Monday, May 16, 2005

يا فرحة ما تمت

ونصت المادة الاولى من مشروع القانون على انه "لكل كويتي بالغ من العمر احدى وعشرين سنة ميلادية كاملة حق الانتخاب ويستثنى من ذلك المتجنس الذى لم تمض على تجنيسه عشرون سنة ميلادية وفقا لحكم المادة (6) من المرسوم الاميري رقم (15) لسنة 1959 بقانون الجنسية الكويتية".

تضيف المادة "انه يشترط للمراة في الترشيح والانتخابات الالتزام بالقواعد والاحكام المعتمدة في الشريعة الاسلامية


WHAT THE F**K DOES THAT MEAN??!!

اذا التزم المرشحون الرجال بالقواعد والاحكام المعتمدة في الشريعة الاسلامية، وامتنعوا عن شراء الأصوات وتزوير السجلات الانتخابية... وقتها تعالوا تكلموا عن الشريعة

لعنة الله عليهم

Congratulations, Kuwaiti women & friends! All your hard work has finally paid off. Now can someone explain to us Americans what that Islam clause means and what the deal was that led to it?

Everyone, including me, don't get this whole phrase!! Probably, 7jab, burga3, 3abayah islameeyah, m3 shwayat sha3ar 3ala anamel!!<< So that they won't consider her a woman!! But I think the whole thing came into their minds, Or the whole phrase was created just to postpone womens rights delegation!!

Any way,Congrats Guapo Z & everyone

Z,

Why all the negativity? this is a positive step! Why do u always seem to confuse everything.. It really will not stop women voting! either ways.. women have come along way and this is a great victory! so lets be very positive about how things turned out! and hope that everything goes well! Alf Mabrook to all the women!

FCM... I'm happy, I really am... but as usual we never get anything in its entirety without some catch or compromise. This is just as bad as segregated universities.. another catastrophe that many people don't realize

I just hope I'm wrong

Imagine this:

They enforce 7ijab on women as they enter the voting booths. They enforce 7ejab for women to enter the Parliament.

Liberal women refuse to go. 'They' win.

I WOULD GO EVEN IF THEY TELL ME TO WEAR A KHAISHA (SACK).

About the shre3a thing, although it dose not seem very dangerous, it could be manipulated in so many ways that may make it lethal. And I am not talking about the hijab issue alone here. One of the thawabit could be requiring the permition of alwali for a woman to vote for example, and this would be far more dangerous than hijab.
What I would like to see being done right now, is a study prepared by a group of liberal experts in constitutional law about this matter, and how it could be fought legally. If any one of you people has a connection with the Kuwaiti lawyers association pleas talk to them about it.

This ''shar3iya'' clause seems to be another idiotic idea of our dearest friend Waleed Tabtabai. Mark my words this clause would be brought up against every female candidate running for election. It's such a vague law.
Its gonna cause alot of trouble and head aches in the future. there will be alot of protests against every female candidate because they will always find something to throw this law at. Wether it's because she doesn't wear a hijab, or other silly things everybody has been guilty of at some point.
Surely this law applies to male candidate as well?? Well I think apparently not, since if we all remember Mr. Waleed Tabtabaie was spotted on some topless south american beach being given mouth-to-mouth resuscitation BY a bikini-clad girl.
Anyway, back to the matter at hand. Every citizen should be allowed to vote UNCONDITIONALLY. That includes police and military.

Many people know the importance of self confidence and try to boost their own by using many different personal development models. Self confidence to most people is the ability to feel at ease in most situations but low self confidence in many areas may be due to a lack of self esteem. Low self esteem takes a more subtle form that low self confidence. So if you are tired of feeling not good enough, afraid of moving towards your desires and goals, feel that no matter what you do it is just never good enough, then your self esteem could do with a boost.

Every day we make decisions based on our level of self-esteem. We also exhibit that level of self esteem to those around us through our behaviour. 90% of all communication is non-verbal - it is not what you say but ho you say it that matters! Your body language, tonality and facial gestures can all tell a completely different story to your words. It is our behaviour which influences others and people react to us by reading our non-verbal communications. Have you ever met someone you just didn't like although on the surface they seemed polite and courteous, or you met someone who seemed to speak confidently yet you knew they were really frightened underneath and just displaying bravado?

