Love what you do. Do what you love.

Our generation is surrounded by so many old school people who think that the way they think is "realistic". When it comes to us choosing our majors they'll always have those questions asked:

• How much will you earn?
• Where will you work?
• What will you do ?

Why werent we asked if we loved what we are going for?

Now let's look at our country from a bigger perspective, most of the people -not all- do things they don't want to do and end up in positions they are not passionate about and then what happens?

Us, the citizens don't get our rights in a proper way. I believe that all those who didn't get the scholarships didn't get them because THERE ARENT ANY PASSIONATE PEOPLE IN THE MINISTRY. IF there were, they would have looked into the passions of the students more deeply. or at least we could submit a personal statement or maybe a paragraph about what we wanted!

Now, imagine Bahrain with passionate people who have positions in majors they love and always wanted to do. I would never say there will be absolutely no problems, there might be bad competition between people. BUT we will have more committed, innovative and ambitious people! This would create a bigger change none of us expect.

It's not just the majors, it's everything in life. Doing what you love to do increases the self confidence of the person and helps increase innovation.

Having trouble convincing people? Don't. Just do what you want if you think its right.

Sometimes, things happen the other way round unexpectedly. At some point in life we need to agree that god writes the best for everyone of us. But again, look back at the reason which changed everything.

Believe, believe, believe and believe in yourself and you will definitely succeed. That's a promise.

My name is Maryam Baslar and I'm doing and will keep doing things I always wanted to do and loved to do, will you?

Your road

We all live in the same country, with people with the same mentality and from the same society. Yet, every one of us has a different way of living life and how to look at it.

Yesterday, I had a chat with one of my friends and we were talking about us having the feeling of not fitting in, in this society. Some of you might find this issue as a negative issue. Not fitting in or finding people with your interest is not something easy but it is not bad in the same time. Some people have the feeling that they are “unlucky” too.

Most of the people in our society, and almost all other societies –if I’m not wrong-, have one road that they see their path in. Those people follow the same road without trying to look on the left or right side or even trying to find a new road. When someone tries to build a new one, it seems like a sin to them or something which has to be forbidden or a dream which will never come true. 

                                                                                   

I believe that there are so many people in this world who are capable of creating new roads for themselves and help other people to follow them. Creating a new road isn’t an easy task especially when it comes to bringing in a new thing into the society. But no one succeeds easily or by passing by an easy roads, there must be some consequences or some barriers which we are supposed to fight. 

 Like I said to my friend, I would like to tell this to you all.. Being different doesn’t mean you are bad or you are not good enough, it just means that you are adding a value to yourself and who you are.

Add a positive value, create a positive road and make the change you want but before that make sure you believe in Allah and have him as your priority before doing anything.
