Yesterday,  I read & watched Steve Jobs's speeches with a huge admiration.

(one more time watched it since my last review last year )

He was asking " What is truly important ? "

it made an impression on me and of course his story touched me like other people.

This speech, was looking for some answers, had been made one year ago after a cancer diagnosis.

If you would be isolated in an island with 3 EC members, Who would these 3 members be? Why them?

My answer:

The first one would be Mr. Josef. As we know, he is a VIP, the founder of EC, the most famous website for learners of English, so when he is absent in his work, English learners from all over the world try their best to find him, soon they learn that he isn't in any country and must be in an island, after they find him, I can be rescued from that island, too. :D

Chapter one : Morning Sleep 

When people are busy chasing their dreams, I am busy escaping mine. Take it literally, please. It is a common thing to have a dream while sleeping, the uncommon one is getting trapped in it.

It was a morning in Ramadhan, I decided to get back sleep after pray fajr. I turned off all the lamp except the dim one near the door, the light was dark yellow, a bit like orange, but darker. Officially, my room had no door, just a rectangle hole with a curtain over it.
