يقين طفل
كان فى ولد صغير تقريبا كان أسمه عمر, الولد ده كان فى أبتدائى وكان ديما بيصلى الصبح مع والده فى المسجد حاااااااااااااااااضر (سمعين يا شباب , فى المسجد, ماكنشى بيقول الدنيا برد ولا كان بيقول عندى كليه بدرى ولا هتأخر عن الشغل لو صحيت ولا الكلام ده وكل واحد عارف نفسه بقى ;) )
المهم كان فى يوم من الأيام الولد الصغير ده عمل حاجه غلط فى الفصل (بصراحه مش فاكر هى أيه, بس كانت حاجه بسيطه يعنى) المهم المدرس بتاعه خارجه مع مجموعه من زمايله عشان يعقبه وكان عايز يضربوه
المدرس : أفتح أيدك
الولد: لأ مش هينفع تضربنى
المدرس: ليه
الولد : أصلى أنا صليت الصبح فى جماعه وأنا سمعت أن الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم قال من صلى الصبح فى جماعه فهو فى ذمة الله تعالى
تقدر بقى تضربنى
المدرس: لأ ماقدرشى :)
لما سمعت القصة أتأثرت جدا , طبعا بصرف النظر الولد الصغير ده كان غلطان فى أيه (أكيد حاجه صغيرة يعنى) بس ماشاء الله الولد عنده يقين مش عند ناس كتيييييييييييير
نص الحديث الشريف مع أسناده
من صلى الصبح في جماعة فهو في ذمة الله تعالى

90/10 principle
Discover the 90/10 Principle. It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations). What is this principle?
10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. What does this mean?
We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.
How? By your reaction. You cannot control a red light. However, you can control your reaction. Do not let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.
Let us use an example: You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened. What happens next will be determined by how you react. You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over.
She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse must leave immediately for work.
You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit zone. After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started te rrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home, When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.
Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad day?
A. Did the coffee cause it?
B. Did your daughter cause it?
C. Did the policeman cause it?
D. Did you cause it?
The answer is “D”.
You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day. Here is what could have and should have happened.
Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, “Its ok honey, you just need to be more careful next time”. Grabbing a towel, you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minute s early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.
Notice the difference?
Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different.
Why? Because of how you REACTED.
You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your reaction.
Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle.
If someone says something negative about you, do not be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You do not have to let the negative comment affect you! React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.
How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic?
* Do you lose your temper?
* Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall Off)
* Do you curse?
* Does your blood pressure skyrocket?
* Do yo u try to bump them?
WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your drive. Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.
You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job.
The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger.
Why are stressed out? It will just make things worse. Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it.
The 90-10 principle is incredible. Very few know and apply this principle.
The result? Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache.
We all must understand and apply the 9 0/10 principle.
It CAN change your life!

I have learnt a lot from you!!!
"Do you know Ahmed, although Nyazy is younger than me with 4 years and although I didn't work with him much but I have learnt a lot of things from him", you don't imagine how proud I were when I have heard these words, I were very very glad that someone has learnt something from me.
الحمد لله رب العالمين , حمدا كثيرا مبارك فيه
Reset Your Mind
Is it strange?!
yeah I'm talking seriously, I believe every person has a brain (processor) and memory (RAM) capcity that highly affected by different situations, so he will need to reset his mind to be able to refresh his mind, resort thoughts and take the right decision,
for me I claim I have a not bad capacity in brain and memory (El 7amed llellah) but when I face a lot of situations with extra details I hardly need to reset my mind, I'm usually doing that by sleeping!!!
yes, sleeeeping, after a short sleeping I feel I have reset my mind, I can re-organize my thoughts and many new ideas come to me.
to be honest with you, I haven't any scentific proof for that, but really I believe sleeping is considered my personal reset button.
El 7amed llelllah that we have this Ne3ma :)
Last day in QuickTel
But in other hand I can't deny that I have learnt a lot of things inside QuickTel, people there are very nice, kind and clevers; el 7amed llellah I have left them without making conflicts with any of them, of course sometimes I were missing control of my self and being nervous in work but generally I have a very good relationship and friendship with people there :)
Because of All Engineers in quickTel were older than me, most of them were looking at me as a young man with a little experience, but by the time I have gained their trust, all my team leaders, project managers and my colleagues were believing I were very effective and a key person in my work;
El 7amed llellah for all of things, I believe that without Allah support I weren't make anything in my life, so el 7amed llellah 7amdan kathyeeern mobarken fi8,
and I pray Allah for supporting me too in my new work

