بلاش تكون ضفدع

Image
أظن أغلبية الناس تعرف قصة الضفدع مع التأقلم!! لو عايز تحط ضفدع في مياه مغلية، ف أكيد هيموت. و لكن لو حطيت الضفدع في مياه عادية و شوية بشوية سخنت المياه دي لدرجة الغليان ف الضفدع هيقعد في المياه و كل شوية يتأقلم على درجة الحرارة الجديدة، لحد ما هيموت فاجأه! هي دي حياة أغلبنا .. بنتأقلم على حياتنا و نسميها روتين .. كل ما يحصل حاجة جديدة بنتأقلم عليها لحد ما نموت!! ببساطه إحنا اللي بنخلق الروتين، إحنا اللي بنتأقلم على كل جديد و نستسلم له. زي الضفدع ما بيستسلم لسخونة المياه كل مرة و في الأخر بيموت!! الحل بسيط و في أيدينا .. أننا نكسر الروتين! بلاش نتأقلم على كل جديد. مش لازم تتعود أنك كل يوم بتسمع نفس الأغاني و أنت رايح للشغل أو راجع من الشغل!! غير نوع الأغاني و المغني كل يوم و أكتشف حاجات جديدة، مثلاً أنهردة جاز و بكرة كلاسيك و بعده أوبرا و بعده شعبي و هكذا. حتى لو مش نوع الموسيقى المفضل ليك، بس هيكون تغير و كسر للروتين.بدل ما كل خروجاتك بتكون في المطعم الفلاني أو الكافيه العلاني، تقدر تنزل تتمشي في شوارع المعادي أو شوارع الزمالك أو شوارع مصر القديمة ز في أيدك أيسكريم أو ذرة مشوي

There is a nice book by Karim Rashid, published on April 2006. Its aim is to help you rethink your whole life, love, and work. And here I am listing 20 general tips to apply in your life immediately & enhance your productivity. Live like someone from another planet, observing and engaging in the human condition. Artists sees the present, while others see the past. Be objective! In designing yourself, be fearless to push the boundaries. We are all born creative, but at some point this creativity stops. Be creative and indulge in it! We grow up afraid to stand out and express our true selves. Being casual, cross-cultural oriented, and open-minded to be unbiased and open to freely express your true self. Eliminating formalities saves time and brings mobility.

Design instead of craft; design with a full plan and then

Millennial Nuggets #4

*This is inspired from TEDx talks. For non-millennials: Public believe that we are all narcissistic, lazy, addicted to the mobile/digital, depending on our parents & can climb the highest mountain, but can't bear climbing the corporate ladder! WHICH IS WRONG. We all are only YOUNG! Because we are young (like any other 21 years old persons), we are not mature enough & we are entitled!  We are born believing that we should be employable. Taking loads of unpaid/paid internships, taking loans to afford really expensive universities, taking loads of courses, and much more! Studies shows that millennials need to be good parents, good sufficient others, or good to the community; this is nothing like being narcissistic, right? Don't buy the whole package!! We are struggling with the fact that we are growing up, think of your young adult years! For Millennials: The public sees us as the future leaders, but we are not! We can change the world positively.
