It takes more than one game to find your flow; to connect body and soul. The goal is to keep trying; not giving up. Keep working to improve your game, don't give up your dreams; it takes several attempts. Keep buying the game and you will see progress; be persistent with your dreams and you will see that they are possible.

Pretty or Smart in Arabic Class

Last friday (10/24) i had arabic class. It was the day when the students had to submit a paper about anything cuz we dont have the class the previous week. Since my arabic is not really good, my paper was chosen to be read in front of the class. My teacher commented on how i wrote my name in arabic letters because there are two ways to write my name in arabic letters. Then he asked me, "which one do you choose, smart or pretty?" i chose smart. Actually im not really smart. Im not pretty either.

So here through my blog i wanna make it clear. there were some things that i had to consider before answering the question cuz i thought my answer would give effects to my life. Here are some reasons why i chose smart:

first, i get great feeling when people tell me that i'm smart though cuz it kinda boosts my self esteem (okay, i admit it but never EVER tell me that im smart if you think im not)
second, i dont want people to judge me or just talk about how i look from the outside cuz i think that is so not important
last, and also the less important, i like the word smart better than pretty

Okay, thats it. Thanks for reading (:
