My work experience during the previous 7 months

After 7 months from joining the work-world I have to say it..

Work-world is very tough and difficult..
Today .. I waked up @ 6:00, to get a walk before the work..

During my walk.. I was thinking in the last 7 months and why we are working... what are the main reasons that let all of us work...
In this post I will speak about the first part.. I will speak about my experience in the previous 7 months.

Every thing "seems" measured by money..so if you don't well set your goals you may fall in the same confusion.

Working changed my personality a lot. It made me to do things more fast. It made me think in a mature way. But in the same time it made me lose some of my friends due to being busy.

I made some investigation about this issue and this is what I reached:

1. I am working as I have a great amount of energy that must be handled ...
I didn't used to be calm or waste my time.. my dad is usually saying :"Abeer wants to do every thing very fast.. even getting her launch.." he is right.. most days, I am getting my launch walking in my flat or wa ana wa2fa.. the last time I got it with my family -I mean setting on the launch table- nearly was last month.. It is a very bad habbit that I want to get ride of..

2. I am working to be an ideal .. most persons like to be ideals.. Dads usually say that they were the first in their class as they want their children to see them as an ideal..I want to make a real difference in the place I am in..

And as I was working in a small company, First let me draw the nice world in Centrivision:).

As you may know -and I have mentioned in one of my posts- that I really admire working in that small company. Working with the young AUCian managers made my work life looks different.

We still do our activities, bookants and 10-minutes. We are planning to make a training after a week from now. We have a great board that we put stars for "elnaas elshatreen :) zai 3abeer ;)" as I used to say.

This is the beautiful part of the picture. In the same time I have learnt some lessons in life that I will never forget.

Don't work except you could afford the responsibility of working..
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't work in a small company except if you could afford that.. and here I will like to elaborate more:

1. Working in a small company will make you lose some benefits that you may get in other medium size or big companies. Your mates may get better salaries but you will get experience and personal contacts instead.You may reach their salaries after a period. You have to choose and determine...

2. Working in a small company needs faith and well.. needs energy and patient.. you must concentrate if you would like to share in building such a small company.

3. You may get annoyed of the inconsistent rules.. you may get annoyed of unexpected action of the others.. you may fall in confusion as you can't get clearly what the management want you to do and what is behind the scene...what is their policy of measuring things.. and also get confused to determine who should know what.

4. You may don't find somethings that motivate you to excel. You should search by your self for these things whatever inside the company or out side.

Some persons may see the previous points interesting and affordable like me. So set with your self and determine what you want exactly...

As my coming posts will show you,the work world is tough and mature zeyada 3an elaazem... there is no space for persons who have children thinking or well...

After the 7 months, I need to say it to my mother, without your strong faith and belief in your girl I will not be there. Mama , when I joined work I felt that this world is very big and complex. No one have the same measurement for things as I have. I am really afraid from that world. I didn't dream to live in that hard world one day....

Abeer

** لو إطلعتم على الغيب لإخترتم الواقع **

Alslamo 3likom,

Days ago, I heard some good news about "Hoda".. who is Hoda?

My friend said:

OK .. Hoda is one of the most beautiful Egyptian girls in the Club that I had my training in. She is funny and beloved from all persons who knew her and the most important thing that she is good Ideal for a Muslim girl...

Some years ago, I heard ladies asking "Did Hoda got married? Why she wasn't a bride till now?" .. it is something strange .. If you know Hoda you will have the feeling of wonder.. and you will wonder more when you know that each time she got engaged, the engagement process was finished unsuccessfully...

After she completed 30 years old, she got married from Yasser. And after 11 months from her marriage she got a baby called "Yossef" ...

You will feel that this story is very normal in our life.. but let me tell you some facts you don't know . Yasser -who married Hoda now- engaged her before their marriage by 7 years. Due to a misunderstanding happened, the engagement ended and Yasser left Hoda with her pain.


After 7 years, Allah made the truth appeared, and Yasser has known new facts that made him returned to his previous bride.

Let us think for a while in this story ..
If Hoda got married when she got engaged from yasser before the seven year, she will live in 2 pains :
1. The misunderstanding that ended their engagement before
2. That she don't have a baby, as "Yossef" will not come to our world except after an exact time Allah knows. That means she will not be offered a child except after 7 years from her marriage which is a real pain for a Mum.

