Population in Yemen has been growing in a noticeable rate during the last fourteen years. Last statistics showed that the population of Yemen for the year 2007 reached 22,230,531 (according to the CIA Fact book). If we compare these numbers with the numbers in 1994, when the population was only 15,831,757, we will find a growth of 6,398,774 in fourteen years. In 2004 the population of Yemen was 19,685,161 compared to 2007 it recorded a growth of 2,545,370 in three years only. This means almost 848,456 more every year or in other words a rise of 3.461% every year. By looking at all these facts we can predict that the population of Yemen will exceed 30,000,000 in the next ten years. According to the CIA Fact book the unemployment rate was 35% in 2003, and the population below poverty line was 45.2%. With low income and expensive living I wonder what it is going to be like after ten years.Sunday, March 2, 2008

One day computers will rule
It is very known that computers play a vital role in our lives today. Computers are everywhere these days. They are in companies, in homes, in restaurants, in shops, in libraries, in schools and universities. Wherever you go you find a computer. We can't do anything without a computer around helping us to get the job done faster.
If you need to write something you use your computer, if you want to calculate something you use your computer, if you want to listen to music you use your computer, even if you want to call someone outside the country you don't use your phone because computers have made it easier and cheaper to communicate through the internet.
In companies computers do most of the work. They check the attendance of the employees, they control the flow of data inside the company, they prepare reports and organize the important information, and they even control the fire alarm. Do you think it stops here? No, the more we use them, the more we need them. They keep spreading like a disease in the body. Once they control our work, they will start controlling our lives. When I watch movies like "Transformers" and "iRobot", I see nothing but unavoidable future. Yes, that is the truth. One day computers will rule, and until that day comes, keep your eyes open.
Important note: All the things mentioned above are just some thoughts from my journal. So please don't take it seriously.

How to become the smartest person on earth in 5 simple Steps
We complain about our intelligence all the time. Why are there smart people and average people? Why can't I resolve logical problems when my friend does it easily? Why do I take longer time than my classmates in exams? Is there any possible procedure that can make me smarter or somehow raise my intelligence?
Well, YES there is. In fact I am giving you today a way that will make you not only smart, but the smartest, and in five steps only, can you believe this? So take a seat, take a deep breath and follow me.
.

Step 1
Stop trying to be smarter
God gave us the ability to develop and to learn from our mistakes. Do you think you are not smart? Well, here is a fact: humans are the smartest creatures on the planet. Maybe you think that, because you are not good in something, you aren't smart enough. That is not correct. Because people aren't perfect, they can't be good in everything. However, we all have different abilities and intelligences, so stop worrying about not being smart enough.
Step 2
Be your self
Sometimes you try so hard to change what you are, because you like to be different maybe smarter. But you forgot that you can give the best of you when you are on your nature. Instead of acting in a way that doesn't represent you, try to be your self.
Step 3
Explore your strength
While you are so busy in complaining about your weaknesses, you forget to look at your strength. Being smart doesn't mean to solve complex problems all day long, or to speak ten languages fluently. It means that you have to know your self better than anyone in the world in order to get something valuable out of it, something like creativity.
Step 4
Work hard
This is my favorite one. Working hard is like the foundation stone of every success in the world. Many psychologists suggest that you don't have to be a genius to succeed; it is enough to work hard and to have a vision. Isn't success all we want from being smart? Albert Einstein, the famous genius, said: "It’s not that I’m so smart; it’s just that I stay with problems longer" and we all remember Thomas Edison and his hard work in inventing the light bulb after hundreds of unsuccessful attempts.
Step 5
Stop worrying about what people say
People talk a lot, and guess what they don't say the smartest things all the time. If you are going to listen to whatever you hear, you won't probably go farther than your doorsill. However, you need to get some advice form time to time, and you have to know who you can trust and rely on.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stick to these rules, and I guarantee that you will be the smartest person in the whole world.
Oh I forgot the last step. It is to come to my blog every day at least once and to make some nice comments. Only then you will be the smartest person.

Intelligence, one word with different meanings
Multiple intelligences are an interesting concept. This is what makes people different in the way they understand and react to different situations. I know some people who are linguists and can use words amazingly. We say that these people have a way with words, and that their linguistic intelligence is the strongest.
For me I have been always good in mathematics, and I have had a real head for figures. That is why I preferred to study Information Technology and all related sciences, because it has everything to do with solving complex problems and equations. I have strength in my interpersonal intelligence too, because I prefer to work with people all the time and I don't like to spend a lot of time alone. In fact I am able to give much more when there are people around me, and this is another reason why I chose IT because in this field you have to work with a team in order to accomplish certain project in time. My visual intelligence is very good too. I like drawing and I understand pictures better than words. I give myself six out of ten in visual intelligence.
I like the idea that we understand life differently and that we have different kinds of intelligence, but it doesn't mean if I am good in mathematics I can't develop my skills with words. I believe that with practice and determination we can have equal amount of each kind of intelligence.
