2011 Lessons !!


This post is part of this project.

So let me summarize the lessons I learnt the hard and easy way in 2011

1- Care less about negative people, or people in general. I mean in the sense of "who care what they think" and
  "Wafa, zip your lips.." .

2- People are really funny, really. (in a sarcastic way )

3-To not try harder for anyone, just be myself...

4-Second chances do exist.. about a month and a half ago, I was invited back with 100 and more teachers for the interview -the second part- for applying to be a vice-principle. Earlier we were told that they have already chosen about 30 -makes you feel like it's been cooked before- so someone might have been complaining on the right ear and they decided to give more a second chance.

5-What you see -with your eyes, heart and soul- doesn't mean it's what everyone else's see or hear. and that always make my eyes goes  O-O

6-Those who are in need of you still deserve the fight you are willing to take for them.

7-needing someone doesn't mean you have to love them but you should respect them at least so your conscience  won't nag you too much.

8-No one is as strong as they believe and look.

9-Praising is the tool the devil use to make dictators.

10-Dictators can be thrown out of power -the easy or toughest way-

11-The hands of God do make miracles.

Wafa, I was laughing at some of your thoughts. Firstly, thanks for co-hosting with me and Marie.

I agree with everything you've said, especially about dictators. 2011 was the year of the fall of the Dictator. I cannot wait until the others fall.

#5 is the ultimate lesson, sometimes my eyes go like that too, lol.

Happy New Year!

Salma,

of course, that was quick lessons learned in 2011, I may go back-one day- and give more details to them especially seeing how great you and the other ladies did :)

Great list! I love how you express yourself. I saw this project mentioned in another post, but couldn't think of anything at the time. I'm glad to see your list though. You really learned quite a lot last year! Now I'm going to second guess giving praise to people! :-D

Susanne,

I did learn a lot this year, some the hard way and some the easy way :)

about praising people, it's also connected to their personality and since we all have huge gaps in our souls then this is mostly falls in the wrong place. Now don't stop praising people especially me :P
:)

Susanne said...

Haha! OK, deal! You are wonderful! :D

Wafa' said...

Susanne,

now that's a beautiful praise :)

thanks a lot my dear :)

I liked some of your lessons, mostly # 1 and # 5, but also # 11 and # 6. But they are all good, mostly because you learned them and noted them.

Love and blessings for 2012.

What a great list Wafa, what you learn talk to all of us.
*5 - My eyes go like this too and I always have a hard time remembering your words.
*11 - The best one, indeed when you put your trust in God, you see the miracles are many.

Take care and glad you're part of the idea!
