An end of an era

Hello

It's been a long week, marking the closing of the working year for me, it was a long year that contained so much of stress and work, i even missed my family the most during it, i have a feeling that i've changed a lot, i barely know myself now, the workaholism has changed me, or maybe stabilized me into work and productivity, that lead to me ignoring the fun parts of the year and all of the happy moments that was in it.

I've learnt a lot during it, starting with learning that LIFE IS NOT FAIR, if you want to get something you should shout with the loudest voice you have, you have to ask for it, because people won't notice that you needed it until you do that, even the people you used to think they are close to you won't notice or will just ignore it if you didn't ask for it.

It's easy to get credit for the other's work, don't do it, this mean you don't have work yourself, don't underestimate the other's minds, they are as just brilliant and you think you're, they will get you and find that you're doing that, you'll create more enemies, and it's just bad to steal other's work just because you want the credit, people have spent months in order to get and create this credit that you're trying to steal without even paying an effort trying to understand what you're stealing, this happen to me a lot during the past year, in the first couple times i ignored it, but i started to point it out after the repetitive incidents.

Don't mix emotions and work, but don't lose your human touch as well, the entire industry wants us to spend more time thinking about the career that we are developing than our lives, they want us to think for them 24 hours 8 days a week, they are consuming our minds trying to get the most out of them, you'll end up by a mind thinking for the employers more than thinking of the goal or the reason that we have jobs for, if something happen to you, calm down first, don't rush, wait, and then take a decision about this thing, check if it effects you or not, prioritize it with your goals map, and walk toward it without hesitations. I've seen people losing their mind while working, saw couple of people even crying for this point.

I think thats enough for now, i wanted to tell you that i really like the idea of getting back to blogging once again, and it's always a relief that people actually read what we are writing on the internet without sending the link to them.

Thanks for reading, have a good life.  

One more title

Dear Strangers of the internet,

Here we go... one more time, i am back to writing, back to the moment where i do share some of my feelings and thoughts with you guys, sharing them with my favourite kind of strangers; the internet strangers who actually read and comment and participate in the conversation that takes years and years of writing and replying to each other.

Who am i?

My name is Bara, just a normal ordinary guy who lives in Jordan, i have some hobbies but writing is by far my most favourite hobby, i find it amusing yet interesting that we can share our thoughts with millions of millions of people while sitting in a cafe from a remote area, this thought of being at millions of places at the same time, this is something we are lucky or doomed to have in this age, i would describe myself lucky in life, as i have friends and loving family around me and support me doing whatever.

I used to write on way too many different topics, such as politics, technology and humans related topics, and i am creating this blog with no intentions to start writing about a topic in specific, i'll write what i feel like writing whenever i feel like it, i am also looking to enhance my writing in english, as i used to write a lot only in Arabic, and i got a good feedback back then, so i hope the english goes good as well.

I work as a software engineer, at an international company, i love my work, as it contains complexity and authenticity in finding solutions and writing solid documents describing these solutions, i love the idea of dealing with numbers on daily basis, i am not an expert though...but i like opportunity and space for me to learn everyday.

This blog is created in a time, i am stressed, tired and somehow depressed, so i am not starting in my best mode ever, this will surly have an effect on the way i am writing in and the topics i am writing about, bare with me and be patient.

oh! one more thing.. i like to take photos from time to time, as i feel capturing the moment is important to document moments when words are unable to express them meaningfully.


Best Regards,
Bara
