Re: Thoughts for the Day... (Re: ShiningStar)

Hello Al-Saidg…
Thank you for delightful presence in my humble post…. Yeah it’s amazing what some of the people out there do to come up with these statistics…. 3 weeks in front of traffic lights is defiantly a lot…. But at least we can say.. “we know exactly where 3 weeks of our life went….”
By the way.. I also found out that on average One-third of our life’s is spent sleeping!!! What a waist….. But on the other hand it has been proven that a person can die much sooner from lack of sleep than starving….
I wonder how much time do we actually spend being with the people/places we love..!!
Stay well…
ps... Your CV must be interesting... :o)

Hi Shining star; It's great that you have shown up. قديما قيل عي الصمت احسن من عي المنطق كما قيل اذا كان الكلام من فضة فالسكوت من ذهب These seem to support your observation concerning "silence" and "speech" But still there are occasions whereby speech is more appropriate than silence. For example, no body counts on silence to evade a seriuos accusation before a court of law. In such situations people reinforce speech-related virtues by taking refuge into attorneys to get their views across. All in all, your observation tend to generalise that there are more virtues in silence than in speech, which is not always relevant. Will surely come back with more elaboration stay well

Salamat Abdalla….
I also spend a lot of time here… it’s amazing how we get attached to a virtual place this much…. This brings to mind something that read, I will write it in Arabic cuz it will make more sense…
نيوتن نفسه... و هو صاحب النظريه يقول.. في خطاب الي صديقه بنتلي... أنه لأمر غير مفهوم ان نجد مادة لا حياة فيها ولا احساس تؤثر علي مادة اخري و تجذبها مع انه لا توجد بينهما أية علاقه...
و انا كذلك اتسأل ... كيف استطاعت سودانيز اونلاين ان تجذبنا الي هذا الحد... و الي متي سنظل هنا...
But on the other hand I also think it’s the best thing that happened to me in the last 10 years… It have been my home a way from home… Thanks to Bakri and all others who made worth while.
Last but not least….I really appreciate your nice comment and your presence, and hope to see you; and your participation more often.
دمتم...

Quote: …do you think that one should settle for less, due to fear of not being able to get what one wants in the future….. ?? |
Hala SA and your honorable guets; Its always nice reading your rich contributions. We agree that we should do our best to have our wishes come true. but we must also consider the possibility of failure and success. After they had got beaten in the last world cup tornament, Saudis blamed the media for giving them false view of their real power!!! They assumed that teams in Germany are the same as the ones they defeated in Asia!!! What I mean to say is: is it enough just to have a big wish? Do you take it that we shouldnt count on "a bird in hand is worth ten in the bush?" It does seem to work ok for many people including myself. I'm afraid, the whole sudanese life seems to relate to this proverb. As I see it, it's one way to compromise paradoxes; viz. should people access what's available and ask for more or take refuge into 'all or none"? It's once more nice debating with your challenging views.

Re: Thoughts for the Day... (Re: ShiningStar)

Salaaaaaam Al-Sadig….
It’s always a delight to see your comments…
Let me see if I can get my thoughts across clearly…. What I was trying to say is that people should NEVER settle for LESS than they think they deserve… They should always strive… cuz once we settle for less, that mean we will stop reaching for what we think we are worth….
Quote: is: is it enough just to have a big wish? |
Every one has big wishes…. Even the people who have that ONE bird in their hand…
For example, today on my way to work.. I wished that I didn’t have to travel 45 min to get to work, I also wished that I had someone to drive me, So I can just set in the back seat and relax, listening to Sadeeg Al-Kahlawi… I also wished that birds wouldn’t fly soo low, so that they won’t get killed by cars like mine… I wished that people could stop being mean and ignorant …. I wished if I lived in a small house in al-fai7a with chickens running in the yard. And much more…
There are sooo many wishes… and wishes are often not practical nor doable in the near future…. A wish is like when you ask someone; what do you WANT? He/she could name many many things; the list would be endless…. But what I am talking about is when you ask someone what do you NEED? Then a person will be very precise and will list things he/she really need, things that will make their life better, easier, and valuable.. These are the things a person should not compromise on; or settle for less on them. See what I mean?
Quote: I'm afraid; the whole Sudanese life seems to relate to this proverb |
You are right on this regard…. Many Sudanese people are very compromising and never want to take any risk…. And as you know my friend, like in any investment a person who choose to take a Zero risk investment, will get very minimal in-return…. Any thing higher than a Zero will give you more back…. But on the other hand you might lose a little… but this is what life is about, give and take…. And personally I’d rather lose a lill and get what I need at the end, than getting minimal, and spend my life wishing I did other wise…
Contentment is bless….
Quote: Do you take it that we shouldn’t count on "a bird in hand is worth ten in the bush?" It does seem to work ok for many people including myself. |
I surely think we shouldn’t let that ONE bird fly, however one should never stop there... One should ONLY stop if that ONE bird is what they think they deserve and need…
If I May ask; are you content?
I am out for now; duty calls… but will be back, and look forward for your input…
S.A.

Shining Star,
I just happended to be attracted to wonderful selections of quotes and facts, it is amazing and reflect how talented you are. Are you an artist or something?
I Personnally take quotes as unique to their authors' personal experience, it will be really ironic if the apply to any body else, however, their eloquency is shocking. Just a thought to share.
Thanks and please continue your outstanding performance in this board.
Osman Ageeb.
