Livets skola


Livet är den bästa skolan
Erfarenheterna är de bästa läxorna
Utvärderingen av erfarenheterna är den bästa lärare.
Ju längre vi lever, ju mera vi lär oss.
Akta dig att stänga dörren för livets skola
Se till att du bär den doft som återspeglar din själ
Det är doften som du lämnar efter dig som berättar bäst för de efterkommande generationerna om din livsskildring.

The promised land is created by your hands


Dreams are created to be new realities.
Dreams are created to generate hope and energy.
Dreams are created to be measured with own faith and deeds.
I've learned to turn every threat into an opportunity.
This makes me say to my brave daughter;
 I'm proud of you my precious juwel.
The shadow of your appel tree that others dislike now, is the reality of your flourishing paradise which you create with your own hands, and which will draw people to its wonderful surrounding.
This tree will protect you from the sun, will be the home of the singing migrant birds from all over the World with all possible languages .
You have my southern blood running into your veins, with almonds on the top, orange fruits like the sun and the endless optimism on your fruitful lips.
Keep your Dreams alive, and they'll keep you busy doing wonderful things, thinking wonderful thoughts , and singing with your international birds Choir.

Parler à Mon Père

Je voudrais oublier le temps
pour un soupir, pour un instant,
une parenthèse après la course,
et partir où mon cœur me pousse.
Je voudrais retrouver mes traces
où est ma vie, où est ma place,
et garder l’or de mon passé
au chaud dans mon jardin secret.
Je voudrais passer l’océan,
croiser le vol d’un goéland,
penser à tout ce que j’ai vu,
ou bien aller vers l’inconnu.
Je voudrais décrocher la lune,
je voudrais même sauver la Terre
mais avant tout je voudrais
parler à mon père,
parler à mon père.
Je voudrais choisir un bateau,
pas le plus grand ni le plus beau,
je le remplirais des images
et des parfums de mes voyages.
Je voudrais freiner pour m’asseoir,
trouver au creux de ma mémoire
des voix de ceux qui m’ont appris
qu’il n’y a pas de rêve interdit.
Je voudrais trouver les couleurs,
des tableaux que j’ai dans le cœur,
de ce décor aux lignes pures,
où je vous vois et me rassure.
Je voudrais décrocher la lune,
je voudrais même sauver la Terre,
mais avant tout,
je voudrais parler à mon père,
parler à mon père.
Je voudrais oublier le temps
pour un soupir, pour un instant,
une parenthèse après la course,
et partir où mon cœur me pousse.
Je voudrais retrouver mes traces
où est ma vie, où est ma place,
et garder l’or de mon passé
au chaud dans mon jardin secret.
Je voudrais partir avec toi,
je voudrais rêver avec toi,
toujours chercher l’inaccessible,
toujours espérer l’impossible,
je voudrais décrocher la lune,
et pourquoi pas sauver la Terre,
mais avant tout je voudrais
parler à mon père
parler à mon père

je voudrais parler à mon père
parler à mon père

I did it my way( New book in process )


      


