No matter how hard we try, we will never know when or how THE END will be.
Our blog is to help you to live your own story, because we are sure your stories can change someone's LIFE. Follow your dream, and believe you CAN is always something easy to tell. But the secret is in the next two steps: Decide you WILL, and DO it.

Life is too short!
As a child, you had a lot of Dreams. As a teenager, you filtered your Dreams, and you believed you could reach them. After university, you become more realistic, and most of your Dreams faded to be just ideas in your memory.
You may got married and had a family. You work all day and return tired to your home. You see your parents once a week or once a month. Your kids grow while you are trying to improve your lifestyle. You are getting old.
Life is too short, and this is not your dream. This is not the life that you designed! But what can you do? You cannot change anything; you need money to pay your loans. You need money to send your kids to school, do activities. You need money to buy food, to see a doctor, to have a car and get some fuel. No more room for dreams, wake up, it is your short life passing in front of your eyes; you cannot change anything, stop dreaming now, and start living.
Yes, start living, design your own life, and believe in GOD, who said: Look to these flowers look to the birds how GOD feeds and colors them. So why don’t you trust GOD? GOD can send you food, and GOD can send you what to wear. GOD will not leave you alone. But never think GOD will send you money while you are sleeping and dreaming only?
Dear “You,” wake up and live your dream every day. Be happy calling and seeing your parents, friends, enjoy your marriage, and love your kids. Be happy eating together and having fun together. Every day is a new gift to you, a new opportunity, a new dream coming true.
Put what matters first!
Give more space and time to your life as you want it, not as you have been told that life looks like. You need money, and this is true. But don’t spend today’s time only chasing money because tomorrow you will spend this money to buy some time.
Wait a second! Do you know how many days you still have?
Dear “You,” life is too short; it is always forward, no replay, no pause or backward. In the end, your life will end. And what will be left is a memory in the mind of people who met you.
Master your best, and drop the rest…
Every day in my life, every step in my career path, I used to tell myself the following message, and today I will share it with YOU:
Dear YOU,
Are YOU a student? A fresh graduate? Are YOU a junior or senior employee searching for a better LIFE? Are YOU struggling because of NO JOB? Are YOU trying to open a NEW BUSINESS?
Listen to me: YOU deserve a GREAT OPPORTUNITY. Yes, I am not kidding.
Whatever your profession is, whatever your skills are, whatever your title is, my advice to YOU: SHOW it, don’t TELL it!
Instead of just write your CV, build Your Portfolio. It is never too late; Start Today.
And always remember:
– YOU don’t KNOW everything, so KEEP LEARNING.
– YOU are not always right or always wrong, so KEEP SEARCHING.
– YOU can always earn new SKILLS, so KEEP PRACTICING.
– Be supportive, be kind, be honest, and always: “Do the right things even while no one is watching.”
Have you ever asked yourself what if your dream is not really your dream?
Perhaps, you have many ideas and goals, and you focus on achieving them. A lot of these ideas are what others push you to think and believe. These are not your real dreams!
So how to differentiate between real and fake dreams?
Your real dream will synchronize your heart and brain.
Your real one will let your brain feels, and your heart understands. Your real dream will keeps pop-up every day and night until you follow it. Even when you fail, you will find a new way and try again.
Never stop dreaming but always evaluate your dream.

Every time you fail, you tell yourself the biggest lie: 𝗕𝗔𝗗 𝗟𝗨𝗖𝗞.
And the day you succeed, people tell you another lie: 𝗚𝗢𝗢𝗗 𝗟𝗨𝗖𝗞.
When you are blocked and struggling, your failure & success are not matters of luck, but a matter of choice.
Take a minute, check your life, and imagine your dream: Now, make your decision and walk your path.
For me:

Dear friends,
Many times we forget an essential part of our EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION.
It is not ONLY about our WORDS or WHAT we are saying. It is about HOW and WHY we are SAYING or WRITING our message. Besides, HOW people HEAR or READ it.
You 𝗗𝗢𝗡’𝗧 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪 how blessed you are.
Or
𝗬𝗢𝗨 don’t know how 𝗕𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗗 you are.
Also, please remember, every time you need to say or write something, use the triple filters test of Socrates: Is it 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗘, 𝗚𝗢𝗢𝗗, and 𝗨𝗦𝗘𝗙𝗨𝗟?
I wish you all a Great Journey.

