Well, I believe that genius is much of a skill (not talent) that is mostly developed rather than just gained. Ok, some people are smarter than others but the difference is rather small. Take this example, you have two minds. one in person A and another B. At a certain age (>18) we see...

I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Two more years are left for me to finish it. I'm also planning to minor in Philosophy. I'm also interested in Political Science and Sociology, since I took some elective courses in the university. I didn't know much about...

Well, the thanks goes for my father who cared about placing me in an English speaking school at grade 9 and thanks to the attitude I had towards books ;). I’m planning on improving it even better, by reading more, practicing my spoken English and writing in forums such as that and in magazines...

Funny while I was reading this, I heard an Israeli Jet fighter above Beirut. Believe me, it's terrifying to hear these jets that not-so-long-ago was bombing us. http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/10/22/news/mideast.php In addition, the Israelies finally spoke the truth of using white...

Thanks, but as I mentioned before there's a huge political division that is worrying. Hope people here get mature and start thinking of their country and ways on building it rather than being blinded sectarians.

Thanks all :D what makes it better is your delightful greetings :)

Interesting discussions going on here, and I'm enjoying it. I find myself as the only apperance here who is living in the Middle East and you don't how much I find it thought-provoking to discuss such matters. :) I find Iraq as a very complex situation. Many people here (in the Middle East)...

Since I came back to Lebanon, citizens were on the move to go back to their homes (if they still had homes). I directly got busy with my university, because we had to finish the Summer Semester in a compressed process. We finished it two weeks ago and then there was a small break and we started...

Hello everyone. First of all, I’m sorry for keeping you waiting and not reporting for the last two months or so. I have been very busy, but I’m glad I’m back to Lebanon. I’ve been on the first planes that found it’s way to Beirut’s Airport directly after the cease-fire. Lebanon is back to life...
