Should Women Drive Cars in Saudi Arabia NOW

I am not against women driving cars in Saudi Arabia. I am all for it, but it should not be done until the public is ready. As we speak, the public is weary of anything involving women rights or wrongs. For those women not wanting to wait and asking for their right to drive now, I say they should go ahead and drive. Let them be the punching bag and pave the way for those who were wise enough to wait. Let them get harrassed by teens and the unemployed.

Instead, what we should do now, is to prepare the public gradually. We should make sure, free time for youth is spent properly. Special venues should be added to take care of this extra spare time. Cinemas should be back. "for families only" places need to be looked at again. Awareness sessions in schools and communities could help as well.

Menaigment

No...It's not misspelled.."Menaigment" is the saudi corporate term for "Management"..It is the generation of Corporate Management who knows nothing about anything in Saudi companies...They lack basic management and leadership skills. They don't really know what is going on around them. They rose to power either because they have connections or they bribed their way up the corporate ladder. "fluency in english" is their litmus test for all employees. If you're english is perfect, then they would worship you and list you as one of the high potentials. Nevermind the other competencies..who cares about these trivial competencies..only losers do..we're winners..

Now, where do you find "Menaigers"? Good examples can be seen in Saudi Aramco, SABIC and others..

If you work in these companies try and spot a "Menaiger"? If you cannot, chances are you are a "Menaiger" or you're in bed with "Menaigement".

In Search for Spiritual Satisfaction

I am not sure why people are continousely searching for new ways, terms, and ideas to get in touch with their "spiritual" being. There are so many consultants "spiritual" fads nowadays that is beyond belief. Examples are "the secret: the law of attraction", "the power of intention", "the power of silence", "the source" and on and on and on.....What people need is religion, and Islam is the best there is. All the books I read and the seminars I "happen" to attend regarding these issues are so optimistic and speak of so many invisible things...things that we could not see, but for one reason or another the consultants could...

Is it really so hard to realize. Go for Islam. visit www.islamway.com and www.islamtoday.com

Freakonomics

Just finished listening to the audio version of a fascinating book called "Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything" by S. D. Levitt and Stephen Dubner. The book could be called an eye opener by most who read it . What I liked most about the book is Levitt's (main author) way of thinking and research. His odd way of "out of the box thinking". It's beyond any one's box if you ask me. The way Levitt's links different things and derives a common conclusion is really intriguing. I've never guessed why crime rates went down in the US in the 1990's onwards. What do Schoolteachers and Sumo Wrestlers have in common. Why do drug dealers still live with their Mom's...and many more strange questions. What is really stranger or rather "freakier" are the answers Levitt and Dubner provide. I recommend this book for people who believe in the infinite power of imagination. (Image Supplied by www.amazon.com book page)

Inception

I just started this blog to share my views on many issues ; they will not be all related to Saudi Arabia. The blog is not political as I don't have any political affiliation or interests. The issues that will be discussed in this blog will be driven by everyday events and, hopefully, by your comments and questions. Thanks for stopping by.
