Today’s dose of wisdom: Motivational Quotes

Take a lesson from the mosquito. It never waits for an opening; it makes one.

When we wake up in the morning, we have two simple choices: go back to sleep and dream, or wake up and chase those dreams.

Success is not permanent and failure is not final! So, never stop working after success and never stop trying after failure!

Investment in people brings the highest return in life.

Life is an experiment. It could end in disaster one day, puts you on top of the world the next day and will leave you wondering what happens, the next. The challenge is to turn the experiment into a life, well experimented.

Push yourself past your own expectations and those of others. Once you think you have had enough, push a little harder.

Today's Dose of Wisdom: The Right Way To Kill!!

"It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets." Voltaire

And that's why I don't see FOX or SKY news saying anything about what's going on in Gaza!!

The Israelis are doing it with STYLE!

Obama delivers on his promise

"Without lies humanity would perish of despair and boredom”. Anatole France.

Maybe we shouldn't complain about politics afterall. It is full of lies, and so it is enriching our lives with events to ensure we don't die of boredom! dying of other things is fine.

Once more, I felt excited and overwhilmed by the unpredictability (And so I lie again), and the ever entertaining nature of politics. FAR FROM BORING!!

During the past few days people I know were exchanging greetings and gestures of happiness! Signs of victory! On Facebook, status updates were so optimistic and sincere as if liberation has finally arrived to the long waiting Palestinians!!

I quote one of those: " Congratulations Abu Hussein!! A.K.A Obama!! "

Optimistic? Hopefull? Moderate? Desperate? Naive?... I really don't know what to call them!

" Barack Obama has announced that Rahm Emanuel, a former official in Bill Clinton's administration, has accepted his offer to become White House chief of staff. Emanuel was seen as a tough, hard nosed and highly partisan political operative known for his fiery temper with strong links to Israel. He is the son of a Jerusalem-born doctor who was active in an underground Zionist organisation that fought the British in Palestine before the founding of Israel."
From Al Jazeera website.

We should go back to our tents and whine for 8 more years. And then, become hopeful again!

It suits us!!

"To understand Europe, you have to be a genius - or French.” Madeleine Albright.

quite debatable.

Can't ague with that! The man is the smartest Homo Sapien on the face of Earth.

“The reason French roads have trees planted down both sides is that the Germans like to march in the shade"

Now this is what I call sense of humor!!