            Limitless




Nothing like imagination and birds can fly around without passports and visa.
There is no power like the power of imagination that can totally free us from captivity, and at the same time, there is no power that can hijack us   mentally from our reality like our imagination, depend on how we activate it, and what has an impact on it.
What makes me write a book about limitlessness is the new situation in our global village which we thought that it was an open society, but it seems that new borders are about to be built with walls of different types and sizes. People around the World are in desperate need for a source of inspiration that make it possible for them to regain what they've lost.
When I was a little boy, I lived in the middle-east in a little village in south Lebanon in a poor family. We were always in short of money, short of cloth without even having t-shirts and shorts, short of security and above all, we had a sick mother and a jobless father.
You may wonder, what had helped me to become the man I am now?
 What had helped me at that time when I was a hungry and frozen little boy?
I might surprise you as I was personally surprised when I reflected back on my life, trying to decode the code of my survival and the reason of my endless happiness and self-confidence.
My Imagination was the richest part of my life. I was in the state of mind that moved me from my miserable life to totally different reality.
I saw with my imagination what is there beyond my reality. I saw and I believed on what I could become. I had stronger faith on what was invisible. My faith was as strong as the one Jesus said that it can move a mountain.
I found freedom and Peace, but without my imagination it wouldn't be possible to even survive the daily struggle of a boy whose mother is mental ill, and his father is jobless, living in a little village with mental, physical and economical disasters.
Freedom and peace are two fundamental needs that cannot be bought with money. These two things are the cornerstone for every person that strives to have a happy Life.
Freedom and peace have many enemies, and in political terms, freedom and peace used to be mentioned with the Peace and security terms.
Without freedom, it is difficult to love someone, since we cannot love ourselves if we feel that we are not free.
Without freedom it is difficult to build trust, and it is almost impossible to create a culture of tolerance and acceptance.
Without peace, it is impossible to focus on the right things, or to do the right things. Peace starts with our inner peace, and it is so vital to regain control over our lives.
 But what if we neither have the freedom to speak freely, nor the freedom to travel, to believe, or to not believe, to marry whom we love, to live where we want, to work with what we’re passionate with, to get the education we want?
How much freedom and peace we have if we lack of money, we lack of work, we lack of housing, we lack of food?
My book is about unleashing our imagination to the extent of limitlessness. I want you to allow your imagination to go wild. To create scenarios that makes you laugh and smile. To have more fun, thinking and using awesome words. I want you to be the designer of your own happiness.
 My aim is to bring to the light the possibilities and the difficulties that our imagination might create for us as individuals and societies.
I invite you to spend some time each day in my daydreaming daycare. Let the childish you regain the richness of the imagination you had one day.
Revive your imagination, and let it show you the way.
Don't accept to be a passive passenger following the mainstream day after day.
 Create your own Philosophy. Paint your own colors in your own way.
 Sing your song, and be proud of what you sing and what you say.
Be your own Frank Sinatra. Do it your own way !

Painting with words



My capacity to write poetry seems related to my willingness to give expression to many different, apparently conflicting aspects of the reality.
 The freedom to vent the frustration, sadness, happiness and gratitude reactions to daily life.
  If I’m willing, I can move on with my words, or dig deeper , to formulate a more creative response. In  painting´with words, it’s all there, the good, the better and the outstanding, and it’s all transformed by the beautiful mindset, into a divine image that I Believe that I refuse to live in a World without it, and I Believe that the World itself longs for it.

Pompen sover


Tiden tickar och skapar prickar i rymdens vita duk.
Pappan strävar efter den förlorade tiden, dottern bokar tid åt honom hos framtidens skratt .
Hon berättar och skrattar från djupet av sin buk.
Han fyller på sitt sinne med hennes oavbrutna skratt .
Han ropar som en galen... vilken skatt , vilken skatt !
Han tar på sig kappan , och täcker huvudet med sin hatt
 Han viskar till sin flicka en lingvistisk godnatt ... Bonne nuit... Natti... Natti... Hoppa hoppa ...
Tiden tickar ändlösa minnen av hennes underbara skratt , om pappan som är stark , men var rädd för sina barns katt.
När jag tänker på mina barns skratt
Mitt hjärta lyser med en styrka på hundratusen watt.