Every time you search for a job, you want to start a business, you set a new GOAL, or simply you have a DREAM, ask yourself this question:
Imagine you can’t swim, and you are standing on the other side of your DREAM Island , what would you DO?
Do you skip your dream to reach the Island? Or you follow it?
– “Killing motivation” will push you to start swimming because you CAN DO IT!
– “Motivation” will push you to search for a solution, make a plan, and prepare what you need to reach the island because you CAN DO IT!
Have a wonderful new week, keep going, and follow your DREAM…
Remember you CAN DO IT… But don’t listen to your KILLING MOTIVATION.
My friend,
The world we are living in is continually changing.
What I will tell you today has nothing to do with a specific platform or specific technology.
Everything can become absolute and easily replaced by a new one.
Build your portfolio, build it today, build it to apply for a new job, advance your career, or start a new business. Build it to track your improvement. Just build it because no one knows “YOU” better than “YOU.”
Use today’s technologies and platforms wisely.
Don’t be fooled by fake life on social media. Don’t be a part of the fighting and negativity. But don’t underestimate the power of new technologies. I made these mistakes for years .
Choose your specific tools, and start building your portfolio. Ask yourself who you really are? What you want to do, and why?
Master Your Best:
Believe you CAN, decide you WILL, and DO it.
My friend,
I have an idea! No, no, in fact, I have millions of ideas! Every day our brain generates a lot of ideas.
But do you know what is missing?
It is our action.
Do you know why we don’t even try one of our ideas? You say it: It is because of our fear!
Fear of failure!
Fear of what others will say!
Fear, Fear, Fear…
So for your next 2-3 weeks, choose one idea, just one and try it.
Don’t expect to succeed from the first time. But do it, check your limits, and discover your weaknesses.
Because if you don’t try, you will never be closer to your goal.
Just try! No matter what you expect…
Try, try, and try…
Learn, improve, update…
My friend,
Your dream is your challenge.
You must take this challenge no matter what people said to you, no matter how big and impossible your dream looks.
Believe in your heart, plan in your mind, and do your best every single day.
Don’t give up! I mean, never give up.
It is your dream, you know you can achieve your goals, find and walk your journey. Never walk someone else path; you have yours. Search and try, even when you feel lost.
One day you will discover how life prepared and trained you for your opportunities. Bad days are great lessons, and good days are perfect support for your long journey.
Always, remember you have only two choices:
A- Just do nothing; it is impossible.
B- Just do it; nothing is impossible.
The decision is yours.
Life starts when we born and ends when we die, right?
Wrong! Life is before us and will continue after our death.
We are only trying to find our path in this giant labyrinth!
Take a moment here and ask yourself how many times you faced a dead-end before? I am sure a lot, right?
Have YOU ever stopped?
Never, ever, stop!
You know WHY?
Because there is someone who counts on YOU.
Maybe your wife/husband and kids.
Maybe your parents.
Maybe your friends, team, employees, clients, partners…
Maybe your community…
But YOU need only yourself to decide to stand up and continue.
Remember, YOU are not alone! The people who count on YOU, you are relying on THEM too .
LIFE is a labyrinth, but we are never alone.
Stay Safe, because together we can pass this situation
Dear Parents,
You are the role model for your kids. In fact, you are their Superhero. So, you are #1 for your family, whatever your professions and titles are.
No matter how many connections you have.
No matter how much money you earn and have.
No matter how many hours you work daily.
Your family always needs you! Because what really matters is your quality time with them.
Remember to be present physically and mentally with them.
Life is too short, always put what matters first.
Enjoy your life.
Are you making this mistake?
When we were kids, our parents always said to us: “YOU CAN DO IT.” And today, we tell our kids the same. But… Be careful!
Sometimes we negatively influence them, by comparing:
“(XYZ) did it, and YOU CAN DO IT too. You can be better…”
Stop doing this! STOP STOP STOP
1- Start by teaching them to ask the famous “WHY”: “Why I want to do this?”
2- Tell them to try, and let the kids figure the difficulties and the solutions. Let them discover their weaknesses and limitations. It is healthy.
3- Be always present to provide your support by pushing them to LEARN more and to KEEP practicing and trying. Not by delivering the solution.
Please Remember:
A- It is about the progress they do.
B- It is about the “WHY” behind what they do.
C- It is about being better than themselves and not someone else.
“Today’s KIDS are tomorrow’s LEADERS.”
Be great parents
Are you a teenager? Do you believe in your power and assume the school is your limitation? Read this please:
When I was sixteen, I hated school. I hated the daily routines. No challenges, and no purpose in studying English, French, History, Geography, or even Philosophy, I want to be an engineer, why I need all these unnecessary topics?
My teachers and parents told me: “One day, you will understand.” And my reply was: “Understand what? I want to live as per my goals, not yours.”
One evening, my Dad told me: “My son, everything is essential for your future. Studying is not about degrees; it is about earning new knowledges. Few years you will graduate, probably you will be an engineer, but you must never stop learning.”
I didn’t realize the power of his advice. I thought it was an old fashion conversation between a father and his son.
Today, after twenty years, I confirm: My high school was my revolution. But I was lucky, or maybe not a stubborn teen, and turn it to my evolution.
My message to You: Benefit from this phase; it is your transition to be a better person, build your skills and attitudes for your future.
Yesterday is gone, learn from it. Tomorrow is unpredictable, right? But today’s decisions affect and change your future.
Remember your mistakes, focus on your strengths, and take your actions for a better tomorrow, a better YOU.
Ask yourself today, what is the person you want to be tomorrow? And start…