What I want to say is:

Sometimes you suffer from a problem that make you dream to have another life other than the one you have. But as we have seen Hoda, Allah kept the best thing for her. Allah knows what is the best thing for all of us so you must believe in that.

I like these AYAT:

{ زُيِّنَ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا وَيَسْخَرُونَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَالَّذِينَ اتَّقَواْ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَاللّهُ يَرْزُقُ مَن يَشَاء بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ } سورة البقرة الأية ( 212 )

Last thing, if you know what ALLAH hides from you, you will choose your current life/state.
** لو إطلعتم على الغيب لإخترتم الواقع **

It worth to spend some minutes thinking in ...!

Alslamo 3likom ,

How are you all? I hope that all of you are fine ..

Days ago, I was taking a walk with my friend and she mentioned that sometimes your choice could make a great effect on others...

I thought on her words .. Sometime, when you are put in any situation and you are asked to take a decision on it, a lot of things may appear to show you how the taken decision -whatever the decision was- was totally wrong and you may ask yourself : "yah, hewa ana 3amlt keda ezay?!" "How I have taken this decision?!".

You may got depressed and you want the time to return back to change your decision!!

.. BUT ...

I don't know why this aya come to my mind again and again these days ..
احسب الناس ان يتركوا ان يقولوا امنا وهم لا يفتنون

This aya said -according to my little knowledge- " Do people be left to say that we believe in Allah without being seduced "

What I want to say here is: If you are put in a situation one day, and you have to take a decision that may affect you as well as others so..
1. Do estekhara, and ask Allah to help you in that choice "
أسأل الله تعالى أن يرزقنا وإياك أن يرنى الحق حقا ويرزقنا اتباعه وأن يرنى الباطل باطلا .

"
2. Then take the decision and do not blame yourself about the results of that decision.. i.e. "If I have taken the decision X I will be more happy and the life will be much better" .. and if you find difficulties in doing the things so it may be some FETNA and Allah want to see what you will do to face that thing..

Again, the aya is

احسب الناس ان يتركوا ان يقولوا امنا وهم لا يفتنون

Read it and feel it.. it worth to spend some minutes thinking in its meaning!

Do you make 100 bad thing daily?!

Alslamo 3likom,

After my decision to stop writing in my blog, I found many new ideas and issues I liked to write about :).

Last weekend, I spent 2 full days with my small family :). Really the life is much better than we could imagine. Playing with my small sister and brother reminded me with my childhood days! It is really a real fun that I miss.

Gameel.. during these two days, I was intended to make the best use of them especially with my small brother and sister. I made the two children a timetable to help them record good things they are doing like :
- Praying ON time
- Helping mama
- Solving the homework and get good marks
- going to tahfeez (my brother and sister are going daily to a place that makes them memorize Quraan. Mariam,13 years old, nearly finished 14 goz2 and Mahmoud "nickname Toti :)", 8 years old, finished 5 or 6 agzaa)

I asked my brother to add another good thing to his list:). I asked him to yesta3'fer "يستغفر" -yesta3'fer means ask Allah to forgive you - , about 100 times daily to ask Allah to forgive him. And every time he makes that esteghfaar it is preferable to remind him self with bad things and ask Allah to forgive him.

"Ok Abeer", he thought for a while and said "100 bad thing I make daily ?! tab if I didn't make 100 bad thing, should I asta3'fer bardo?"

I smiled and told to myself :"Yaah .. he is right.. his world is extremely small comparing to all of us.. he can't imagine that he could make 100 fault daily but we are doing more :( .. Yes ya toti .. "...


What I like to say by this mail is :
Let all of us minimize the number of bad things "معاصى" and increase the number of asking Allah to forgive and bless all of us.

( من لزم الإستغفار جعل الله له من كل هم فرجاً و من كل ضيق مخرجاً و رزقه من حيث لا يحتسب ))


و يقول سبحانه و تعالى فى قصة سيدنا نوح عليه السلام مع قومه :-
{ فقلت إستغفروا ربكم إنه كان غفاراً يرسل السماء عليكم مدراراً و يمدكم بأموال و بنين و يجعل لكم جنات و يجعل لكم أنهارا }
