How do you know that you are happy?
I ran a poll the past week asking people if they are currently happy with their lives. Out of the 73 people that voted, over 50% said they are happy, but want to improve their themselves.
That actually makes me happy, because those people realized that their lives are fine, but there is more to hope for and look forward to. You are giving me hope too, because I don’t have to think that humanity’s way of thinking came to a halt.
What disappointed me though is not the negative poll results where people said they are not happy, or wondering why they turned out this way. On the contrary, I was disappointed that people thought that their life is absolutely fine. How boring is your life? Don’t you wish to improve? Don’t you wish you can improve? Aren’t you hopeful that something better will come along that will drive you to do something different with your life?
Change is not easy, and once you realize that you can, then nothing will stop you.
Blah Blah, Confused, Random Thoughts, Sleepy Post, They said what?

I looove FouseyTube!! All of his videos are... 
Mona, I know this is off topic but… One of the Google ads on your site says
“Find Indian Sexy Girl now – Looking for cheap Indian Sexy Girl? Check 6.500 shops for great prices!”
I’m both amused and disturbed by it..
@Leila
One of the ads right now is showing a link to “A dream is hard to kill!”
For me, the Google ads are more positive!
Speak for yourself, it just changed to “Hot Mexican Girls”. I’m just wondering why no arabs are being advertised? At least it would be a BIT more relevant, haha.
@Leila
It used to get Arablounge a lot.. oh well!!
So what do you think of the poll? Did you ever answer it when I had it up?
Also, I got a new one up today.
Not to be overly pessimistic, but you have to wonder how many people answered that life is fine but secretly were too embarrassed to say otherwise.
Maybe some of those people who say they are absolutely fine are not kidding themselves when they say that. They probably do deep down what something different with their lives, but for now are content with what they have so they don’t really want anything more just yet.
Here is what I can only say, “When someone says that his/her life is just fine, in reality it is not!”
@Christopher (AKA: CaJoh)
or maybe they answered that life is fine hoping that it is in their eyes. They didn’t want to seem pessimistic all the time.
@Desert Shark
maybe.. maybe not.. who knows!
@JuneZach
maybe… maybe not!!
How do you know that you are happy? Well, it’s simple:
(1) I’ve got good qualifications
(2) I’m off to live on the east coast of Australia
(3) I’m going to be working on what is looking like an interesting project, albeit a somewhat insane one
(4) I’m quickly getting things sorted out
(5) My injured leg/hip is recovering well
My big issue right now, is I want to do a really good job on this project. Currently it’s all uncertain, very much a blank slate to work with. It will push my knowledge of accounting and programming, but what will be especially tough, will be the project management and networking involved.
@Meyrick
Australia.. I would love to go there one day! 
Have fun!! And tell me about all the new adventures when you get settled in! 
Congratulations on the new job! I am so happy for you!
@Mona
Thanks, freelance stuff is rather disillusioning, so back to a proper job is good.
The company I will be working for is in the mining industry, so there’s a chance I might be sent to Canada
, although probably Alberta 
@Meyrick Kirby
Were you hoping to meet the Rebellious Arab Girl if you were sent to Ontario?
@Mona
I think I would first have to buy some Kelvar body armour
@Meyrick Kirby
Oh please.. I am pure harmless. I just have a sharp tongue and I am blunt when I need to. I can’t stand liars anymore, and the world is filled with lies!
