thats why!

I know the title of this entry may not make much sense to most people, but it does to me - so your going to have to lump it this time. The night of the 16th of April was one of the best nights of my life. I had been working hard for the Imagine Cup competition and it finally paid off. My team and I won the local Egypt competition. I seriously did not expect to win at all. My mind was being tormented with thoughts of quiting and wasting my time. Thank goodness I did not. We were the best el humdulilah. My only hope now is to continue this hard work and win the world cup in South Korea inshAllah. Wish us luck and Ill update you every few steps of the journey. We are already winners, all we need to do now is excel and enhance this win into something that will change the world we live in.

Looking back - I see the reasons my life took the agonizing twists it did in December. I fell into a depression due to the unfortunate events that happened in that month. Now, I see why...SobhanAllah! I see why it all happened! At the time, I was thinking what the hell could be waiting down the road to prevent me from working for the company I was looking forward to joining. Now I understand, I comprehend that something bigger, better and more promising lay waiting further down the road. El humdulilah!

At the time, I was blinded by what I wanted more than anything. When I failed the last interview I was so angry at myself. I was so depressed. Now I see that if you fail to achieve something you want so badly, this could just be because a bigger and better thing awaits you. So don't get all depressed about it - "All good things come to those who wait".

El humdulilah
