Through travel I first became aware of the outside world; it was through travel that I found my own introspective way into becoming a part of it.

GOAL: To visit 6 countries by DECEMBER  18th, 2024

CURRENT STATUS: 0/6

hey reader, 
Goal setting is a powerful process for thinking about your ideal future, and for motivating yourself to turn your vision of this future into reality, and since I'm not from the kind of people that  feel as if they're adrift in the world. They work hard, but they don't seem to get anywhere worthwhile. so I like to spent enough time thinking about what I want from life...and here I'm setting a new goal of visiting 6 countries in the world, with the SMART mnemonic 

- A new label was created in the blog.
- Six countries must be chosen.
- Two backbags must be bought.
- Camera must be charged.

              Fouzia Must Be Ready 

                     I was born ready to do that

     The United Kingdom, England, Great Britain ? are these three the same place? are they different places ? Do British people secretly laugh those who use the terms wrongly ? who knows the answer to these questions? I do and I'm going to tell u right now.
    For the lost:this is the world, this is the European continent and this is the place we have to untangle. the area shown in purple is the United Kingdom. Part of the confusion is that the UK is not a single country but is instead a country of countries, it contains inside of it four co-equal and sovereign nations. The first of these is England-shown here is red. England is often confused with the UK as a whole because it's the largest and most populous of the nations and contains the capital city, London. to the north is Scotland, shown in blue and to the west is Wales, show is white. And often forgotten even by those who live in the UK, is Northern Ireland shown in Orange. Each country  has a local term for the population. While u can call them all British it's not recommended as the four countries generally don't like each other. The Northern Irish, Scottish and Welsh regard the English as slave-driving colonial masters --- no matter that all the three have their own devolved Parliaments and are allowed to vote on English laws despite the reverse not being true --  and the English generally regard the rest as rural yokels who spend too much time with their sheep. However, as the four constitent countries don't have their own passports, they are all British Citizens, like it or not, The are British Citizens of the UK whose full name by the way is the United Kingdom of great Britain and Northern Ireland.where is great Britain then ? Right here: the Rean covered in black is great Britain. Unlike England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Island, Great Britain is a geographical rather than a political term. Great Britain is the largest island among the British Isles. Within the United Kingdom, the term"Great Britain" is often used to refer to England, Scotland and Wales alone with the intentional exclusion of Northern Ireland. This is mostly, but not completely true, as all three constituent countries have islands that are not part of Great Britain such as the Isle of Wight, part of England, the Welsh, Isle of Anglesey and the Scottish Hebrides, The Shetland Islands, Orkney Islands, Islands of the Clyde.
     The second Biggest Island in the British Isles is Ireland, It is worth nothing that Ireland in not a country, like Great Britain, it is a geographical not a political term, The Island of Ireland contain on it two countries, Northern Ireland --  which we have already discussed -- and the republic of Ireland, when people say that they are Irish, they are referring to the Republic of Ireland which is separate country from the UK. However both Republic of Ireland and the UK are members of the European Union even though England often likes to pretend that it's an Island in the mid-Atlantic rather  than 50 KM off the cost of Franc. But that's a story for another time.

 PS: this is not my own article, it owns to Anand Prakash Anand and I came across to it while I was goggling... so happy reading 

 
     Just a moment ago, my friends posted in his Facebook page about his feeling toward Facebook website, and how much displeased he is about it , and that led me to try to write about it, I know that I'm shitty writer but I like to have my own full clear vision about a specific topic and I found talking about Social Network in general and Facebook in particular interesting enough, so to begin with I think I have to start with my 17 years old when I was allowed to have a first access to the Social Network...and I can tell that those little websites so psychologically powerful, that they don't even change what we do, they change who we are. Some of the things I do now with our devices- only a few years ago - I would have found it odd or disturbing, but they have quickly become to seem familiar, just how I do things.
      So neither I nor any one else can change the fact that Social Network has somehow
changed our lives, To the better Or the worst ? this question s answer depends on the self...Does this matters ? Of Course it does, we are setting up each other for trouble, trouble certainly in how we are relate to each other , but more trouble about how we are related to ourselves, for our capacity for our self-reflection, we are getting a new way of being alone together, people want to be with each other, but also elsewhere, connected to all the different places they want to be , they want to go in and out in places they want, because the thing that  matters most to them is control where they put they attention, but it can end up Hiding from each other.
        Texting, email, posting, blogging all of those things let us present the self as we wanted to be, we get to Edit and that means that we get to delete which means that we get to retouch. the face, the voice, the body not too little, ot too much just too right....human relationships are  rich and demanding and we just clean them up with technology.
       Personally, I prefer a real conversations, face to face because I just love to  look at how beautiful the smile drown in my friend's faces like the sun set clouds on fire rather then see some hhh , I like the real hugs and kisses rather than XOXO, I don't like to see ****is typing, i like to stare at the eyes of my beloved people, to read their eyes, some little Mega bites of Binary system can't do that even in video chatting, I like to hold my friends and my family's hands while talking to them, but.......exactly there will be always that BUT...
        We are being disturbed by many people in social network, I will take the case of Facebook, Facebook affords the option of Blocking people and if you can't block it because of some Protocols and etiquette there are an alternative way...put them in a category in which they don't see any activity you do, Facebook affords as I said of classifying your friend to "Close Friend", "People I don't want them" and so on.  you can give every category a specific features about how they can see you...which sometimes comes in handy...I mean all the time.
       So here you are dear readers in the end a quiz that you may wanna play; can you imagine yourself without social network life ? the place where you probably got to know a people who listen to you, cared about you, who made an impact in your life and became part of it, and by your absence you would make them anxious and worry about how and where you are ?  they can do other efforts in order to reach you and solve the puzzle of a disappearance? do they deserve to be hurt by you ? if yes then delete your database from Social Network...Just do it
