lot of people get to a point in their life where they THINK they NEED someone to love them. This thought can come from a lot of things such as the community that they live in or the people they hang out with or could be other things. What most people don’t get is the fact you can’t really love someone else unless you love yourself first! This might sound easy to do but, trust me this is not easy at all but when you love yourself, life will be much better. You will be positive, you will be confident and most importantly you will be happy. You won’t need someone to make you happy because you will already be happy with who you are, and if you liked someone who doesn’t accept you the way you are, it will be

easy to let go of that person because you know you’re good, loved, beautiful the way you are. Sometime we meet people in life we think that we’re happy with them but, once they get out of your life you will realize that you were happy with them only because you loved yourself through them, you were happy because you were accepted or a part of you was accepted to them. Now.. Why would you need someone to make you love yourself, you can do that perfectly without the need of anyone! All you have to do is accept yourself. Stop changing who you are just to fit to someone you like or to be accepted in a another community. Be original, be who you are. And by being happy of who you are you won’t need someone to «complete/love» you and someone who love you for
who you are will come eventually. Don’t waist you’re time searching for that someone.. it’ll come. till the day when your special someone comes, love yourself and never be weak. Also never be needy, you’re strong enough to make everything by your own! Tell your heart every morning that you are strong and happy and deserve a good life and don’t let anyone break your heart you know why? because your heart is too good to be broken. once told me, you’re *Someone too good to be a second option. Well, everyone deserves to be a first option so love yourself more.. You’re too good to not be loved. Smile, Love, Be happy the way you are.

Book of the month
Maysaa Banjari @Maysaa_ban
Edition language: English Pages: 318 Published January, Dutton Books This book was recommended to me by too many people, and to be honest, I did not expect that I’d love it this much, from the very first page, it felt like I entered a new dimension, it taught me to see the world from a totally different perspective I smiled, I laughed, I fell in love and my eyes shed a river of tears while reading it. The book is written in simple english which makes it really easy for anyone to fully understand it. So dear book reader, if you like to be sucked into another reality filled with love and agony, you have to read this one.

All the Way to the South of the Earth, for a TEDx Conference Bassel Almehman @balmehman I’m 19 years old. Three years ago, all I would be thinking of is riding a 4x4 American engine. Well, I did that, eventually. But you know what happens when what you think of turns into reality? You start thinking of other things. Of course I would have never guessed my thinking would shift from hardcore motors to inspirational ideas. How did it all start? I can tell you exactly. So, I was about 13 years old, or maybe 14, and national TV decided to come to my house and shoot some scenes of my personal life. I have just come back from the United States after my team and I did a bragging work on the international First LEGO League competition. My sister recommended that I should show viewers on TV more intellectual things to inspire them and enlighten them. She decided a TED talk was inspirational and enlightening. I remember that talk. It was about microbiology and what tiny things inside our bodies do and how they live and so on. This was the first time I ever hear about TED. A few years later, I became 16. I was in Canada at Queen’s University for a summer program. Intellectualism is everywhere. It was like they’ve gathered Canada’s finest, coolest, and smartest high school people all in one place. They talked a lot about TED and TED talks. During certain days, they would play TED talks for us at some workshops. This was only the second time I have ever seen a TED talk. So what did I do? I loved TED. I packed my bag and got back to my hometown as the program came to an end. A few months later, senior year of high school started. I was required to do a graduation project to be able to graduate and get my American diploma certificate.
I sat with some friends to think of a group project. Well, they took a summer class so they’re really graduating earlier than me so things didn’t manage to work out for a group project. What was I thinking of by then? Make a TEDx event. I was 17 at that time. So a group of friends gathered and we made that humble event; believe me, it’s very humble, but it’s suitable when it comes to an event for 100 attendees, 75 of which are friends. They would all applaud and compliment, excessively, for sure. See, I’m not a fan of small shows. I go with “go big or go home.” A year later, I had a thought: I have to see a big picture so I can show people in my community the big picture. To attend a TED event, I definitely had to go through an application process. It was so intense: The types of questions they asked me, the deadline I had to meet, the processing of my visa, the flight and hotel booking. I really had to work for this if I wanted to make it happen. I became very excited in this and thanks to an amazingly talented friend, a.k.a. my accomplice, the excitement
became extreme. I received an email that said, “approval confirmed.” I’m going to Rio de Janeiro for TEDGlobal! Can I say I didn’t sleep the night prior to this? Because waiting for an approval email has the power to keep you up at the night. It’s a long flight: Jeddah, London, and then Rio. It’s a minimum of 17 hours in the air. I arrived at Rio, and acted like a tourist for a few days until the conference began. It was a masterpiece. Not just the design of the venue, but the people around were amazing. Not just speakers, but TED staff and other attendees as well. They were from 70 countries around the world. I met different cultures and minds. Powerful minds on a quite outstanding platform all meeting in one place. I checked the schedule, and had no idea what to expect of each session, break, or event. Everything was beyond expectation. There was that one speaker who talked about why privacy matters. He declared that no matter how much Facebook says, this should be an open world and all content should be viewable in their
database, as there’s nothing to hide unless the person who is hiding stuff is a “bad” person. Yet, Zuckerberg still bought all the houses surrounding his house so he can have some privacy. No matter how much Google says, resources should be open and data about people’s lives, locations, and actions should be accessible, Larry Page, the CEO of Google, didn’t like it when someone accessed personal info about him through the Google search engine and other Google products and services. There was
people from the director of RoboCop, through Harvard professors and graduates, to a 21-year-old medical products inventor. The event was literally global, as speakers were from so many different parts of the world: India, Lebanon, Palestine, Kenya, Cuba, England, the United States, Brazil, and so much more. The performances and visual breaks were really great and I liked so many of them. They resembled excellence in ideas, production, and precision. Some of my favorites were a few
another speaker who joined the Israeli army, resigned, then made hidden cameras for Palestinians and other people from different places to wear and film what actually happens to them in their lives. I met other people as well. A sincere guy from Russia who came on a “business” trip to here, another from Germany who’s a general manager of a company that makes doctors’ work easier and better, a lady from Spain who coaches women to be able to represent themselves internationally on stages, many others who translate TED content to many languages to help spread it even more, and so on. They’ve combined so many things in one less-than-a-week-long conference. They even taught us how to make animations! And they wouldn’t miss the chance to make us dance that samba, for sure. I interacted with
artists, painters, and filmmakers who grabbed my attention vigorously. The event is over now and I’m back to my hometown. I have the big picture now. Some people told me that getting back to “reality” could be a bit dreadful. But the ideas are still alive in my mind and those conversations I had, even during parties there, are keeping me eager to get my society to see the big picture. Because I am Saudi Arabian, I can show them the big picture from another angle and it should be more appealing and suitable for them. It will take effort, but it’s worth it. But the actual issue is, are we ready, as a society, to take in the big picture? This must be answered through both actions and words, and by all of us. Dare to change.