MY SWOT


All of us have our strengths and weaknesses, these are no secrets.
But the great secret lies in transforming weaknesses into strength, and transforming threats into opportunities.
On this picture, you see a group with sad children with a smiling child as an exception.
I am this child when I was 6 years old.
All of us who participated in this picture lived in the same village, had the same conditions, with we had different goals in life, different fantasies and different dreams.
My strength has always been my imagination as nowadays I call it my vision.
I then had a clear vision of the future that I want, while my friends seemed to have nothing.
The way I posed with my legs crossed and my arms behind my head say a thousand words.
I am filled with joy when I look at this picture today. Because then I saw the future with the eyes of faith. I believed in my vision of a better life waiting for me to face it. I saw myself walking in the streets of Paris, London and New York, though I had barely been outside the village limits.
I understand why I am who I am, and why I have always chosen my own ways. The inner strength that I had has transformed all threats into opportunities, and all the weaknesses into blessed artist's narrow brushes that are important for painting the small details of the big picture (the vision)

SWOT is a concept that we use in leadership. Its four letters cover strength, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
What is fascinating is that not every strength is positive, and not every weakness is negative. Everything depends on how, when and why we use our properties.
The vision we have for our life is the mirror that identifies our personal SWOT
Being aware of our own Swot enables us to choose what we want to do with it.
If we do not like a certain weakness, then we work on understanding ourselves why we are weak there, and how can we change it and turn this weakness into a strength.
Nothing trivial to anyone who has a will
When there is a will, there is a way.
I have found my way to joy and meaning in Life, what about you ?

Diamonds can only shine in combination with sunshine.



Wine , olives and figs,
Life, struggles and victory,

Roots, heritage and living memories,

In the south i was born,
In the south I was shaped,

from the south I've started my journey,
In the north i was blessed and cursed,


I will leave my precious diamonds in the north,

To the south I will return to create my own wine,
I will fill my cave until my precious diamonds seeks the sun in the south.
Diamonds can only shine in combination with 

sunshine.

I promise to fill their glasses with my very best wine.
I shall taste it now with my beautiful lady everyday ,

 untill the celebration day...

A way to survive.


When my daughter told me for many years ago about Tom Hanks and his Mr Wilson in his film "Cast away " she never imagined that she'll personalize Mr wilson one day .

The film is about Chuck Noland,  the pilot who worked at FedEx, whos airplane crashed above an isolated island.
He survived this deadly crash together with few packages that were aimed to be delivered to their owners.
In order to survive, he was forced to open many of these packages , so he migt find something useful.

In one of these packages he found a ball, but he had no idea what to do with it.
He was totally isolated , and he had no one to talk to.
One day when he was trying to make fire, he hurted his hand.
He was bleeding and angry at the same time, and it happened that the ball was just beside him, and since he had unbearable pain , he grabbed the ball to stop the bleeding.

The miracle was already there. His bloody hand created the face of Mr Wilson.
Now he is not alone anymore.
Now he can talk to Mr Wilson all the time about everything.

It was the only and the most important social contact he had.
My wonderful daughter and I were amazed of the whole story and the ending of the film.
Now, my plane didn't crashed and I am not in isolated island, but yet I relate my contact with my kids to Mr Hanks contact to the World during his unwillingly stay in the island.

But the difference between me and Tom Hanks is that he had no possibility to contact his family and tell them that he is still alive.


Now , since my kids are real persons , and our blood bond is far more stronger than the bond between Tom Hanks and his fiktive new friend Mr Wilson, 

and since I can use this technoloy to hopefully get in touch with them, and for surviving the absence of the social Contact with my kids, I hanged the pictures of my kids on the walls of my house, and my conversations with them has been in daily bases, just like Tom Hanks.
I share with them all the joy & pain I feel  within my heart. 
I share with them my success and my growth.
I share with them my new stories, and I tell them how much I miss them, and I tell them about my Partner , and how much she loves them.
The four Wilson's and I will reunite one day.
The pictures will still hang there with one empty place to a new one.

A new picture of the Five of us will join the collection, and hopefully the ending of our separation won't be the same as Tom Hanks separation from his Family.
 I believe that my current Wilson's going  to get back there real names one day, and I live for that day !

Stones versus flesh and bones


Even if you were made of stones, after all these years, you would had became flesh and bones. 
Love is gold, hardship is bronze.
