lauraaa: Sharm the far distance dream. Everyone among us has his own dream. It??s a standard for the human beings to continue the life path aiming for something. It can be a big goal or a small one; it may come true or may not. But to aim for this goal and look up to reach for it, even with a small step toward it will make the inner soul of a person alive. Would life make it easy to reach? Life will put pressure and obstacles, maybe also problems, in which will make the journey interesting and worth the whole effort and the hard work. In order to gain experience, one should make mistakes. Wise woman ones told me: ??you should take the wrong decision first for the sake of learning and benefit more experiences, either you won??t know what was or will be the right decision for your life to take, just make the choice?. Destiny may change some details while walking toward this dream to make it come true. U turns; you may take and begin from the start point again. But if you look deeply into those changes in details, you find yourself knowing new things. Maybe meeting new people who will leave a big mark in your life or seeing new scenes you didn??t pay attention to before and most important it??s, maybe, redo things or job or decisions, the right way this time. Never complain about what destiny brings into your life, whether it brings you up or down. There is always a reason for the destiny game in everyone??s life, is it a new idea, a hint or even visualization (by dream, contemplation, déjà vue)!? Brief, it depends on your own personality to turn it all around to your own positive benefit; either is it an emotional benefit or a business one. Motivation is the key to a successful life. Then the sun will always shine even at the bad situations you could put yourself in. 1 Based on a true story, this dream ?? supposing- came true eventually. While thinking to write this book, I was purchasing after the thought of living this dream by real live steps, or maybe I was really living it. The reason is: the dream was chasing me again and again from exactly the year 2003. As I recall it was a project assigned by my professor to create and advertising brochure for a touristic town or city or even a country that left and influence or attract you while visiting it, or maybe, it??s your own town or country and need some publicity to go into the light of the tourism market. For sure now, you already know which college I was in, or graduated from, it was Mass media college; known as the faculty of information and documentation. Specialized in Audio-visual, English section. But in the second year of college we were still in common material with the written media, which is press, that??s why we had the written brochure as an assignment. Anyway, I started to ask myself: can I do something about my country? If so, how could I do it, while I am living outside my native country? All I know about it is those fading memory of some few visits I did with my parents every other summer for countable days, and that was only to reach the relatives and not to do tourism. And if so, which town or city or part I will write about, or advertise for? Another fact appeared now; the country I was living in was not my native country. I lived and grown in a place I really consider my second country. From childhood till adolescence and I really appreciate all the good traditions I absorb and all the culture I grew up to have knowledge about, opened my eyes on traditions of this country I consider my own, and friends were and still my best I ever had, also neighbors were like the relatives I missed and never had because of the distance. Not to mention the qualities I gain and will use in my path to the expectation of a better life. This country known as the Arabian Paris is Lebanon. Brief, it was the first chance for me to consider knowing much more details about my own country, not the usual stuff like geography or history as we studied all along in school. This time was professionally and emotionally. Professionally as my major made me to and emotionally because it passed more than 19 years, my age then, knowing nothing but what the books gave me from knowledge about it. When the professor assigned to us this kind of project: advertise your country for more tourists attraction, it was like ?? OMG ??! From where should I start? Which part should I speak out about? What kind of sights should I advertise? Natural sights, historical sights, a relaxing trip, maybe a safari trip, or living in the sea trip, no a Nile trip? as long as I am going with the questions as much as I am specifying which spot to choose and become more clear. I have only 10 days to finish this project, so I went on with the research between books, encyclopedia and internet? my eyes were wide open to observe all those things that I don??t know about my home land. Through all the amazing pictures and information and how much places you can visit there , for all kind of tastes. Made it hard to decide which way to go. People have different kind of taste specially when it come to how they will spend their vacation. Some of them just want to live in the past through historical sights and monuments, others see that the sun and the sea as the perfect idea of a relaxing vacation, maybe it should me a camping trip as an adventure to never forget. Now you should know which country I am talking about, my home land, know by Hirodot a the great Greece philosopher ??Egypt the gift of the Nile?. |
