Hello dear friends, I have to be honest.  Valentine's Day is just like any other day to me. I don't expect gifts, flowers or chocolate and don't make any. However,  any other day in my life means unconditional love and affection to my dear and sweet family and friends. With that said,  I can't say no to a small slice of a beautiful heart shaped cake . Happy Valentine's Day!! Safaa

A friend of mine told me recently that most people who go to the library he works at spend most of their time in the computer area chatting on Facebook. While this isn't new information, it made me think about how our habits and lifestyle are changing... Any young and active person can hardly spend a day without checking his/ her Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn and Instagram accounts (to say the least). Have you ever calculated the amount of time you spend on each of these websites? Additionally you may have favorite apps you like to get on daily. Last week, I was at a conference and one of the speakers was proudly telling me that he receives between 200 and 300 emails a day. He added that just on the short lapse of time we talked he received 2 missed calls already. Honestly, I thought there was nothing to be really proud of...

While ages ago, only Kings could own, buy and rule the world, in today's world, everyone is a King. We say knowledge is power and I say it's true. Knowledge doesn't necessarily mean going to school and getting a PhD. Knowledge and education, in my opinion, is knowing that you can learn anything that you want, be anyone that you want to be, have anything you want to have and basically create and live the life you want.                           Today's biggest and top secrets of the world's richest, smartest and most fulfilled people are revealed. We can no longer ask: 'What did he do to become so successful?' or 'How does she make so much money?' We know every single habit of highly successful people - the information is available anywher...

2014 is here !! Every new year resonates with new resolutions and objectives. People always ask : ‘so what are your resolutions this year?’ Resolutions are a great way to push oneself toward the set goals . I personally have been very good at setting lists of resolutions every year. And throughout the year I would go back to them and re-evaluate, check the developments and try to motivate myself to stick to them. I have done this for years. I have indeed achieved some of the goals and failed at some others. In the real world, we see people going from one side to the other, working long hours, looking for bigger paychecks and bonuses, aiming for the latest car model, the latest smartphone, getting into debts for buying a big house and even for a family vacation…. The question that comes to my mind when I see all this is do their goals and achievements make them really happy? Is getting a loan for buying a bigger or more luxurious car contributes to inner happiness? ...
