The Power Of The Ns

“Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire” (Confucius)

Tears were swelling in my eyes and my day couldn’t get any worse. There were just too many problems, even though they were easy to solve but there were just too many in one day. Then my friend showed up and she saw me tired and frustrated, she smiled and looked me in the eyes and said ” I was going to give you something later but you seem to need it more now. Close your eyes and open your hands” and so I did.

My hands weren’t light anymore, and when I opened my eyes I found this huge box of chocolate galaxy jewels. I asked her amazed why she bought them for me and she said ” When you passed your second level spanish exam, I thought I would get you this gift as to celebrate. when I saw you now I thought this will cheer you up a little, and by the way you look horrible.” I laughed and almost cried but since I am not sentimental I didn’t. It wasn’t a box of jewels that cheered me up but my jewel, my friend salma.

WHAT I WANT TO SAY IS THANK YOU VERY MUCH THIS IS ONE OF THOSE DAYS THAT I’LL NEVER FORGET.

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE WORD OPEN-MINDED? in your opinion

“Always smile to people, it’s rude to simply look at them,” my mom would say, but as usual I would ask my favorite question why? She would answer with a smile on her face and say, “ Honey, it gives them hope”. Ever since then, whenever someone looks at me or vice versa, I would smile and nod, and when they react by smiling I would get this feeling that I had done something truly great. Then why the grumpy face?

When people used to walk down the streets they would smile and greet each other warmly, but now everything has changed. People no longer greet or smile to each other. Nowadays, people are distracted in their problems that they don’t even have the time to raise their heads and smile. Such a simple gesture has become so hard; everyone seems to have forgotten the simple meaning of happiness.

What would it take to get people to smile? Is giving a grumpy face the answer or the solution? But the main question is why do people and you give the grumpy face?
“ People are grumpy because there is no money, expensive life, people are working two jobs, and they have a nagging wife and children. People have no time to smile, they are all busy into their world, but as for me I no longer care I only thank God for what he gave me and my family,” said a 44-year old driver called Mohamed.
Sherif Ali a 26-year-old security engineer in a communication company said “ people give the grumpy face because of the stressful life and I no longer smile because most of the time I am upset and I feel that I am in an eternal race where I don’t win”
“ The public is on a lot of stress, people can no longer get their simplest needs just as the bread queue, even the 1000 pounds nowadays are not enough for people’s needs. I no longer smile because long ago I would make a lot of effort to improve my financial status, but now the effort is simply for making sure that I can eat tomorrow,” said a 36-year-old Mohamed Abd El-Wadod.

In most of the answers I got from people was because they were unhappy either from financial problems or from the stressful life. Even the young men who have just graduated from college are grumpy; they can’t find jobs or marry the girl they love. Those young 21-year-old men are just about to start their lives and they have already started nagging. What is this? Again, people simply give up at such a young age, not knowing that there are worst scenarios going on around them, not knowing that there are people living their lives wishing for food that they can’t afford, and wishing to live in homes like normal people but instead they live on the street.

What is this? So many grumpy and sad people for something that is not worth it; it is tiring and a pain in the neck but is it worth all of this unhappiness, and is it worth wasting one of, maybe, your valuable days. I understand that people have certain obligations, which I will never understand, but maybe it is time that you accept what you have, without forgetting your dreams. Pursue your dream and at the same time be thankful with what you already have, and hold on to it.

This is life, accept it and don’t give up for there is always hope, but maybe we should start supporting each other and be optimistic rather than pessimistic, start accepting and fighting rather than sitting around and nagging, and start looking at the positives rather than at the negatives. Make a difference, even if it so small but at least you will be satisfied with yourself and you will know how great the feeling is. I bet that when people read this article, most of them would laugh and say “this naïve 17 year old girl doesn’t know what this world is filled with” but my answer would be “ maybe I am naïve, young, and inexperienced, but this is how I view the world and how people should be. Smiling might be something stupid but to me it is not, to me and maybe to others it is something truly big, truthful, and filled with meaning. Smiling is like giving people hope even if it were false at least it is better than nothing.”  Stop being grumpy and start smiling to others, enjoy your life when you still can and be thankful to what you already have because the clock is ticking.
