How to live your life ?



كيف تعيش حياتك ؟

How to live your life ?

في الحقيقه معظمنا بيسال نفسه السؤال ده, يا ترى ازاي اعيش حياتي بطريقه طبيعيه يرضى بيها عن نفسه و يصبح من خلالها فرد "طبيعي" على حد مفهوم المجتمع لما هو طبيعي.

As a matter of fact, we all ask ourselves the same question; ‘’am I living my life in a normal way? How can I achieve being normal in a way that satisfies myself and the society having the general concept of being ‘’normal’’?’’

90% من اللي قروا السطر اللي فات فعلا مش عارفين يعيشوا حياتهم بشكل طبيعي بسبب منغص او اخر . عائق او اخر ..

I honestly believe that 90% of people who read the above really have no clue about how to live their lives normally as a result of having an agony of some sort of, a handicap of some sort…

شغلك متعب ,حياتك روتينيه, ولادك قرود مش بيسمعوا الكلام, مشغول دايما, او ابوك مسيطر على حياتك......الخ

May be your life is a mess; you have a hard job, your life is boring, you have little devils for kids who don’t listen to you, always busy, your dad controls your life….. etc

بس اللي انا كاتب المقال ده عشانهم هما الناس اللي بتواجه عائق حقيقي ملموس لا يختلف عليه اتنين . هم اصحاب الاعاقه الحركيه اللي انا واحد منهم و الحمد لله ربنا انعم علي بالعلم و التجربه الكافيه اني اعرف اعيش حياتي بشكل مقبول من حيث تحديات الحركه و الاهم تحديات العقل و الفكر الانهزامي الاسود اللي اكيد زار كل واحد فينا و لو مره و عشش في دماغ ناس و صدقوني لا يوجد ما نخجل منه الاحساس بالياس طبيعي و هو طبيعه انسانيه و الا مكنوش سموه احساس , كانوا سموه زفت لو كان عيب.

However my article only concerns those who have real tangible disadvantage, those like myself who face physical hardships, determined to live life to the fullest with their challenges both physically and most important, mentally. Challenges of the mind are the hardest of them all. They make you decide if you want to live or not to begin with and all of us have been visited by dark black thoughts at some point and they ended up living with many of us. Believe me when I tell you that there’s nothing to be ashamed of!! It’s normal to feel despair at some point in your life and it’s a human nature, that is why they call it feeling and not crap for example if it is something to be ashamed of.

العيب بقى انا يصبح الاحساس سيد تفكيرك و المتحكم في قراراتك و دي حاجه في ايدك, ربنا بيقول "لا يكلف الله نفسا الا وسعها" طبعا الكلام في الاول ممكن يترد عليه باساله كتير, يعني هو لازم ابقى قوي عشان ابقى موجود في الدنيا؟

The shame is to let this dark feeling become the master of your thoughts and the controller of your decisions. This is fortunately something you can change as god tells us ‘’ god gives challenges to those who are mach for it’’ and of course this raises a lot of questions, one of them could be: do I have to be invincible to survive in this life?

لا العكس هو الصحيح انت مخلوق كده او ظروفك جت كده لانك اقوى الف مره من اللي حواليك و ربنا عارف ان الموضوع بالنسبه لك مش مستحيل و هاثبت لك صحه كلامي في مقالاتي ....لا بحاجه صغيره جدا , فاكر زمان و انت صغير قبل الاكتئاب و الحزن لما كنت لسه صغير بتشوف حد بيعل حاجه معينه زي غنى او تمثيل او عزف اله موسيقيه ؟ و كنت بتحس انك تقدر تعمل زيه بسهوله ؟ الاحساس ده مش اي كلام دي طاقه نفسيه جباره موجوده باخلك بالفطره و لو سيبتها تطلع فعلا هاتفاجيء نفسك بالنتائج بس تحديات الدنيا بتخلي الواحد ينساها و يركز على انه يعرف يعيش حياته الاول. ربنا اللي خلقك عارف انك جواك الطاقه دي و انا عارف ان جواك الطاقه دي عشان انا زيك حاسس باللي انت حاسس بيه. انت عايز تهيا لنفسك الظروف المناسبه بس و الطاقه دي هتطلع لوحدها.

Actually the opposite is true, you are created like that because you are a thousand times stronger than the ones around you, and your creator knows that the impossible to you is nothing, and I will prove it to you as I write on through my experience …….. actually , here’s a little something for you to consider right now. Remember when you were a child, before feeling sad or sorry for yourself, when you see someone with a talent such as acting, singing or playing an instrument. And you felt you can easily do the same thing? This feeling is not just that, it’s the enormous energy inside you trying to break out and if you let it out, you will surprise yourself of the results. Only life challenges and being so concerned about the idea of being normal makes you forget about that energy. Your creator know you have it inside you, and I know you have it inside you because I’m like you, I have been through the same. You only need make the conditions right mentally speaking, and this energy will burst out like supernova.

