ?

Back but not active

It's been some time since I last checked my blog. It's been more than a week.
My internet connection was down besides I was having some terrible time with the Egyptian routine for more than two weeks now, and it's not over yet.

As soon as I have something to say, I will.
