CONFUSED
ok finally I came up with this conclusion..
some people should not be treated nicely :|!
when u'r nice to them they think u'r weak and they make fun of u. and that's surprisingly weird 'cuz once u show a different attitude other than 'nice' u find 'em respecting u!. I treat ppl the way I like to be treated, and that's only bcuz I feel bad when I don't. it's my nature! I wish I never have to meet such people so I won't have to act like that and feel bad about myself later. even if they deserve it

World's Friendliest Countries: Bahrain
The Middle East has long had a reputation for being one of the world's perennial trouble spots. But for expatriates, the tiny Persian Gulf county Bahrain ranks as one of the most welcoming places to work.
That's the surprising result of a new survey of 3,100 expatriates conducted by HSBC Bank. Bahrain ranked first in one key measure of how easy it is for expatriates to set up a new life for their families. It received high marks from expats who like the country's easy access to modern health care, decent and affordable housing, and network of social groups that expatriates can join.
Canada, which ranked first in a similar survey last year, fell to second place on HSBC's integration score, which measures how easily foreigners and their families can settle into a new country. Australia, Thailand and Malaysia rounded out the top five. Foreign workers in these countries found it easy to make local friends and said they enjoyed a higher quality of life than in their native countries.

Gandhi Quotes
A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.
A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.
A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion.
An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?
I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers.
I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
Imitation is the sincerest flattery
In a gentle way, you can shake the world
Man can never be a woman's equal in the spirit of selfless service with which nature has endowed her.
Nobody can hurt me without my permission.
Prayer is a confession of one's own unworthiness and weakness
Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory.
The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.
There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.
Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
What do I think of Western civilization? I think it would be a very good idea.
You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty
Quotes in pink are my fave**

Memorable Quotes from Amelie Poulain the movie
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
The fool looks at a finger that points at the sky.
At least you'll never be a vegetable - even artichokes have hearts.
Life's funny. To a kid, time always drags. Suddenly you're fifty. All that's left of your childhood... fits in a rusty little box.
So, my little Amélie, your bones aren't made of glass.
You can take life's knocks. If you let this chance go by,
eventually, your heart will become as dry and brittle
as my skeleton. So, go ahead
I like to look for things no one else catches. I hate the way nobody ever looks at the road in old movies."
The girl with the glass...maybe her thoughts are with somebody else. Somebody in the picture? More likely a boy she saw somewhere and felt an affinity with. You mean she'd rather imagine herself relating to an absent person than build relationships with those around her? Maybe she tries hard to fix other people's messy lives.
but What about her? Her own messy life? Who'll fix that?
Amélie: It's better to help people than a garden gnome
Failure teaches us that life is but a draft, a long rehearsal for a show that will never play
We pass the time of day to forget how time passes

Arabic oldies ~ فى قلب الليل
ف قلب الليل
وعزف الصمت متهادى كموج النيل
ف قلب الليل
وبرد الخوف بيتكتك سنان الخيل
ومافى حد ف الشارع
سوى مهر اتربط جازع
ف شجرة سنط وأنا والصمت
وبرد الليل وخوف الليل
وصهل المهر لم أفهم أخوف منى أمتعاجب
سألت المهر لم يفهم كلام منى ولا جاوب
وكان ف عينيه برئ منى
كإنه كان بيسألنى وقفت انظرله ينظرلى
وانظرله وينظرلى
ولما صار كماخلى
فتحنا أبواب حكاوينا وتهنا فى أغانينا
ف برد الليل وخوف الليل وحزن الليل
وكان فى جيده قيد جارحه
وقيد فى جيدى مالمحه
لكن حسه أكيد حسه
وفجأه لقينا احلامنا وصهل الفجر ف عيوننا
مسكت قيوده فكيتها صهل بمعانى حسيتها
وصار يجرى وينسانى وأنا باجرى ف طريق تانى
ف برد الليل وخوف الليل وحزن الليل
وبعد كتير
ف ليل تانى لقيته لوحده من تانى
فى جيده يقيده قيد تانى
صهل تانى
ماردتشى
وباقى لوحدى أنا بامشى
ف برد الليل وخوف الليل وحزن الليل
