“Power is the ability to do good things for others”

Dear all, What do you think about voluntary work? Some might think it’s a waste of time; others may simply be uninterested in helping others.

I believe that we all receive a lot from the community we live in, and no matter what it is we do, all we’d be giving back is a small portion of what it had given us … There is a Quote that says: “Never hesitate to give, even if it wasn’t a lot, because giving nothing is less than that …”

I believe that only a life lived for others is worth living… If you are interested in voluntary work and social activities, such as participating in organizing social events and programs, then feel free to send me an email on Ahmedwingy@hotmail.com…. And please keep this in mind: “The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose”

In the end … I am only one person; but still I am doing something. I cannot do everything, yet I will not refuse to do whatever it is I can do… that’s my philosophy in life…

Thanks …

Best Regards,

A.J. Wingy

“Find Your Voice and help others to find theirs “that’s what Mr. Covey named his 8^th habit, as he said it’s the key that’ll take you from effectiveness to greatness… Earlier someone was asking me what is my dream, I didn’t want to say it , but I don’t know why I didn’t say it this way , my dream has two parts , the main part is to find my voice , and the little part of my dream is help others to find their voices … When I read stories or watch movies, they always tell us a great story that the movie guy fights to reach his dream and by the end of the movie he reaches it , no matter what . For me , I always fight for my dream if it’s an idea for a project, program, design, article, concept or an object. But if this was a friend that doesn’t want my friendship?! Someone doesn’t want my love? Someone doesn’t want my help? Doesn’t want my care!!!!Sorry stories, movies, dreaming people, I disagree with you, I can’t do it like you, not me, just not me , I can’t fight for this … and you know this my problem with the biggest part of my dream, the part “TO FIND YOUR VOICE”, I might be so silly , but I found my voice with someone else, and this someone else goes under one of the titles that I can’t fight for , so what’s left for me is the little small part from my dream, “Help Others To Find Their Voices”. Since that’s what’s left for me, all my time is for it, it’s all for it , I hope I do it well. And what I’d like to say here, that yea I might be wrong regarding not fighting for my dream, but May God have mercy on my grandma, she used to tell me “you can’t make people change their feelings, unless they want to” and she was always right … I love you grandma….

Full.. But .. Empty

In one of my sessions few weeks ago, I was talking to the students about that old psychological issue; the water in the cup, and that difficult question, is the cup half full, or half empty?!!
That day in my way back, I was thinking about my self in the past 8 months; I have done so much work, and really great achievements that am really proud of, but when I gave it a second thought, I was wounding why I have done all of that?! I love working, so true… But, is that the only reason?!
No, the reason was that thing I faced; yes it was that thing… I was just trying to avoid thinking about it, I had 8 months with no breaks, 8 months with university, part time job, then establishing my own program, then the long conference in between Dubai -Doha- Abu Dhabi-Dubai, and finally the youth conference in Bahrain, and now working on this new project… It was all just so I don’t think about it? But with all that it was all the time in my mind, and it was growing day by day, although it was growing with no hopes.
The point why I connected between the glass story and ma life is this, my life was full of achievements, but yet it was empty, I was so empty… Full of feelings and hopes, but I had no hopes …I just don’t know how to describe this; I was never good in describing things related to my self.
After 8 months, couple of weeks ago, I felt really that I could overcome that emptiness I had in my self? but another empty space was created in me, I ran away from a wish to get into another , running again in an empty circle , where I can get in , but I can’t see any open door to get out? Before those two weeks, I was in a jail of a person that doesn’t want me inside or outside the jail..! I guess now am in the same jail, just change the titles?
Where am taking my self to, and what’s next?
It’s funny, I teach students how to analyze and understand things, while I can’t understand my self!!!!
I need to be somewhere but jail, with some one that wants me in, and in an open circle, where I can get in or out, but that’s a wish.
For the time being, I’m like that cup… Full, But Empty…
