Eat Grass

I am so jelous of sheep, ostriches, cows and other grass-eating animals.

Just look at the effort they need to do to get a meal: bend neck down, crunch into it, chew, digest.

No complex menus, no bad service, no bills to pay, no limitations on quantity, nothing!

I wish I could eat grass. Just imagine food all around me just sitting there in plentiful waiting for me to just tear it up, wow.

What if we come up with something like that? A piece of land with completely edible vegetation; i.e No dirt, no soil, no non-edible parts, no insects.
Creating a bed of M&M's doesn't count.

Who wants to fund this project?

Thank You

Thank you!

There's a singer that said I LOVE YOU are the 3 words that are said too much but not enough.

I can see where he is coming from and can relate although there are some friends who I know who don't agree and think they are just not said enough.

One thing we all agreed on was the fact that the words THANK YOU are said too much and also not enough.

We live in this world where we are OBLIGED to be overtly-friendly towards each other. Even when we are unsatisfied from a request we accept the response and say thanks. For example you walk into a store asking for a shoe size and they don't have it, you say Okay thanks bye. Are you really thankful for the outcome? NO! But u say it anyway because society has evolved to this level where we set a standard called being polite.

I don't know about you but I'd rather be honest and true to my words instead of being 'polite'.

When I want to share my thanks with somebody I will whole-heartedly look into their eyes and genuinely pass on the message. I will not move on to another task while muttering thanks under my breath as if I was embarrassed to say it.

I feel we lost the substance, the true meaning of the words Thank You.

Think twice next time you say it. Do you really mean it ? If so, say it and give it the attention it deserves!! We are humans we have feelings and we will appreciate it!!
When you Don't mean it then don't say it!!! It's like your lying to their face. Do not feel obliged and do not let the corporate or social 'standards' influence the truth!!!

For those who took the time to read this post, I am looking into your eyes and I am THANKING YOU for your time :)

Don't be a Bleh.

As you grow you learn more, in this episode of ONE LIFE, I'd like to share with you one of the things I learnt which is the power n importance of human psychology.

It's so crazy and simple but true nonetheless:

This whole world we live in is based on human to human interaction, it's not about how strong you are, it's not about what you look like, it's not about how much you know, it's not about how much money you have.

Its about humans dealing with other humans. So if you learn to master how to do that - you're set!

You can do whatever u want and be whoever u want to get and get whatever u want if you have this strong understanding of why humans act the way they do and are able to respond and interact accordingly.

It's all about emotional intelligence (EI)

Yes it's true there are "successful" people who are great at their job but suck big time on the emotional intelligence.

Take for example one of my vice-presidents at P&G. He has awesome analytical skills and comes up with solutions so fast everybody shuts up and agrees. But take the guy out of his job context and he's like a jellyfish. You poke it,it doesn't react. Bleh.

That's the word that best describes people with low EI. Bleh.

So the learning is: get a PHD in psychology.

No really just put some effort in your daily lives and take it into consideration , the rewards are massive.

Hope you have a rocking human-to-human day!!!!!!!!!!

Top 10 Best Compliments to Give a Guy


Im sweating as i type because i think ive set a certain standard of blogging that i need to upkeep. So here goes: For my 2nd blog ever in this life, i would like to equip everybody on what i think are the top 10 best things you can say to a guy (some apply to women, especially number 5).

No, these are not a list of things people have told me, but rather a nice mix of things i've said to others and what i've heard being said.

It may be useful, and it may not be of any use, but the objective is to share what i think is worth sharing.

Here we go with the TOP 10 BEST COMPLIMENTS TO GIVE A GUY::::::::::
  1. You inspire me. (wow that’s deep) 
  2. I look up to you. (siblings - natural-born responsibility of being the role model as a first child) 
  3. You’re fucking hot. (yes, the swear word is essential. It brings it to another level…)
  4. I hope my son grows up to be like you. (usually this comes from mothers)
  5. I wish you would marry my daughter. (usually this ONLY comes from mothers)
  6. I am proud of you. (Yes pride is one of the deadly sins but this type doesn’t cause any deaths! J )
  7. You are leaving gigantic shoes to fill. (hmm not sure if this deserves to be in the top 10 but I love it anyway)
  8. I want YOU on my team. (could be in sports, work, study groups, relationships)
  9. You’re the best I’ve ever had and will ever have. (no comment)
  10. Any general complements relating to the greatness and size of his physical features (specifically: arms, shoulders, biceps, chest, and other manly organs)
Your thoughts? Hit me back with a list for girls so i can use it!!!!!

Story of a Bum in Beirut

For my first post EVER, i thought it should be SUPER interesting so im going to share a story that i heard during my weekend stay in Beirut with my father. 


THE STORY OF ABOU EL REESHE

In Beirut, Lebanon, the year was 1979 and my mother lived next to the lighthouse (Manara). There was a crazy poor man who lived inside carton boxes on newspapers in a deserted piece of land next to their house. His name, as created by the people of Beirut, was Abu el Reeshe. He always had a huge weather sticking out of his hat (hence the name REESHE meaning FEATHER in Arabic). My grandmother used to feel sorry for him so time to time, she would ask him to wipe her car and she would give him some change. He was quite a character always blabbering to himself about incoherent irrelevant subjects in some sort of Arabic. Very nice gentle guy but totally wacko. 

In 1982 the war started in Lebanon and the Israeli army reached Beirut.

Abou el Reeshe, the poor bum without a home or barely any food to eat, turns out to be an Palestinian/Israeli Mossad Officer who was actually spying on the Syrian Army activities in Lebanon for years!!!!

Apparently he was spotted in 2005 in Hamra, so he's around... probably not pulling the poor-guy image, its too hot for that these days. :)

intense stuff!! that's why i love listening to older people talk!