Fear of change
For me, I have met a lot of people have this feeling, and I were always supporting them by advices, opinions, ...etc to overcome that bad feeling, and el 7amed llellah they overcome it successfully, but unfortauntely in sometimes I'm failing to do that because lack of communication channels, so I have nothing to do with them, unless they take a step and ask me for advice, opinion, ...etc so I can have a communication channel with them; asking why do you worry?! then we can try to resolve conflicts, and wash out all negative feelings.
May Allah guid us to the right direction

Different interests
all the day he is playing with mobiles, ringtones b2a, games, backgrounds and screen savers ta7t 2sm Symbian programming ;)
Although OzO my friend 6 years ago, but our interests are totally different, you can see that by checking his blog, it’s full of political and history posts while I’m interesting in human development and social posts;
you can imagine when we decided to visit book fair, he has bought books for Hitler(Kefa7y), Mohammed Hassanien Hayekel and other historical book, while I have bought books for Salah El Rashed, Tarek Swedan, Ibrahim El faky and other human development books (body language, communication skills…etc)
Although we have different interests, but we have minimum conflicts (el 7amed llellah J ); he has a baby mind, so sometimes he insist on strange things :D, but to be honest with you, I were the problem maker in most of situations ;)

I'm feeling sad :(
In interviews, I have met clever people, and in the same time I have met NOT clever people, but this is not the issue, while interview I have met someone FCIans graduate (2003) cairo university,
I were surprised, as we supposed fresh graduate and that man has 4 years experience :O
I have started the interview with him by simple questions, technical and non-technical and after a short time I realized why he wanna to get this job
He joined Army Service in 2004 as an officer for 3 years and he has just finished the service in the begining of 2007;
he nearly has no professional experience, plus army pushed him to lose 90% from his technical skills, after short minutes, I were totally sad, I were frustrated not because he joined army, but because they have taken him and didn't make anything useful with his knowledge, JUST they push him to forget everything he has learnt in FCI :((
of course ma7desh 3arf el 7`eeer feeeen, but I were very disappointed, and I were totally eager to let him pass the interview but unfortunately he is unqualified :((
Finally, I have give him some advices about different tracks he can take, and needed skills for each track and asked him whether he wanna to ask about anything, then he left!
I'll have extra interviews in next tuesday and thrusday isAllah, I hope to not face the same situation once again
May Allah help us (ALL) to find the right direction!!!

من نفس عن مؤمن كربة من كرب الدنيا ، نفس الله عنه كربة من كرب يوم القيامة . ومن يسر على معسر ، يسر الله عليه في الدنيا والآخرة . ومن ستر مسلما ، ستره الله في الدنيا والآخرة . والله في عون العبد ما كان العبد في عون أخيه . ومن سلك طريقا يلتمس فيه علما ، سهل الله له به طريقا إلى الجنة . وما اجتمع قوم في بيت من بيوت الله ، يتلون كتاب الله ، ويتدارسونه بينهم ، إلا نزلت عليهم السكينة ، وغشيتهم الرحمة وحفتهم الملائكة ، وذكرهم الله فيمن عنده . ومن بطأ به عمله ، لم يسرع به نسبه . غير أن حديث أبي أسامة ليس فيه ذكر التيسير على المعسر

Love Proposal by a Software Engineer
Read and Enjoy :)
Like a variable in an infinite loop
Be in my heart always and never stop
My heart is like a port, unread,
and the love I have has only one thread
You are in my heart's RAM and not in the cache
So if you won't respond, my heart will crash.
Like an application that is stand alone,
I'm a programmer who earns a lot on my own
And my request is clear, without any encryption
And hope it is not void, that you return.
if e-mails can be sent for free
Why on earth can't you and me
For the rest of our life time together be.

