Hi everybody,
I wanna talk to you about dreams. Once a day, we had a very large wallpaper hanging on our living room, it was about New York city view and the empire state building was right there in the middle(i’m sure a lot of u remember that poster). anyway the empire state building is one of the highest buildings all over the world and it’s big symbol of the great city New York. When i was young , i used to look at this poster, wondring if i can be able to visit the big city and the empire state building one day. It was just a dream.
However, time goes by and what i used to dream of became reallity and here i am ,living near new york and i got the chance to visit the empire state building, isn’t it great? i made my dream come true.
I wanna talk to u how i felt at this time when i was on the top of the building watching new york at my feet, up high to the sky. i felt nothing, yes nothing . . . just a normal feeling, just another dream came true. it wasn’t even so excited as i thought it would be. i told myself (what’s wrong with u man, you should be happy, you made your dream come true) but believe me i felt very normal.
That’s what i wanna talk to u about, dreams. . . .those that we keep thinking of . . day and night, trying hard to make them true and suffering a lot if they don’t. Dreams are very pretty as long they are dreems , once you reach out them, they loose their glimore, their magic and their bright.
It’s good to dream and it’s great to make your dream come true but it’s not the end of the world if you can’t make it, you’ll survive and you’ll get a new dream.
I want to say , try to enjoy your life, try to find the blessings that God gave you and then you’ll find your reall dreams and you’ll not be very sad when you loose one.
God bless you

Hi Emad, it has been long time since I enjoyed your thoughts and sharing. This blog thing proves to be more and more valuable everyday. A question I used to ask myself, why the staff that should make me overwhelmed with happiness are just another thing or another dream that came true but we felt nothing. I think about this a lot; I’ve reached some kind of answer that suits me. It is like when we are waiting for something; we are waiting to experience some new feeling, or some extraordinary fun. But it turns out to be either the same feelings we used to have with our ordinary fun stuff, or even the stuff turns out to be really ordinary. It is something like I go to Disney Land and figure out it is not so much different than Dream Land. (Just a hypothetical example) With time I figured out that fun and happiness is there in the very simple things we live every day. It is there when we have the ability to dazzle in front of every single simple situation we pass through everyday. It is our ability to dazzle in front of beautiful flower in the street, to dazzle in front of a smiling child, dazzle in front of acts of love, dazzle in front of a piece of painting, dazzle in front of a gossip with a friend… The last thing I want to add, sometimes I feel that the fight we do to achieve a dream is much more enjoying than achieving the dream itself. This fight makes the dream really valuable, because the harder the difficulties we had to go through to achieve our dream, the more valuable our dream will be. There are tons of dreams which you are still dreaming with Emad, aren’t there?

It is what I live everyday…. It is my daily struggle. I need a dream… If I let my thoughts to flow, the High Dam wouldn’t block it. But I have what is higher than the High Dam. I have what can filter my dreams… examine them… I have what helps me to discern…
I have the Word of God… I have the teaching of the church… I have the wisdom of my parents… I have a lots of thing that are close to me…. But when is the time to put all of these in action? Or, actually, the proper question should be: Do I want to put them in action? They are in my hand … They are in your hand… I don’t know what to say…. We almost take the lesson everday, but we don’t learn from it… You know why??? Because we don’t like the fact that we might be wrong… A wise man/woman is the one that choose to lower his/her ego’s voice to discern the wisdon that floats around. The wise person is the one that calm down the fire of his/her dreams with the water of humbleness. But again I don’t like all of that. I d rather say,” I want to discover the universe….I want to push myself to the limits to see how far I can go…” It is not striving for a dream, and then fullfilling it, what fills us with joy… It is beyond that… it is our desire to praise ourselves in an indirect way… I am not saying that dreaming is wrong, but we need to get the lesson. We need to set our priorities. During this, it is important to ask for help… and the most important is to realise that we need help… God is so fair that He is offering you that help in your hands… We look at different things everyday but we can’t see it. We look at our families everyday but we can’t see them… Just turn your looks to a real vision…Doing so, you will never regret a dream…

i know it`s too late to comment but ” i just know about the blog ”
first of all i `m so so happy that we have such a blog ” for me it`s like the journee we used to have ”
emad i really miss ur experiness i feel ur very simple to express but very deep
u know about dreams ” and i mean that kinds of dearm ” like urs the empire state and mine to have that glass house on the peach
i was thinking what if i really didn`t have it
and why i may stop my happiness to reach that dream looking for the happiness that how
while i may lose a real moments of happiness and can`t discovre that i may had my glass house on the peach here in where i `m
i love having dreams because sometimes the dream itself give the happiness and also try to have those dreams which lasting for a long time ” i mean a dream for a life style ” but that`s in case i can be happy also without it
we could make ourselves happiest ever if we just recognized how many dreams we didn`t dream about it and we just have it ” real once ”
this is true i feel like to have a real relations and a real freinds like u guys is the most greatest dream for me i never thought that i will really have it and i already have it and no matter what will happen tomorrow but
i had that feeling and those moments
it is not obout where i will be but how i `ll be i still remember ur story about the boy and the hours
thanks emad i love to share
sorry long
