In ten years to come

Few days ago, during our lunch break, a friend pop up a question about where we are going to be in 10 years, i love this question and i usually ask in important moments, so here are the expectations =)
Ahmed, wanted to be engaged =) very ambitious, don't you think?!
Dalia, They expected her to be a TV announcer, as she was a media graduate and has that sarcastic attitude.
Mona, she will have her own company in Portsaid, her home town.
I, one expected that i would be a writer, either in literature field or the e-marketing and advertising field, it cheered me up although it never came to my mind.
I love that, because no matter how life seems difficult now, which is not el hamdolliah, we still expect better future, we always see hope in the unknown, we do not expect the wrinkles, the failed marriages or that some of us might not live to see what happen in ten years, we see only happiness, may this wish come true ya Rab.

After that i decided to write where i want to be in 10 years, what about you? where you want to be in 10 years?!
Be careful of what you wishing for , Because the universe genie will answer "your wish is my command", from the secret book .
Imagination time guys

You know, one may have a thousand things they want to become in 10 years, but nothing to become tomorrow.

I read once that focusing on getting better, rather than try to pant after a big fat goal, will make you rather more resolute and productive.

Getting better is best explained in tomorrows - because if you use school maths, if your tomorrows aren't full of action items that were checked, and even if you spend a thousand years, your goal will still be just a goal.

That's why I have some enmity towards such rhetorical open ended questions, especially if asked by interviewers who lack potential themselves - it's demoralizing.

So, in 10 years, what I really really want to have had happened, is for the tomorrows stretching in between now and then, to be so perfect I wouldn't want to regret that they weren't, when I reach after all those years.

I'm very sophisticated, ha? :D

i guess i get what you mean and i agree with you,but what u do tomorrow does not contradict with where you wanna to be in 10 years, coz simply it is a long trip not over night change, and tomorrow is part of this trip.
for example, i wanna travel to France, then i am going to save from now.

well this Question always scares me cause I hate to have hopes and then not reaching them... that's for like a 2 months plan so imagine how I would feel for a 10 years one !

I was asked the same Q like a week ago and I gave a funny reply not a real one...

I was watchin "How I met your mother" and there was a character writing a letter to his 30 years old him (when he was 18), and then when he read it later he was so down...
I think its a cool idea, write a letter to your older self with all the ideas of how ur life might be then... open it then and voila !

wish all your plans, long and short term , be achieved dear :)

I just came upon your blog.. and I found this question really interesting...
There is a big difference between what you wish for to happen in ten years, and what you actually expect to happen to you in ten years.

I expect myself to be married, a mother of one or two children perhaps, living a, lets say content, life, in my suburban home.

What I wish for is not very different from that, except that I would have started my dream business, and perhaps published a book or two, and maybe won a few awards for my photography.
Does that sound really hard to reach?

But... أنا أريد وأنت تريد والله يفعل ما يريد!!
I could wake up ten years from now, in a place I had never imagined I would be in.. not in my wildest dreams!
Ten years ago, I never even thought I would visit Egypt, let along move there and live there!

Mariam:
first welcome to my blog and thanks for your comment.
actually i dont see a difference btw what u expect and what u wish, and specially in ur case, i believe you could achieve them both inshallah, u still could be successful at work and a wife and mother too unless Allah wants something else for you, that is ur fate.
But they say that prayer change Fate.
so it is all in your hand, do ur best, be flexible and always come up with solutions we inshaallah khir :)

Looks like I've missed a lot :)) ... Here comes an Interesting question ... The Fear inside our hearts is mostly to answer this question ... And really not from " Not having what we want " But from " having our dreams come true " ... I liked Batabeet's ... But I cannot be sure of the details I'm sure that I will never lose track Insha2allah for a nobler goal :)) ... and as mariam said : Who knows :)) ... (y)

Wow..that my favorite post for the day..im acutally calling it a night after this..I always admire stuff that leave you thinking..like a book , movie, song, or in your case a post..Upon reading your question I could see it in my head..Myself 10 years from now..smiling..surrounded by a partner maybe or just friends..discussing how great life turned out for us..thats really whats matter..how I feel about where I am at the moment.
I read the secret..twice actually..im in love with it..but still my instincts sometimes stop me from believing ..i always alter myself to fit my current place and actually liking it..It always works:)
sorry for the pretty long post..I read alot today..and its gets me into writting lol!

I wish i would be sucessful in whatever I do, loed by all I know , married with 2 adorable kids..running my house perfectly as well.
I wish I can get to learn more in religion , also a new language.
I wish to be in shape then , lookin young still :)as that started to worry me already.

25 things u don't know about me

I was tagged Noly but this is a difficult one, i was asked to write 25 things people do not know about me, so after long thinking and asking sister and a friend, we came up with this list: 1. I am half Egyptian and half Sudanese 2. I can not swim, and I wish so much that I learn it oneday. 3. I can never imagine myself married to someone I don't love. 4. I am an optimistic person; whenever I see anyone being depressed I can get him out of it even if I am depressed too. 5. I am unlucky person. 6. I did not know that I am romantic person until recently when I discovered that my favorite movies are those romantic type even so I still don't like Tamer Hosni ;) 7. I love my niece gedan, sometimes I wish my sister give her to me :) 8. I hate to be lonely. 9. I am a worried person, whenever I have something on my mind, I keep thinking about it over and over. 10. I get bored so easily. 11. I feel blessed at many times. 12. I can not judge people at all, all of them are good till they

A psychiatrist

A shrink, a psychiatrist or whatever they call it. That is something i don't want to do. I don't want to listen to people complain about their lives. I don't want listen to sobbing about their lives whether it is really bad or they are spoiled. I don't want to listen to people problems while my mind is occupied with mine. I don't want to listen when i can not give a solution. I don't want to go step by step to find a solution. I don't want to talk about failed marriages, relations, weird orientations , or even addiction. Oh God,that is a really tough job, gloomy job to have, May Allah help them. What is the job you can never do it?!
