I learned in 2007

This is my 50^th article which is interesting to me because it coincides with the 100^th comment on my blog. And it coincides with the end of year 2007 which held a lot of great experiences for me on the personal level.

Back when I started my blog in July this year, I wrote an article titled: “I learned – 2006“. I will tell you one little secret of mine; all through the year when I write my diaries I keep little notes about what I learned in special occasions. I summed it up for you in 2006 and here we go for the 2007.

Skimming is bad

I admit, this is one of my mistakes, I have been skimming.

I recently noticed that I don’t remember little details about some issues. I asked myself what’s the reason for this and I found out. I have been reading everything from daily news to books and reports so quickly. I think pressure and lack of time are main reasons for this attitude.

What are you?

The other day I was chatting with my friend Qusai about the situation of a certain artist. I don’t want to mention the name of the artist as it is not relevant to my point.

He told me that this artist was neglected by the media for more than seven years now after all what she was in a certain stage in her life. I said: “who cares about her. After all she’s not that brilliant artist according to the measures today”.  He told me that today’s measures are not important as much as what this person did and contributed to the artistic movement in a certain time. I think he’s right.