الالم النفسي هو عدوك رقم واحد:

Psychological pain, your enemy number one:

طبعا الواحد مننا ممكن يقعد في البيت ميخرجش سنه و مايضايقش لكن الفكر و الضيق بسببوا الم لا يحتمله بشر . حاسس ان الدنيا بتفوتك و انت قاعد تتفرج عليها. اصحابك رايحين جايين عملوا معرفش ايه النهارده و انت قاعد زي منتا لا شفت ولا جربت حاجه, قلقان عايز تشتغل قبل ما تحتاج لحد, فاكر ان عمرك ما هتتجوز او تلاقي شريك حياتك. و الله كلها احاسيس طبيعيه و عايز اقولك ان الناس كلها بتفكر في نفس المشاكل دي بس محدش بيقول.... انت بس اللي عندك الشجاعه انك تعبر عن تفكيرك و تواجه مخاوفك , لكن للاسف الاحاسيس دي معانا بتصبح قويه لانها متتاليه و حتميه و متتابعه.

Of course we could stand staying indoors for a year and enjoy it too. but those dark thoughts going through your head can cause you pain that no human can endure. You feel as if though life passes you by, and you only sit and watch as it does. Your friends go out and did this and that today, and you just sit still, haven’t tried or seen anything. You are so worried working before you need someone’s help, thinking you will never find your soul mate or get married. Ask any of your friends and you will find out that everybody is worried about the same thing but not many people are frank about their insecurities so no one says so. Only you have the courage to face your insecurities and express yourself, so that’s one thing to feel very “normal” about!! But unfortunately these feelings becomes very hard with us because they come inevitable, consecutive and in variety.

متتاليه يعني ورا بعض و تقريبا بتيجي زي الكوكتيل كلها في وقت واحد لان المشاكل مترتبه على بعض , حتميه لان مفيش منها مفر هاتجيلك هاتجيلك و هتبقى لوحدك في خلالها لا حد زيك ولا حد حاسس بيك, ممكن الناس تتعاطف بس محدش فاهم بالظبط انت بتمر بايه و متتابعه يعني مفيش بين كل وجع و التاني تحسن او حاجه كويسه بتخليك تحسن انك من سيء الى اسوا و كل ده بيوجعك بسبب ان ليها نفس المنبع و السبب الا و هو اعاقتك يعني كينوتك يعني انت بمعنى اصح ... بس حاسب كل ده غلط انت مش وحش ولا ربنا بيكرهك انت بس عايز تلاقي طريقك الصح عشان تقدر تخدم نفسك و تعيش بشكل طبيعي في البيت و تشتغل و تحس بقيمه نفسك اللي هي كبيره اصلا في نظر الناس كلها لكن انت مش واخد بالك .....

Inevitable means it’s bound to happen sooner or later, and consecutive because you don’t get a break between one bad feeling and another, and most of the time they cause one another ( for example you feel sad being alone most of the time, then because you are alone most of the time you feel different and alienated) thus come in variety.

Through them you will be on your own, no one is like you and no one feels your pain. People can be sympathetic but no one can really understand what you are going through. Of course we hate this pain, not only because it hurts so much also because it all leads to only one source which is always your disability which is a part of you , then you end up feeling less about yourself.

No but wait a second, this is totally wrong, you are not rotten and god doesn’t hate you!! You only need to find the right way to help yourself around the house, maybe start working too, then you will realize the true value of yourself which is already big and people around you see how strong you are but you don’t realize that just yet.

بره في مدارس متخصصه لتعليم المعاقين و مساعدتهم انهم يعيشوا حياتهم بنفسهم لكن هنا للاسف لا يوجد توعيه ولا تعليم في الجهه دي , انا انتظرت سنين ان حد يعلمني او يقولي الصح عشان اعمله ملقتش و لقيت طريقي بنفسي فقررت اني انقل خبرتي و اللي اتعلمته لعل و عسى يوفقني الله في مساعده اخ او اخت لي في احتياج للنصيحه و ارجوا كل من يقرا كلماتي و عنده الخبره في تحديات الاعاقه نتعاون على الخير باذن الله.

In Europe they have special schools to teach disabled children to tend to their own needs and function well in the society. Unfortunately we don’t get that kind of awareness and teaching here , so I waited for years for someone to teach me what to do, but somewhere along the way I found my own way, so I decided to write about my experience , maybe my writings will find a brother or a sister in need of those advises and give them the help they need. also If you read my words and you have any experience, you are most welcomed it to share with us

في فيلسوف قال زمان انك لو لم تعترف بالمشكله لن تستطيع حلها .... راجل بيفهم لانك لو مش شايف سبب المشكله بجد مش هتعرف تحلها لانها مش هتبقى موجوده من الاساس ...لابسه طاقيه الاخفا و عماله تلطش فيك و مفيش حد يقدر يتعامل مع حاجه هو مش شايفها فلازم تعرف السبب ورا كل مشكله هتقابلك لو كنت عايز فعلا تحلها و انا عارف انك عايز تعمل كده.