Parental and peer influences play a major part in moulding our level of self-esteem when we are children and in our early years of adolescence. The opinions of the people closest to us and how they reacted to us as individuals or part of the group was a dominant factor in the processes involved in forming our self esteem.

As adults we tend to perpetuate these beliefs about ourselves and in the vast majority of cases they are ridiculously erroneous. It is time to re-evaluate our opinion of ourselves and come to some new conclusions about these old belief patterns.

Ask yourself some serious question:
Is your long-held view about yourself accurate? Do we respect the sources from which we derived these beliefs? Most of the negative feedback we bought into as we were growing up actually came from people we have little or no respect for and as adults we would probably laugh their comments away! Yet the damage to your self esteem was done when you were very young and you still carry it with you to this day.

Is it possible that even those people you respected, who influenced your self-worth, were wrong? Perhaps they had low self esteem also.

As adults we have the opportunity to reshape our self-esteem. Try to judge accurately the feedback you receive from people you respect. This process will allow you to deepen your understanding of yourself and expand your self-image. It will also show you were you actually need to change things about yourself and were you don't. Many people are striving to better themselves in areas where they are just fine or actually excelling and it is only because they have an inaccurate picture of themselves in their minds due to low self esteem!

Setting small goals and achieving them will greatly boost your self-esteem. Identify your real weakness and strengths and begin a training program to better your inter-personal or professional skills. This will support you in your future big life goals and boost your self-esteem and self confidence to high levels you didn't existed!

Learn to recognise what makes you feel good about yourself and do more of it. Everyone has certain things that they do which makes them feel worthwhile but people with low self esteem tend to belittle these feelings or ignore them.

Take inventory of all the things that you have already accomplished in your life no matter how small they may seem. Recognise that you have made achievements in your life and remember all the positive things that you have done for yourself and others. Take a note of your failures and don't make excuses like "I'm just not good enough" or "I just knew that would happen to me", analyse the situation and prepare yourself better for the next time. If someone else created success, regardless of the obstacles, then you are capable of doing the same! Remember everyone has different strengths and weakness so do not judge your own performance against that of another just use them as inspiration and know that what one human being has achieved so can another!

Surround yourself with people who respect you and want what is best for you - people who are honest about your strengths and will help you work through your weakness. Give the same level of support to them!

Avoid people who continually undermine you or make you feel small. These people are just displaying very low self esteem. As your own self esteem grows you will find that you are no longer intimidated by another's self confidence or success and you can actually be joyful for them! Do things you love to do and that make you happy. A truly happy person never has low self esteem they are too busy enjoying life! By getting busy living your life with passion and joy you will not be able to be self-consciousness.

If you find yourself feeling self-conscious in any situation focus on the fact that others can tell and many of them will be feeling the same. Be honest. People respond to someone better if they openly say "To tell you the truth I'm a bit nervous" rather than displaying bravo or fake confidence that they can see right through. Their reactions to you, will show your mind at a deep level, that there was actually nothing to be frightened of and everything is great. If someone reacts to this negatively they are just displaying low self esteem and very quickly you will find others noticing this! Really listen to people when they talk to you instead of running through all the negative things that could happen in your head or focusing on your lack of confidence. People respond to someone who is truly with them in the moment..

Breath deeply and slow down. Don't rush to do things.

Stop the negative talk! 'I'm no good at that' or "I couldn't possibly do that" are affirmations that support your lack of self esteem. Instead say "I have never done that before but I am willing to try" or "how best can I do that?". Which leads us to the last point - the quality of the questions you ask yourself s very important.
When you ask a question it almost always has a preposition in it. For example, "How did I mess that up?" presumes that something was messed up, a better way of phrasing the question would be "what way can I fix this quickly?", as this presumes you can and will fix it. Or "How am I ever going to reach my goal?" could be rephrased as "what way will lead me to my goal quicker" presumes that you are going to reach your goal! Get the picture? Change the quality of your questions and your results will change!

Practise these techniques and watch your self esteem rise day by day. personal development plan