فلنُحسِن الظن بالله
بين الماء والزيت
مفتى الديار المصرية ... بعد أذنك لحظه
- بينا أنا أمشي مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في ناحية المدينة وامرأة على حمار يطوف بها أسود في يوم طش إذ أتت يد الحمار على وهدة فزلق فصرعت المرأة فصرف النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وجهه كراهية أن يرى منها عورة فقلت : يا رسول الله ! إنها متسرولة ، فقال رحم الله المتسرولات ، وقال : البسوا السراويلات وحصنوها نسائكم عند خروجهن

القاهرة- أكد الدكتور علي جمعة مفتي مصر أنه لا يصح للمرأة ارتداء النقاب في الدول الأجنبية المسافرة اليها، لان ذلك يعد على عكس عادة البلد، وقد يسبب مشاكل سياسية بين الدولتين وهذا لا يصح.
وقال في لقاء اوردت وكالة الانباء الاسلامية جانبا منه، وهو يرد على سؤال حول الاختلاط بين الشباب: هناك فرق بين الاختلاط والخلوة، موضحا ان وجود رجال ونساء المسلمين في مكان واحد يحدث دائما في الصلاة والحج، أما الخلوة فلها شروط عند العلماء وهي وجود رجل وامرأة منفردين في مكان يستأذن الدخول اليه، وبذلك لا وجود للخلوة بين المرأة وسائق التاكسي أو في المصعد وغيرها من المواضع التي لا يستأذن للدخول اليها.
وعن حكم الدين في لبس المرأة للبنطلون اكد ان الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم احل لبس المرأة للبنطلون مشيرا الى رواية تقول ان امرأة كانت تركب دابة فسقطت من عليها، فغض رسول الله صلى عليه وسلم بصره فقال له الصحابة يا رسول الله أنها متسرولة فقال رسول الله: رحم الله المتسرولات. لكن يجب في زي المرأة أن يكون محتشما لا يكشف ولا يشف واذا توافرت هذه الشروط يكون زيا شرعيا.
وردا على سؤال عن الصلاة في المساجد التي بها أضرحة قال: ان الصلاة في المساجد التي بها أضرحة تضم أهل البيت والأولياء والصالحين مشروعة لأن الصلاة لله تعالى وليست لصاحب القبر أو الضريح، ولا يمكن أبدا القول ببطلان صلاة المسلمين وحرمتها في المسجد النبوي الشريف، لأنه يضم قبر النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم، وقب أبي بكر، وقبر عمر، رضي الله عنهما، وأما حديث عائشة رضى الله عنها في الصحيحين أن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم قال: لعن الله اليهود والنصارى اتخذوا قبور أنبيائهم مساجد. فهذا معناه السجود لها على وجه تعظيمها وعبادتها كما يسجد المشركون للأصنام.
وحول سفر المرأة بدون محرم أشار الى أن هناك اختلافا في تفسير حديث "لا تسافر امرأة تؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فوق ثلاث الا ومعها محرم". فبعض العلماء يرون أنه حديث مطلق فحينما تسافر امرأة يجب أن يكون معها محرم، وهناك من يقول انه ارتبط بموقف خلال عهد الرسول لتحقيق أمن الدولة الاسلامية على نسائها من تعرضهن للخطف على أيدي المشركين وبناء على ذلك فاذا أمنت المرأة على نفسها، فيجوز لها تسافر من دون محرم، أما اذا كانت هناك حالة حرب أو قطع طريق وغيرها من الأمور فلا يجوز لها السفر بمفردها وترجع للحكم الأصلي.

