Indirect Saying

In my country we have a lot of sayings that the people use in their live to tell their opinion in something or to give advice in an indirect way. My father always use two of my country old people saying. The first saying is," the door of the cabinetmaker is broken. The people use this saying to advice or aware others who works in certain industry to let them pay attention of their broking stuffs. For example, if the person is a mechanic, and he has a broken car, his friends or family will tell him this saying to aware him because he is a mechanic and he know how to fix cars. Therefore, he is supposed to fix his car as soon as possible.The second saying is, "nothing can scratch your skin like your nail. This saying means that nobody can do the work that you are responsible to do better than you. The people use this saying to advice the person to do his work by himself and don’t rely on other people. Sometime the person who is responsible to do the work tell this saying to others who he or she asked them to do something and they did it in wrong way, Or they didn’t do it completely.In Saudi Arabia hearing indirect saying is bart of our life. my father always use these two saying. there fore when I here anyone say anyone of these saying that remind me in my father.

Alone or Lonely

The life today is very fast and complicated. Therefore, a person sometime needs to be alone to think or relax. I spend most of my time with my friends but sometime I prefer being alone than being with them to think or relax, I love my home because it is the place where I can stay by myself without people that could disturb my relaxing or thinking. I think that it is not strange If a person spends only sometime by himself, but it is strange that if the person spend most of the time by himself, Because being alone most of the time is probably reflects a mental problem that the person may have. People are sometime forced by some situations that make them lonely. Fore example, If you went to new place to study or to work you would find yourself alone because of the differences between you and the people who live in new place that you went to. I used to work in the capital city in Saudi Arabia before I came here. I worked 9 month there. The first four months I felt very lonely because I was thinking about my family and my friend, but after the first four months I was very busy with my new life and my new friends. Before 2 weeks I was with my friends in one friend apartment we had a good time but suddenly I felt that I needed to be home, Therefore. I drove to my apartment. After I arrived I felt so happy that I stay by myself with nobody to annoy me.I cant live lonely but sometime I love to be alone.

Be successful Dreamer

Dreams are the first step to succeed. If we seek about the beginning of any successful person, we find out that he was dreaming about success before succeeding, but dreams are not enough to succeed .you should believe in yourself , and fight to bring your dream from the imaginary to the real life. My dream is to have a restaurant chain in Saudi Arabia. I started to think about that when I was in the high school. I decided to study business to accomplish my dream. While I was studding business in Saudi Arabia, I started the first restaurant with my younger brother. In the beginning we worked by ourselves and some workers. We worked hard until our profit became better. I came to U.S to continue my studding in business and my brother now is managing our business. We will start the next restaurant after a month. When I finish my master dgree I well go back to Saudi Arabia to teach business and continue my dreams in having a big restaurant chain. Dreams are your way to succeed, so don’t keep them only in the imaginary.

Halloween For Americans Not For Saudi Stusents

Some people celebrate in Halloween holidays but others do not. In Saudi Arabia we only have two holidays. The first one is al-feter holiday and another one is al-hajj holiday. Both of them are about the happiness. We don’t celebrate in respect of dead people because the celebrations in respect of dead people are forbidden in Islam. We celebrate in al-feter holiday and al-hajj holiday after we finish with our worships in special times in the years. I used to work during these two holidays when I was in Saudi Arabia because their times are the best times in the year for my family trade. The people in Saudi Arabia including my fimily members always have fun in these holidays. They invite each others, eat special food, and prepare special cookies. Halloween is a good holiday for American trade because it refreshes the demands on some products. I have never celebrated in any Halloween holiday, and I will not. Because I think dressing up in costumes is silly and some of my American friends think that, too. I don’t believe in ghost and I think the respect of dead people in the people hearts not by the celebrations. I am not a religious person but I don’t celebrate in Halloween holyday.Although Halloween Is a big holiday In Amirica, the SaudI students who study in U.S do not celebrate it.
