Black Holes

Hello everyone

It has been a long time since I wrote something here. I really miss writing here and sharing stuff with you. For long time I have been trying to find a book makes me want to read, and after buying various diffrent typs of books I found my favourit book that called how science works. This book discusses diffrent phenomenas and explaine them in a simple way.

Today I read about black holes and I already heard about this phenomena before but i know nothing about how it happens or even why. Black holes is a region of space where the gravity pull everything including the light which makes the black hole invisiable but it is detectable by some kind of instrumentation. The scientests demonstrated the existence of the black holes as a result of stars death. Basically any stable star has two forces work in opposit directions to give balance; inward gravitational force; outward pressure from nuclear reactions. Once the nuclear reactions stop, the star dies and it loses the balance between those forces. The losting balance leads to explod the star. If the core of the star remains after the explosion, it keeps shrinking and collapsing and form a black hole. This phenomenon aroused many questions, can this happens to the earth or to a star near to the earth, what happens to the things go inside the black holes, what if the sun become a black hole, what will happen if a person goes close to a black hole. I really enjoyed reading about this phenomenon and I hope you felt the same.

My dream of life

After I graduated from university I started to learn english but I never kept going  I always ended up disappointed. I had do many things l bought many books to learn english , I saw so many videos about english, I joined many forums for English learners ... etc

Unfortunately after three years regardless of all my effort I didn't see any noticeable development in my language 

I started to think that I'm not able to master any language because  i just don't have ability to do that. I was really disappointed .so, I decided to try to learn english for one more year with all my strength without any break .I told myself that after this year if I can't make any progress in English I will forget it forever and focus on something else

I thought so much how I'll teach myself at home then I thought about something .Every time I see or hear the word "Apple " I don't have to think I directly know what it means . So, I thought if i can make every word easy to remember as that word I'll make the progress that I want.

I used to learn many words before But I always forgot them easily after a while like I've never seen them before. I thought my way to memorize those words was wrong therefore I had to see how other people memorize words . I found in general people had three advices 


1- Write the new words without translation 
2- Use them as much as you can 
3- Try to read the new words every single day for a week at least

I was almost doing just the opposite but after I stuck with these advices as rules of learning English I found myself getting better and better in English.I started remembering words more, I could memorize long sentences , I followed English accounts on Twitter ,I used the dictionary less than before  ..etc

I just saw the difference and felt  the progress that I always wanted. I did many wrong things during learning English but I had learned something very important sometimes you don't have to try harder you just need to mend your way or change it .

The second thing that helped me a lot . About one year ago I started using an app where you can find English native speakers. I started talking with people there. At a beginning I remember so many times I couldn't express myself there and I was just talking about specific topics but that helped me too , because as they say " If you don't use it, you will lose it" when you talk or write and use your own vocabulary its just stick in your brain automatically that makes my expanded vocabulary effortlessly


For me learning English is like a journey and I can feel that I'm so close to the end

My problem is I can't stand my friend

One of the biggest challenges that we face in life is how we're dealing with people because if you use the wrong way of dealing with people  maybe you will suffer from that or lose a friendship or relationship with someone.
I'm such a sensitive person and always try to make people around me comfortable even if I'm not. When i was studying i had a friend who was an amazing person in many ways but she was selfish and so cold . I spent hard times with her I didn't want to lose her but at the same time she was a difficult person to be around . Whenever something bad happened between us I felt so bad and kept asking myself why did she do that,  what did I do wrong and if I were her I wouldn't do that . So I blamed myself and my friend at the same time.
One day while reading a book I found something very interesting . The writer said "don't expect people do what you want to do if you were in their place and try to accept people the way they are " I felt as like all my problems with that friend had been solved . I was completely wrong when I expected her dealing with me as the same way because she's just different . She has different personality , life and background besides that I was wrong when I tried to change her to be perfect to me because it's not my responsibility to change her character even if she's wrong . 
After that day I didn't get mad at her again and I just enjoyed her company . Since that day I always tried my best to accept people as they are and if I can't I just leave them while we're still friends . 
on other hand I started being myself more than before because I no longer feel I have to get accepted by people and I just remember something i read before "being kind for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle " 
In the end every person has a bad side and good side if you want to live with people happily just find the good side and ignore the bad side.

Do you know your brain needs food

Few years ago I didn't aware of how much reading is important for life .Maybe the reason which makes me hate reading is I connected reading with studying . so if I don't study I don't need to read . It sounds crazy now but it wasn't at that time .

Besides that I was comparing reading with watching TV. While I watch tv I can enjoy listening and watching with amazing effects . so, why I leave that for silent book. The only way to made me read at that time was while I traveling because in that case I don't have any choice .

About two years ago I took a course in college for one year and there I changed my mind about reading . I usually feel bored in any class. I used to bring food , play games on my phone ,play cards and listen to music during the lectures .

In that year I met two teachers who were so different from other teachers . For first time I enjoyed listening to someone , I got benefits of those lectures and I felt my teachers had many interesting things that I don't know.
They were full of knowledge and their speaking so eloquent maybe you feel I exaggerated but I'm not .
Sometimes I didn't agree with their opinions but I always respected their views . One of them tried to made us reading . she even preferred reading to do usual exams .

I wish I had many teachers like her because I passed many exams during my studying and I never change but after few assignments I still affected by them for years .

Unfortunately until now I can't get along with reading but I try to buy books and put them close so I can find them easily . In addition to that I downloaded app in my phone and IPad for reading even though I just read novels and books for English learning I'm happy because it's a good step for me as initial step

In future I planed if I ever have children I'll buy many books for them before they can read I just want their first memory of reading be a enjoyable memory and see a fun side of books . I read a quote from someone he said "A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies the man who never reads lives only one" So I want my children to live a thousand lives . Even Einstein had said something about reading for children "If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales."


According to statistics in Arabian area each person reads less than half page a year . So the lack of reading is problem in many countries maybe we have many distractions in our lives that makes no time for reading . I meant before they invented television and internet reading was the most way to spend enjoyable time for rich and poor people.

In the end reading is food for our brains as much as you read as much as your world be bigger .


I know I have many mistakes but I hope you enjoy reading my first blog.