Comfort zone
1. Fetch hot water (90 C)
2. Fetch small frog
3. put small frog into water
Result: frog jumped from water
They repeated the experiment with other parameters
1. Fetch hot water (60 C)
2. Fetch small frog
3. put small frog into water
Result: frog jumped from the water
1. Fetch water with a normal temperature
2. Fetch small frog
3. put small frog into water
Result: frog enojyed swimming in water
They start heating the water step by step;
when water temperature become 20 C, frog still swimming in water
when water temperature become 60 C , frog still swimming in water
when water temperature become 90 C , sadly frog had been dead L
What happened?! Why frog accept to swim in hot water (60 C) although it had jumped when they put it in the same water temperature before!!!
Well, let us clarify this point, when scientists put the frog in hot water, it didn’t accept to live in this bad environment, and it decided to jump immediately.
In other hand when they put it in water with a normal temperature, it has accepted this environment,
then when scientists tried to raise water temperature step by step, it feel with change, but it hate to change the environment and by the time unfortunately it had been dead
that’s what called comfort zone
I hope you have got the message!!!
Feeling tired
I should take care while I’m working with person X and I should take care while I’m talking with person Y and I should take care too while I’m dealing with person Z in a time X, Y nor Z don’t care about all of that!!!
long time ago I have used to play the same role, and el 7amed llellah I can do it perfectly, BUT I’m a human and I have a right to feel tired,
In the same time, if I look around myself, I can’t find the persons who should stand beside me in that time,
I don’t need a help, I don’t need for task delegation even I don’t need them to share the pain;
I need to feel I’m not standing alone, I need to feel there are some bodies worry about me, I need to feel they are there!!!

فرح أسلامى ولا جاهلى
My Friend: Al salamu 3alikom
Me: wa alikom el salam wa r7mat Allah wa brkato8
Me: Hussieny, 3amel e8, e8 27`bark wa 27`bar el sho3`l ...etc
My Friend: el 7amed llellah I'm fine, hope u are fine too
My Friend: I'm inviting you for attending my wedding next monday isAllah
Me: congratulation, Bark Allah lakoma wa bark 3alykoma wa gam3 bynkom fi 7`eeer
Me: but is it fara7 Islamy wala Gahly
My Friend: Gahly 7adretk isAllah :D
wallahi 2na b2a mesh 3arf, actually i were taking a decision for not attending non-islamic celebration once again, and attend islamic wedding and celebration only.
I believe this decision may let some of my friends feel annoyed and angry but May Allah support me to apply it.
under siege
bas ya sidi, they took this decision wa 3ynek matshooof ella el noooor :( my simple life become a hard one, I can see dust and sand all the time, asasn I hate dust but I can see it everywhere even on my poor notebook :((. I can't perform my regular activities such as stretching, check internet, update my blog, ...etc. in summary this DECISION put my life under siege
In other hand some workers are really lazy, and don't perform their work in a good way so they spend a lot of time in easy job :((
The most ugly part in this story that, there are some events (in Square 1) should be made nowadays but sadly this decision postponed it :((
Please, PRAY for me :(

relativity
so imagine yourself is sitting with an angel comes to the earth for talking with you for a little, and you have to stay ONLY less than one hour with him;
how happy are you?! of course you will try to make use of every minute, no no , you will try to make use of every second in that hour. looking and listening to him, you will try close your eyes so it can confined him from going away; and at the end of that hour, you have to say I have to go now, you say it with ur mouth but ur mind and heart say what a fool man, what are you doing?
but sadly you know you can't stay more than one hour :(
In other hand, when u sit with a devile comes to earth to make a conversation with you, you wish the time pass quickly to end this conversation,
although you are the same one, but there are a great difference between the two feelings,
That's called relativity

