my 100 percent
so i have 3 hair dressers ,not 1 ,not 2 ,THREE,one is for cutting my hair and getting it done on special occasions or whenever am in mohandsine(i live in maadi) and the 2nd is this really old guy who blow dries my hair wheneve am in a hurry or not in the mood for making a fuss and the third one is a female hair dresser who owns her own shop in maadi,she's cool,gives me great hair if i want to go out on a normal day or something,
i was going out with friends yesterday so i went to her first,so we are gossiping as usual when she tells me something
she says: "you know the theory of 100 percent ,right?"
big blank on my face
she says: "u know,god gives each one of us a full 100 percent,compiled from luck,money,beauty ,love and intelligence.it's just that they are not given in equal portions,so no one is happy fully but at least they get a piece of eveything".
so i ask her "u have known me for almost 2 years now,how do u think my 100 percent is compiled ? "
long pause,hair blower stops.......
finally
"u have 40 percent beauty and wit,30 percent smartness and money,20 percent love from from ur family and friends and the other 10 percent is ur sense of humor" and i asked
"mmm,what about luck?" and she looks at me in the mirror
and says"to be honest i dont think u have any,i have more than a thousand women who come to me for getting beautiful and u r the only one who never complains or bothers about her skin or her body or hair,it's because u r trully beautiful from the inside and out,honey.... u have no luck and i dont think u should mind that,no one gets 100 percent from equal 20 percents,i can introduce u to many women who would give anything to be u,be thankful and dont change,luck is the only thing u cant work hard at getting, i know for a fact u will end up with someone who dont deserve half the princess u are,my advice to u,dont feel bad,just use that smartness god gave u and choose the best out of the worse"
great,i dont have the only thing i cant earn,but I'm thankful for what god gave me,even if i know that i may not get to be held by a man who trully loves me and feels pride of being my man,i dont mind growing alone,i just hate the look of diappointment when my parents read the same prophecy into my eyes,i hate breaking their hearts but there is nothing i can do ,i have had my 100 percent regardless of what is in them,i have had them and i am thankful and silent.
over and out

Dont believe sooth-sayers.
Everyone gets exactly what he/she deserves. That is the most basic law of nature.
We, Arabs, have one big problem, that is we believe that a power not coming from within will sort out our problems. we have reduced religon and our defiant progressive culture to absurd fatalism.
From the way you describe yourself, it seems that you have many cards, so go out and get what you deserve
That's so cute :-)
actually i believe
God gives us more than what we really deserve
God is generous with us but all we have to do is to be thankful and grateful and God won't let us down for putting all our faith in him
complaining only makes u feel bad about life,, but doesn't change it
been reading ur blogs,, i can tell you are truly and intelligent talented worthy lady

Keep the faith
