My New Year's resolution !



What I am going to say right now might sound weird to many of you, but I’m just saying the truth, I've never done a new year's resolution before. Because I didn't believe that by just writing some of my goals on a paper I could really change my life.

But after all the experiences that I had in my life I began to understand what the idea of a new year’s resolution is and why it is something important for approximately everyone. I guess the people who do New Year’s resolutions every year are BELIEVERS; they believe that by writing down these things they can actually make them real. After reading the secret I understood what believing is and why it’s important in everyone’s life so I was really inspired by this thought.

That’s why I decided to do for the first time in my whole life to create a new year’s resolution. But my new year’s resolution was a very unique one because it only had one thing; this thing is that I wanted to become a BELIEVER. Believe in the things that I want to happen, that’s a successful and easy and quick way to get what you want.  Maybe what I just said might sound complicated to you but it’s not complicated at all. Wish you all the best year ever! :D

Globalization

Coca Cola - Symbol of globalization

Your shirt was made in Mexico and your shoes in China. Your CD player comes from Japan. You can travel to Moscow and eat a Big Mac there and you can watch an American film in France. Today goods are made and sold all over the world. Thanks to globalization, who made everything easier.

Globalization is growing quickly. A German company can produce cars in Brazil and then sell them in the United States. A businessman in Argentina can buy a part of a company in Belgium on one day and sell parts of another business in China the next. Thanks again to globalization. It’s not only about business we can also talk about fast food companies like KFC for example it’s now almost around the world. That’s what we call globalization. Everything can become in a second worldwide.

Everything in life has advantages and disadvantages just like globalization. The good sides of globalization are that it gives you more a larger marker. You can sell more goods and make more money and also create more jobs in your country. Globalization also helps by making products cheaper.

On the other side, Globalization may lead to more environmental problems. A company may want to build factories in other countries because environmental laws are not as strict as they are at their own country.  Also some of the poorest countries in the world, especially in Africa, may get even poorer. Their population is not as educated as in developed countries and they don’t have the new technology that developed countries have. In addition human, animal and plant diseases can spread more quickly through globalization.

From my opinion I don’t really like the idea of globalization because it only benefits the developed countries and it has many disadvantages for the undeveloped countries in the whole world. It also can cause forgetting a country’s culture. For example here in Egypt no one buys his cloths from the Egyptian brands everyone buys from “Zara” which is not an Egyptian brand. This is why I don’t like the idea of globalization!

Unforgettable Vacation...

New Year's Eve Party =D
Now that it's the end of the winter break, i began to realize that this vacation was an amazing one even though i didn't travel anywhre, I had so much fun with my friends in Cairo. At the beginning of the vacation i was very mad because i didn't go with my friends to Dahab, because my father said that it was not safe. Yes, that is true. It was not safe at all but because i'm very stubborn i didn't agree with him. Let's just skip this part because it's annoying, and head to the part where I had fun. As I wrote my night in the church on my very first post on the blog, i would like to remind you of that amazing night with my friends, very random friends, some are my sister's friends and other are common friends that we know from Alexandria. Anyway, that was one of the amazing nights of my vacation. I can also add to my amazing nights, the new year's eve party. This was also an unforgettable night with my friends, where everyone was happy and dancing, and everyone counting down to start a new year, and to new beginnings, was such an amazing feeling. I really wish I could go back in time and spend this night over and over again. That's why i could actually say that I had so much fun in my winter break, but now it's time to study! :(

The Secret

I started reading "The Secret" today, and also finished it! It's a very inspiring book, and i'm going to start writing my book review! I heard about The Secret, or the law of attraction several times, but I didn't really believe in it. But after reading this book, I think I will apply it in my life. Actually one of my friends applied it, and it worked!