Stress reducers
1. Get up fifteen minutes earlier in the morning. The inevitable morning mishaps will be less stressful.
2. Do nothing you have to lie about later.
3. Don't rely on your memory. Write down appointment times, when to pick up the laundry, when library books are due, etc. ("The palest ink is better than the most retentive memory."- Old Chinese Proverb)
4. Procrastination is stressful. Whatever you want to do tomorrow, do today; whatever you want to do today, do it now.
5. Allow 15 minutes of extra time to get to appointments. Plan to arrive at an airport one hour before domestic departures.
more stress reducers
Technology and our social activities
so in old centuries they had used carrier pigeons to send their messages, last century people used regulare message (Gwabat) for sending messages, but nowadays we are heavily depend on email for exchanging messages,
even in marriage issues, in 3antr wa 3abala days, 3antr used to go 3abala's home for seeing her (of course 3abala's father couldn't punish 3antr because 3antr was a strong man :)),
in 20th century people were depending on regulare mails (Gwabat ya3ni); but nowadays you may marray or engage someone by sending him email or even sms :D
In the same time you may wait the reply in email, sms or even missed call ;) .
In summary, technology makes our life better!!!
p.s: do u remember my friend beta3 bride from CIA, 3ala fekra8 he is still waiting till now :)
he has told me when he tried to send email to his future bride isAllah; she didn't give a reply and when she decide to reply she sent an aggressive one, t2reban wallaho 23lam she consider email as 7`lwa, of course she won't read my posts because she didn't know me asasn, but I like to say in high loud email is NOT considered 7`lwa wallaho 23lam. :D
I have learned this lesson
anybody look for habits and attitudes from his/her prespective, so you may like a habit or attitude and in the same time you find your brother or friend don't like it
of course there are a set of bad habits like smoking and procrastination, but I'm talking about normal habits and attitudes,
usually person spent a lot of time in fighting to change other people attitudes and habits but in most cases they fail to change it, because people are convinced with these habits and attitudes; and are not ready to change it (don't forget we are talking about normal habits and attitudes)
I were one of people that spent a lot of time fighting to change other persons attitudes and habits to fit with me, but i have discovered that's not 100% true!!!
because I have wast a lot of time in fighting with them to change their attitudes and habits in a time I can live and adapt my self with it.
I have learned to live with people as they are, with their habits, attitudes, thoughts, ...etc
as long as these attitudes, habits,...etc are 7alal and mo7trama,
in other words I learned to enjoy my life with people as they are; and not spending a lot of time in fighting for change NOT bad attitudes and habits

You may already be there
A boat docked in a tiny Mexican village. An American tourist complimented the Mexican fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them.
"Not very long," answered the Mexican.
"But then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the American.
The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.
The American asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"
"I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs. I have a full life."
The American interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat."
"And after that?" asked the Mexican.
"With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise."
"How long would that take?" asked the Mexican.
"Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years," replied the American.
"And after that?"
"Afterwards? Well my friend, that's when it gets really interesting," answered the American, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!"
"Millions? Really? And after that?" asked the Mexican.
"After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends."
And the moral of this story is: ......... Know where you're going in life... you may already be there.
mmmmmm, do u thing r u already there ?! :)Tuesday, October 30, 2007

Bride from CIA :)
By the way, I were asking him,
Me: What the last news?!
He: No new under the sun, Nothing!!!
Me: why ya 3am, enta mesh 7`alas ro7t wa kol 7aga tamam?!
He: Yes, but I'm still in waiting state :(
Me: waiting state, Kol da8, le8 ya3ni :O ?
He: I don't know man, I feel I'll engage bride from CIA :D
Heheheheheh, i wouldn't be able to control my self when i heard this statement, bride from CIA, really I don't know Why all this time is taken in thinking, for example in my friend case, I'm sure my friend is a good one (Masha2 Allah), polite, Moltzm, ...etc,
of course he may has some negatives, but nobody is perfect, and generally he is a good man (Mesh my friend b2a :) )
Of course I knew you will say now, you say that because he is your friend, but bride family don't know him, I'll say, you are right, but because we are Muslims, our marriage is controlled by Islam rules so Islam tell guy who want to engage or marry someone "أظفر بذات الدين",
In the same time, Islam tell bride's family "من جائكم ترضون خلقه ودينه فزوجوه"
so the issue is sho shimple (3ala ra2y wa7d sa7by) and needn't all that time
Fast decisions
if the answer is yes, so i recommend you to read the following article,
well, decision making according to wikipedia is a cognitive process leading to the selection of a course of action among variations;
everybody everyday, need to apply some sort of decision making process, what will you ( eat, wear, ...etc) are kind of decisions you take everybody,
of course difficulties of decision making process depends on criticality of the decision; for example, we can't give What will you eat today? decision a rank like who will you marry ? decision, of course marriage decision should take high rank of criticality because it is a strategic decision somehow.
but in the same time there is a factor affects most of decisions in our life, this factor is how quickly will you take the decision?
There are some people like slow decisions depend on quote that says " In haste there is regret and in taking time there is peace/safety" "فى التأنى السلامه وفى العجله الندامه" :D
While there are other people like fast decisions depend on quote that says "Fast and Good decision is better than Slow and Very Good decision"
of course there is nothing always right and there is nothing always wrong, but for me I like fast decisions, I don't deny, it may have some negatives, but I believe it is more effective than slow decisions.
