What Nice Words

It is so true. Lets accept each other for who we are. Lets learn to appreciate each others ideas, and thoughts. lets learn from each others cultures and religions, lets enjoy the best of everything. Living a healthy and fruitfull life with adventure and joy is not only compelling but very interesting.

This is Complicated..................

What does being COOL mean.

I take care of myself. I make sure that I go to the gym, not to build muscle, but to make sure that I am not putting weight on. I wera good clothes, not to show off, but because I beleive in quality and buying the best that I can afford.

I generally try to interect with all types of people, yound old, male female, all nationalities, sects, and religions.

I drive a good car and go out quite a lot, I watch the latest movies and purchase the newest phones, gadgets and watches. I generally have good relationships with the people i know and work with. I pay attention to my family, friends and collegues needs, trying to help out when I can, or just share laughs. But- and this is the But,, BUT AM I COOL.

No, being cool is not all of the above, being a cool person means to me (when you are content with who you are and what you beleive in, when you no longer feel that you have to prove yourself, and when i say that I mean prove yourself to yourself.- you are who you are and am proud of it) when you are confident that you are what you say you are, basically because that is who you really are, lol, it is complicated.

What do you think about the INTERCON Hotel

What do you think about the InterCon Hotel.
___________________________________________________________________
They refused me entrance to the reastaurant stating I was not wearing a collar. They rejected my spa membership saying that the Spa was full. They would not allow me and my friends into Paloma, saying we needed a girl each to get it. What is the deal. The Intercon is probably the worst looking hotel in Qatar, they have no reception, hardly a lobby- and the staff are so stuckup..........................whatever.................

Giving Up on Anger

Giving Up on Anger,

Anger seems to be more and more common in our society. Living in London all of my life, I have seen anger al over, in the streets, at school, college, in the papers and even on the tv. We read of (and experience) road rage. Wherever we go, we encounter angry people. This anger, more or less violent in expression, arising from real or imagined slights, offenses, misconduct, differences in people of other ages, races, sexes, modes of dress and the like, often appears baseless and is therefore more frightening. I certainly know that I have alot of anger, and for the most stupid reasons ever. I seem to just carry this heavyweight of mixed emotions around. Expressions of anger are more and more often misdirected, directed at people who have nothing whatever to do with the cause of the anger. I someties wonder where all this anger comes from. Our society here in Doha is experiencing major changes and I believe the stress which inevitably accompanies change is a major cause of anger. We can no longer rely on history to guide us; it seems that we must confront a different world every day! I had a friend who noted that we were always told as schoolchildren that the one thing nobody could ever take away from you is your education- now your legislature, your sponser(especially here in Qatar)- your employer, the rapid changes occurring in society can take away your education and unsettle everything you relied on to get you through each day.
Recently I find that I am often angry: I am angry at people who get in my way on the road, I am angry at co-workers who interfere with my progress, I am angry at women and men, young and old, neighbors and strangers.
As I get older, two solutions to my anger presente themselves. The first is that realization that anger only makes things worse, that my anger only hurts me. When a reaction only makes things worse, we need to change the reaction. The second is related to the first, the conscious effort to control my anger. I discovered that if I can control the expression of anger, the anger dissipated and that if the anger dissipated I can more easily deal with the problem that leads to my anger. By not giving in to my anger and joining in violent confrontations, I become less and less angry, to the point where I never get angry at all. And by giving up anger, I am finding that I can solve problems more easily, I have fewer problems to solve.
I wish I could give to everyone an inner voice, a voice which constantly repeats calm down, don't be angry, cool off, count to ten, bite your tongue or whatever words work to reduce anger. The lives of all of us who would otherwise be the target of anger would be better. Perhaps more importantly, the lives of the people who would otherwise be angry would be better......Omar just calm down, keep repeating it
