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

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
for example, i wanna travel to France, then i am going to save from now.

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 :)
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!
Hello friend =)
yeah i know it is scary but let us take it like this, we have a plan for 10 years to come inshaallah and beside it , we ll keep emergency plan for anything comes up later, the simplest reason, what we like now, we might not like it tomorrow.
I will write them down as soon as possible inshaallah, i even might write them here.
Thanks a lot for your wishes and i wish them back to you doubled inshaallah =)
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 :)
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:)
