“ To thy own self be true”
The obvious answer to the question is that I am Ali, a webdeveloper. But of course, that does not truly answer who I am as a person. The answer to that question cannot be found on a birth certificate or driver's license, but rather only in the heart and sole of a person.
I got my first job in a Retail Company when I was 18 years old. I never had any financial problems and I used to be okay in studies aswell. But, I wasn't very happy as a person. What I mean by that is not that I used to sit around and cry a lot; I didn't. But there was something not quite right and whatever that was was making me miserable and angry as a general state of being, and all the time. It was then that I started reading books about personality development. I read them just for the sake of reading never gave much attention to them. Day by day I was getting more and more depressed and confused because I was’nt able to figure out the reason behind my sadness. There was a time when I felt like my brain’s a pressure cooker, ready to explode. At that moment I asked myself Okay mate! What do you really want in your life?
Now, I’ve come to the conclusion that you should never, never giveup and always give yourself a second chance. We may fail sometimes but it absolutely does not mean that we will fail very time. Thomas Edison, one of the most famous inventors in the 20th Century, tried more than one thousand times before he found out that tungsten was the right material for the electric bulb, and so as most of the great scientists in many fields. There is some good in the world that worth fighting for.”Never,never give up” is always the secret to success.
I am a person who likes to travel. I think traveling is a great opportunity to meet new people, gain more knowledge and experience, learn new customs and traditions. I did not travel a lot yet, but I am sure I will have a chance to do it. So, if I had the opportunity to visit a foreign country for holidays I would visit Egypt. I think it is a great and very interesting country with marvellous history. Living in one place all your life may seem very convenient. For my part, I am inclined to believe that not everyone is born in the place that is best for him/her, and thus one should take the chance and move to a place that is more suitable. For me atleast, in this particular time of my development I find it better to stay in a place for a while, and then move on to another place.
Best thing to do, in my opinion, is travel all around the world, see as many places and cultures, make friends, but keep a special place to return to, even if this place not the one where you were born.
I choose to enjoy the money I earn instead of saving it for some time in the future. I believe life is a process of consuming and we are growing old day after day. So why not take advantage of being young to enjoy yourself fully, deeply and truly with money. Which hreally can give you many things although we say that money cannot buy all?:)
No one would deny that we are all in pursuit of happiness and this happiness should belong to today but not tomorrow. Imagine a person, who saves all he can in the hope of living better in his later life or making use of the money when necessary, suddenly dies from a traffic accident one morning, leaving all his savings without enjoying a pit of them.
I believe that everyone is strongly connected with his past even when he does not comprehend it thoroughly sometimes. Our life is a result of a series of events from our past. Our success today is consequence of hard work in the past. Our present failure is maybe a result of not taking our chances in time or not making a proper decision in the past. I truly believe that everyone makes his own destiny and fate has nothing to do with it.
