Today is the beginning of a New Year,Today is the Beginning of a New Journey(In Shaa Allah)

Al Salamo Alikom (Peace On You)

Today is the beginning of a new Year 1432 after Higra,and I am about to start a fresh start,It is a new journey as I call it.
So this hives us the motivation to make a "Fresh Start"...not like the previous image ,but like ht next one.



Yes,I have just put a plan,It is a personal transformation plan,I am going to apply it to reclaim myself in some areas of my life and this plan might take 30,60 or 90 Days, So you can call it "The(fill in the blanks) Days Challenge",may be "The 30 Days Challenge"


And for everyday in this period it is supposed for me to do one thing at a time,and at the end of this journey I will come back again and tell you what Have I done,tools,strategies I used, and hopefully results I got.

I apologize in advance ,as I will not be able to reply to your messages,answer calls on phone or even be here with you on face-book.I just want to focus on my plan.

However,I encourage you to do also something like that ,to get to an area of your life that need to be improved and put down a plan,and take action on it.So when I come back again (In Shaa Allah) to tell you my story you will have your own story also.

I know that many people are going to make fun of this, while on the other hand, others will like it and get jealous to do the same,and I hope that you are from the second type of people.

Thank you for your time ,Thank you for your help and ,I wish you all that best.

Pray for me so I am able to execute what I want.

One final thing, if someone asks you about me ,Please just refer him to this note.

A Gift For You

Take NOTHING for granted!


Be sure to catch the FootNote at very end!  Wow!


Take NOTHING for granted!
 Watch the man on the left walking, crossing the road where there is no car . It is so definite that the coast on the left is clear,


 and safe to cross.
Any person would see it is safe... .


FunFunky.com



Take nothing for granted, not even for a split second!

 Be grateful for every living minute! 

VIDEO CAPTURED BY TRAFFIC CAMERA !!!!

'Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets;

So love the people who treat you right,
forget about the ones who don't,
and believe that everything happens for a reason.
If you get a chance, take it.
If it changes your life, let it.

FootNote: Believe it or not the pedestrian in the intersection lived! He was saved by the imprint that the PT Cruiser left in the driver's side of the Subaru. When the Subaru went over him, it came down on him right where the dent in the car was made, and did not crush him!  Another 'angel on your shoulder' event!

Company Logos and their Meanings( 6 images)

)Company Logos and their Meanings :



Ever wondered what company logos mean and whats the significance behind them? Wonder no more!

Company Logos and their Meanings

How many of you have noticed a hidden symbol in the Federal Express logo. Yeah, About the 'arrow' that you can see between the E and the x in this logo. The arrow was introduced to underscore speed and precision, which are part of the positioning of the company.

Company Logos and their Meanings

You might think the arrow does nothing here. But it says that amazon.com has everything from a to z and it also represents the smile brought to the customer's face. Wow, that is quite deep.

Company Logos and their Meanings

Eighty-20 is a small consulting company which does sophisticated financial modeling, as well as some solid database work. All their work is highly quantitative and relies on some serious computational power, and the logo is meant to convey it.

People first guess that 20% of the squares are darkened, but that turns out to be false after counting them. The trick is to view the dark squares as 1's and the light squares as 0's. Then the top line reads 1010000 and the bottom line reads 0010100, which represent 80 and 20 in binary.

Kinda like the surreal green screen of The Matrix, they want us to read stuff in binary

Company Logos and their Meanings

Paul Rand (who designed the iconic IBM logo in 1972) designed this 'eye bee M' logo in 1981. I like that they are quite relaxed about the logo, unlike certain other companies who do not like the logo to be tampered with in any way even for internal promotions

Company Logos and their Meanings

The SUN Microsystems logo is a wonderful example of symmetry and order. It was a brilliant observation that the letters u and n while arranged adjacent to each other look a lot like the letter S in a perpendicular direction. Spectacular.

Company Logos and their Meanings

The above are two magazines from the Readers Digest stable. Again, the attempt to communicate what it is about quite figuratively through the logo catches my attention.

Company Logos and their Meanings

This was a logo created for a puzzle game called Cluenatic. This game involves unravelling four clues. The logo has the letters C, L, U and E arranged as a maze. and from a distance, the logo looks like a key

A lion was Married

A lion was getting married. At his wedding was a mouse shouting away and congratulating the lion

"All the best, my brother. Good luck."

Seeing the mouse shouting away claiming that the lion getting married is his brotheranother Lion grabs the mouse in anger and asks: "Who the hell do you think you areHow can a lion be your brother? You are only a mouse."

The Mouse replies:
"I, too, was a Lion before I got married."