A wise man once said “if you don’t admit you have a problem, you will never be able to solve it” ….. that’s really one wise guy, I too believe that if you don’t see the problem then you can’t fight it because then it won’t exist. Except in this case its only invisible, it keeps hitting you and you can do nothing about it if you don’t see it. So you need to find the root of every problem you are facing if you really need to fight it, and I know for a fact that you want to.

عشان كده اول حاجه لازم تعملها انك تعترف انك معاق "ايوه انا مش فاكرك شايف الدنيا خضرة ولا انت عبيط انا عارف انك عارف انك معاق" انا اقصد لا تخجل في تسميه نفسك معاق او التحدث مع الناس عن اعاقتك لانها جزء منك و لازم اللي حواليك يتقبلوها . يعني مفيش حاجه اسمها رجليه بتوجعه ولا مبتعرفش تقف ولا ايدك ضعيفه....... لا انا معاق و الكلمه في حد ذاتها ليها معنى مش شتيمه يعني هناك شيء يعوقك عن فعل ما تريد و اذا كان هناك اعاقه فهناك حل لتخطيها و التغلب عليها يعني مش مستحيل و الا كانوا سموها استحاله ... الحجر في وسط الطريق اعاقه للسيارات فهل الحل المنطقي هو الوقوف وراء الحجر انظر للطريق المفتوح بعده؟ ولا افكر ازاي اشيله و اكمل طريقي؟ انا شايف انك تحاول تنزل من العربيه و تحاول تشيل الحجر و لو ماقدرتش تاجر لودر تشيله بيه . و انت ايه اخبارك؟ عايز تشيل الحجر الذي يعوق طريق حياتك؟

That’s why the first thing you need to do is to realize that you are handicapped, yes I know you know the word and you feel it too. I mean don’t be ashamed of calling yourself that, or talking with people about your handicap, because it is a part of you and people around you must learn to accept you the way you are. So you can’t call it anything else because the word itself is not a bad word, it actually has a meaning; it means an obstruction in your way of doing whatever you want to do, and because it’s an obstruction, there is always a way to overcome it. So it is not impossible, otherwise they would call it “impossibility”.

Think about it, a rock in the middle of the road is and obstruction, disability, handicap to cars. What is the logical thing to do here? Do you stand behind the rock wishing you were on your way to the open road? Or somehow think of a way to remove it off the road? I think my solution would be, getting out of the car and try to remove it, and if I can’t do it, I just bring a tool!! So what about you? Do you want to remove the rock that obstructs the road of living your life?

حاجه تانيه لازم تعرفها كويس, انك شئت ام ابيت محدود الحركه بشكل او باخرلازم تعرف حدودك في الحركه كويس و الحكايه دي هتساعدك انك تفكر ازاي هتقوم بالاعمال البسيطه مثال الغسيل او كنس الارضيه او حتى اعداد الطعام لنفسك و كل ذلك ساتطرق في مقالات قادمه باذن الله

One more thing need to acknowledge very well, like it or not you have movement limitations one way or another. So you have to know your limitations, this will help you to think about how will be able to do simple household activities such as laundry, cleaning the floors or even cook for yourself, and we will go through all that in the upcoming articles, with god’s welling.

تقبلوا تحياتي و اشوفكم على خير

My best regards until we meet again

Egypt fishermen escape pirates

CAIRO - THIRTY-FOUR Egyptian fishermen who were held hostage by Somali pirates for four months were headed home on Sunday with eight of their former captors held captive in their boats' refrigerated holds.

'The fishermen are expected to dock in the port of Ataka by the Suez canal on Thursday along with eight of the Somali pirates,' the Red Sea director of the Egyptian fishermen's trade union Bakri Abul Hassan told AFP.

The fishermen, who made their escape last Thursday, overpowered their captors thanks to 'secret plan drawn up by the Egyptian authorities,' he added.

wner of one of the boats, Hassan Khalil, travelled to the breakaway Somali province of Puntland to engage the services of a Yemeni who used to run the office of Somali former president Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed who was given asylum in Yemen earlier this year after stepping down in December, it added.

When the clansmen attacked on Thursday, the fishermen were able to overpower their captors and detain eight of them in holds of the two boats.

The independent Al-Masri Al-Yom daily quoted one of the fishermen, Abdullah Mohammed Amin, as saying that the pirates had believed that they were about to receive the first half of a promised 800,000 dollar ransom payment.

Khalil had turned up with the money but in fact it was intended as payment for his armed escort to turn on the pirates, the paper said.

Two of the pirates were killed, it added.

Attacks by pirates rose sharply in the first half of this year despite the deployment of anti-piracy patrols by an array of navies from around the world. Shipping companies have expressed concern that attacks may increase again in the coming weeks as the monsoon eases.
