If you’re like me, a fearful flier, then here you go some great tips to conquer your fear of flying FOR GOOD.
I’ve tried everything, nothing worked, lol. Maybe these tips will finally solve my problem 😉 Let’s wait till my next flight and see.

Why would you want to be someone else
When you could be better by being yourself
Why pretend to be someone you are not
When you have something they haven’t got

Cheating yourself of the life you have to live
Deprives others of that only which you can give
You have much more to offer by being just you
Than walking around in someone else’s shoes

Trying to live the life of another is a mistake
It is a masquerade; nothing more than a fake
Be yourself and let your qualities show through
Others will love you more for being just you

Remember that God loves you just as you are
To Him you are already a bright shining star
Family and friends will love you more too
If you spent time practicing just being you

Mobile phone users around the world will spend $1 billion a year on pornography sent to their handsets by 2008, which may boost the wireless services sector much as it fueled growth in the fixed-line Internet, a market research firm said. Mobile operators, which are struggling to drive up data traffic as a new source of revenue, have so far been reluctant to cash in on the opportunity, although many industry experts consider pornography to have been the first profitable service offered on the fixed-line Internet in the second half of the 1990s.

I personally believe this is just pathetic and stupid. People are going out of their minds. They’re doing anything to make more money, putting aside all negative consequences. HOW DISGUSTING! This is going too far. Porn is found on TV, internet, videos, cinemas, streets, clubs, bars… it’s EVERYWHERE! I consider this disrespect to human dignity, they’re dealing with people as animals, and we, people deserve it, because we’re peacefully watching porn being spread so easily without doing anything about it. All we’re good at is complaining. We complain about the intolerable sad condition our society has reached. Diseases, crimes, wrong behavior from older and younger generations…etc. I feel sick, I really do. People are forgetting about everything for few minutes of pleasure. To satisfy their desires they go for the easier way, they no longer care about anything. As long as they can afford it, they want to “enjoy their lives”, and to hell with everything else.
Why don’t people enjoy their lives the right way?! The way that protects their health, and their self-respect. Why did people become obsessed with sex? Because they’re empty! They think like machines. They live to eat, make money and satisfy their desires. They do this while widely shutting their eyes, and while limiting themselves to the easy cheap options. Unfortunately, this is what life is all about for most of the human beings, what a shame!

“My parents used to say: we don’t worry about your future son, in your youth, freedom and science will transform from theory to applicable facts, and this will offer you a better life… I can’t help wondering: would I be as lucky as my parents were, or would I have to survive my and my son’s future…” –a fellow worker.

The first time I heard “Time Is Money” was in a movie, I was still a kid and understood that it was mostly said by businessmen who believe that every passing minute means a chance for making more money, and wasting time, therefore, will result in wasting these “big” chances.
Nowadays “Time Is Money” is said not only by the rich, but also by the poor. The poor people who will be satisfied with any penny coming their way. Yes, to them too, time is money, every passing minute might bring them a chance to feed their hungry stomachs; every passing minute may bring them a bill to be paid. Time for them revolves around money… mostly the kind of money to be paid not earned. Time for them is either a chance to survive, or a disaster to kick them out of this one small about-to-fall room, why? Because the owner of this room ALSO believes that “Time Is Money”, why waste it on a bunch of poor people when there are ones who are ready to pay the rent -maybe double the rent- on time?!
If only there is mercy and understanding in this world. If only we can feel for each other, help each other and respect the circumstances of each other like we once used to. If only the employers judge by qualifications and personalities rather than judging by connections and looks.
If this happens, I’m sure this world will be a better place to live in. Smiles of satisfaction will be seen more often, beggars will no longer exist, and I wont be watching all these innocent children working as hard as grownups instead of being where they belong: in schools, beside their friends, learning, interacting, living their childhood and being prepared to be healthy, constructive and happy members of the grownup society.
Wishing wont do anything in this cruel world. Let us all act, let us all do whatever we can according to our personal environment and our own circumstances.
Donate money, give away old clothes, buy someone a meal, save a plate of your lunch for someone in need, volunteer in a help organization…the list goes on. There is always something each one of us could do for sure, doesn’t matter if big or small, a good deed is a good deed. Let your good intentions break free and be sure that your good deeds will not only help others, but will also help you feel the bless of being human, and the power an individual possesses in making a big change in the whole world.
It’s not too late to convince the world that time has never been only about money, time is what we make of it…