The Indian Way Vs. The English Way

An Englishman and an Indian are sitting next to each other on a long flight.

The Englishman is thinking that Indians are so dumb
that he could put one over them easy.

So the Englishman asks if the Indian would like to play
a fun game.

The Indian is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks.

The Englishman persists saying that the game is a lot of fun. "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5. Then you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500," he says.

This catches the Indian's attention and to keep the Englishman quiet, he agrees to play the game.

The Englishman asks the first question. 'What's the distance from the Earth to the Moon?'

The Indian doesn't say a word, but reaches into his pocket, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the Englishman.

Now it's the Indian's turn. He asks, 'What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?'

The Englishman uses his laptop and searches all references he can find on the Net.
He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows; all to no avail.  After an hour of searching, he finally gives up.

He wakes the Indian and hands him $500. The Indian pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep.
The Englishman is going nuts not knowing the answer.  He wakes the Indian up and asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?'

The Indian reaches into his pocket, hands the Englishman $5 and goes back to sleep.

10 Biggest Misconceptions We Learn in School

10 Biggest Misconceptions We Learn in School

1) Einstein got bad grades in school.
Generations of children have been heartened by the thought that this Nobel Prize winner did badly at school, but they’re sadly mistaken. In fact, he did very well at school, especially in science and maths (unsurprisingly).



2) Mice like cheese
Mice enjoy food rich in sugar as well as peanut butter and breakfast cereals. So a Snickers bar would go down much better than a lump of cheddar.


3) Napoleon was short.
He was actually around 5ft 7, completely average for the 18th/19th century.


4) Thomas Edison invented the light bulb.
Edison invented a lot of things – in fact he’s one of the most famous inventors of all time – but the light bulb wasn’t one of them. What he did was develop a light bulb at the same time as the British man, Joseph Swan, who came up with it originally.


5) Lemmings throw themselves over cliffs to commit suicide
The poor old things are sometimes so desperate for food that they do, according to the BBC “jump over high ground into water”, but they aren’t committing group suicide.


6) Water flushes differently in different hemispheres
No it doesn’t. Sorry!

7) Humans evolved from apes
Darwin didn’t actually say this, but he’s been misreported ever since. What he did say was that we, and apes, and chimpanzees for that matter, had a common ancestor, once, a long, long time ago.

8)Vikings had horns/helmets with horns.
Vikings may have been buried with their helmets and with drinking horns. When they were dug up by the Victorians, they assumed that the helmets had horns.

9) Columbus believed the earth was flat
He may not have known how big the world was, but he wasn’t worrying about falling off the edge of it.

10) Different parts of the tongue detect different tastes
You do have different taste buds on your tongue and some are more sensitive than others. But they aren’t divided into perfect, easy-to-teach sections.






*I Don not Know if These Facts are true or False,I just found it and said I would share it with you guys :)

Keep The Faith-How A New Vision Can Truely Change your Life


                    A Blind Boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet.

He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help."
There were only a few coins in the hat.





A Man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.


Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money
to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were...
The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"



The man said, "I only wrote the truth.
I said what you said but in a different way." I wrote:
"Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it."

Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people that they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?




Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative.
Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry,
show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile.
Face your past without regret.
Handle your present with confidence.
Prepare for the future without fear.
Keep the faith and drop the fear.

The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling¦

And even more beautiful is,
knowing that you are the reason behind it.

All the Things BP Could Buy With the Money Lost from the Oil Spill:

With the lost money, BP could add an island in the Bahamas to their purchases. Lighthouse Cay has four miles of beachfront and costs $33.3 million.
BP could also purchase a pogo stick for every elementary school kid in the U.S. At $25 each from Amazon.com, the toys would cost a total of $621.25 million.
BP could also supply a three-pack of condoms to every teenager in the U.S. If they got the 1,000 count discount packs from Amazon.com, the condoms would cost $8.45 million.
The lost income could also purchase an iPad for every college student in the U.S. at a total cost of $8.305 billion.
BP could purchase a trip to outer space for every U.S. Senator. At $30 million each from Space Adventures, the total cost would be $3 billion.
BP could also have purchased a year’s sponsorship for one million needy kids at Children International. At $22 per month per child, the total cost would be $264 million.
BP could buy a three-wolf t-shirt for every person in America. At $10.99 on Amazon.com, the total cost would be $3.432 billion. BP could also buy a second wolf shirt for every person in Idaho. At 10.99 each, the total would be $17 million.
The total cost of all of these items is $100,000,000,000. This is how much BP stock has lost as of June 2010. This doesn’t include the $3.5+ billion spent in recovery efforts so far.
