It's been a while since i'm focused on reading books that discusses group dynamics, management, productivity and organizational structures. i'm finding so many interesting ideas and frameworks to learn, share and use through my daily tasks in my current job. in one of the ascent books i was reviewing (when i say ascent, i mean written in the 60's) a found an interesting story that talk about rewards in work environment and how it affect negatively as much as positively on the end results. it goes like this: "A weekend fisherman looked over the side of his boat and saw a snake with a frog in its mouth. Feeling sorry for the frog, he reached down, gently removed the frog from the snake's mouth and let the frog go free. But now he felt sorry for the hungry snake. Having no food, he took out a flask of bourbon and poured a few drops into the snake's mouth. The snake swam away happy, the frog was happy and the man was happy for having performed such ...

Fake Independence, failed state, failed democracy

- November 22, 2016

In the 73rd memorial of the Lebanese Independence Day, still, a deep surge of wonder and uncertainty circulate my shallow conception about the country I was born, raised and reborn many times into. A question mark keeps lingering in my head while no definite answer can be reached. Is Lebanon as we know it today, deserve to be an entity inclusive to all its indigenous residents? I was born in 1981, a considerably dangerous year to be alive, or at least to be aware in Lebanon. As it was mentioned on my ID, my residential birth was the nearest hospital possible to the shelter where my parents used to take cover. Up until my 9th birthday, most of my childhood memories were made either in shelters or in a 5 Km radius away from. The crystal clear images in my head remained from the year 1990, when I had my first communion and the battles between the Christian faction “Lebanese Forces” and the Lebanese army. I remember the shelling, I remember death, I remember the voices o...

Parable - a Lioness, a Cheetah & an Oryx (in Lebanon: Politicians, their client base and citizen)

- October 29, 2014

The following Parable is an actual simulation of the Lebanese society layers. Parable of a lioness, a cheetah and an Oryx, who had come together on a long journey, decided one day to confess their sins to each other. As queen of the forest, the lioness was the first. "she told the others that, once, after she had finished off a big buck, a zebra came by. "it looked so sleek and tender," she said, "I had wantonly dispatched a fellow beast for no purpose," she said regretfully. The remorseful cheetah reassured her. "why should you, queen of the forest, be remorseful about the skill that has made you the greatest hunter of us all? You are to be forgiven." Then the cheetah told how, one day, he had spied a fat ewe and her two lambs. Hungrily he had pounced on the nearest lamb, but the mother had begged him to spare the remaining lamb and eat her instead. "I agreed", the cheetah said, "but I was so hungry I the...

للعباقرة والمحللين السياسيين والعسكريين يلي متلين الدني تحاليل وتهاليل عن التدخل الروسي المبارك بسوريا، اليكم بعض الحقائق: - المشكلة الكبرى انو سعر الصاروخ يلي بتطلقو السوخوي وف16 اثمن بحوالي 50 مرة من سعر المركبات المقاتلة يلي بيستعملها داعش (يلي يملك ما يزيد عن 12000 مركبة) زائد في حال كانت المركبة مليانة مقاتلين، سعرهم اقل من كلب الشيواوا تبع "باريس هلتون". لأجل هالسبب الحملات الجوية لا تنجح. - مخازن الأسلحة هي مخططة على طريقة العصابات. يعني سعر مجموع الأسلحة والعتاد والزخيرة بكل مخزن أقل من سعر الصاروخ، و هذه المخازن عديدة وموزعة جغرافياً. يعني مستر بوتين ولو استعار حصان مار جرجس وسيف مار ايليا، ما ممكن يقضي على مخازن اسلحة داعش (بفتكر حزب الله استعمل الاستراتيجية ذاتها في حرب تموز) الله بخليكون، حلو عن ربنا تحاليل. وماعاش تشاركونا بمعلومات مدري من وين عن سقوط المنظومة الكونية بهل يوميين. عند القيامة، الله مش بس راح يسأل شو عملت منيح وقبيح، رح يسألك ليش الجدب؟ شو عملت بالمخ يلي عطيتك اياه؟ وشكراً
