Things I'm Proud Of

Sometimes when I'm down and feel like the world has let me down I think of stuff that made my life beautiful despite what I'm go through right now. I do remember the things in me that made me who I am today. I know it's not easy to defeated the hard times but we can at least try. 

I'll list the good stuff in me that I feel proud of and thankful to my lord for giving them to me. 

1. First of all I'm proud that I'm a Muslim and know my god.
2. That I'm an educated girl who had the blessing of education. 
3. I can stand for my own self and fight for my rights. 
4. I'm an employe
 ~ just couple of years ago I used to think I'm useless and the job removed that feeling from me.
5. I know like 4 languages and learning 2 more. 

6. Proud that I run this blog, 
it's one of my ways to let the world know who I am. 
7. Proud to have an open mind without losing the touch to my culture.
8. Proud to have such family, 
even if they aren't the kind of family the taught me a lot. 
9. Proud for who I am after these years. 
10. Proud of my strong personality that I have 
- even if I chicken out sometimes!

I'm proud of ... 

11. My will in finding and discovering new things without fear. 
12. In telling the truth and admitting my mistakes. 
13. Having the craziest 2 sisters in the world. 
14. Myself! 
15. My job and anything I produce. 

These are somethings that bright up my mind whenever I think of them and I want to go forward. It might be an simple thing for someone but for your it surely is a big thing. 

So tell me... what are you proud of?!

A Lightweight Pop Up Survey For All Blogs

A reblog post for blogging ...

Something I have been seeing a lot on blogs and websites is the pop up survey from Qualaroo.It's actually a neat way to run a survey on your blog, it sits in the corner of the page big enough to grab the attention of the reader but not so big as to block content.It also has a close option so if readers are not interested they can get rid of it.

The default survey is set to ask readers how they found your site but there are a number of set surveys and you can create your own with any questions you want. You then have an account dashboard you access to view the stats and results.I added a version to this test blog on blogger so you can see it in action. The survey can be easily added to Blogger, Wordpress (self hosted only), Tumblr and TypePad blogs.

Add The Survey To Your Blog

First you need to set up your survey and get the code here is a link to Qualaroo to do just that. Once you have the code Qualaroo check this link to instal it in blogger;

[ReBlog] Haters! DIE HARD!

A little re-post entry for one of my past thoughts.
" The best way to piss off a hater is to do what you like and they hate!"

I'm not telling you to start a war but sometimes it's always good to take action and tell the world that you respect them and not willing to wast your breath for them in the same time let them know that you can fight back and strong to handle any hardship in your way. 

A hater will always be a hater no matter what you do, that's why that are called that. You surely won't waste anything for them but they will know and be mad when they see you doing as you like and not as they are pleased. Remember, never leave your rights for any one B)

Life's Struggles

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared; he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress.

It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could 

and it could go no farther.

Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.

Our Friendship (Poem)

Friendship isn't always easily described. The Eskimos, they say, have a hundred different words for snow. Unfortunately, the English language isn't quite as innovative, though it has vast opportunities to differentiate meaning. Certainly, Love is one of those opportunities. And so, too, is Friendship.

Instead of different words, however, we're stuck with simple adjectives. Close friend. Best friend. Childhood friend. Intimate friend. Trusted friend. Beloved friend. But whether you use adjectives or different words, few could deny the nearly infinite meaning in such a simple word.

Friends are special people. We can't pick our family, and we're sorely limited in the number of them at any rate. Society and mores (and often our own conscience) dictate we select a single mate. But our friends can be as diverse and infinite as the adjectives we choose. 

Our friends, in a very real sense, reflect the choices we make in life.

Grateful

The more obstacles we get in life the less we think of stuff that are worth to talk about. 

Bad stuff can really let your mood down and you feel like doing nothing for the whole day. It's  natural to do things you like to lighten the mood but talking about them all the time will make things even wetter and grouchy. Even when it's hard try to thinks that made your life beautiful. 

There many things that we ought to be grateful too, hardship shouldn't blind us from them. 

1. Health 

What more you can ask for?! You can walk, talk, move around and bug others without anyone's help. Aren't you grateful for that?! think of those who can't see, or don't move around without someone's help. It's a blessing you got there. 

2. Job and money

Talking about job isn't as fun as talking about money. We want the last one more than we want the first one but they are related to each other. The first one brings the second one, the more you are there, there more you will get it. At least you are earning something from this whole headache and it's away for your pleasure.

The Lovely Ten

Everything I need to know, I learned from Noah's Ark

ONE: Don't miss the boat.

TWO: Remember that we are all in the same boat.

THREE: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.

FOUR: Stay fit. When you're 60 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.

FIVE: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

SIX: Build your future on high ground.

SEVEN: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

EIGHT: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

NINE: When you're stressed, float awhile.

TEN: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

Password

Can you solve this riddle?

A man worked at a high security institution. The man tried to log into his computer and the computer denied the password. He then remembered that the passwords to the computers were reset every month for security reasons. He called his boss for his new password.

The man said, "Boss, my old password is out of date."

The boss said, "Yes, it is. The new password is different, but if you listen closely you will be able to figure out the new one. Your new password has the same amount of letters as the old one, and four of the letters are the same."

The man then logged into his computer with no trouble. 

What was the new password? What was his old?

10 PRINCIPLES

Stop and ask yourself today, "How do I really feel about myself?"  

Before you answer read these ten principles.

Better yet, keep them before you daily.

(1)  Never think or speak negatively about yourself.


(2)  Meditate on your God-given strengths and learn to encourage yourself, for much of the time nobody else will.

(6)  Have the courage to be different.

Words On Family

Probably one of the most powerful words. 

They are like really amazing people. The one thing that make them really special is that they have been in your life ever since you were a baby and the opposite is correct. You know every thing about them and so do they. 

They might be some personal secrets between but in away or another you already know them every well. Family are like the one place you can go back to when the whole world gives you its back. They won't turn you away, even if you don't find that kind of help you need, you'll get a listening ear to your problems with interest and soft heart unlike others who wants to know what's going (down) with you just to have fun out of curiosity or take advantage of you later.

Life Goes On

I know lately I've not been talking much about other topic than my personal experiences at work but this is what this blog is about. To write things I learn in life and let other people inspire from my things. 

So, it's been like 7 months already. I remember in the past year how I was dying for a job. I prayed a lot to my god to give me one and my prayers have been answered. It may not hit from the first go but as starters, it's a great beginning. I've been like in 3 jobs until now. Started with a temporary summer club teacher, then secretary and now as an admin assistant. I can say that I did knew a lot by going in these steps and each job has it's own troubles. 

It's a natural thing I guess since work is all about that. I knew how to deal with different people and how to act in different situations. I knew the rights from wrongs, even if I can't tell them all every time but I still can figure things out. Moving from a job to job has more than just earning experience and exploring the world. I sure do want a comfortable position with nice salary. I think money is a way to live life and one of its necessaries, no matter how people say it doesn't bring happiness you just gotta have to continue life.
