And Then ??

el salamo 3alikom wa ra7mato Allah wa barkatoh,

leaving the 10 projects cuz i liked to talk :)...
what to talk about ?
A big number of previous posts were about ACM contests, and specially how it's happy to win the contest, travel and represent a big institute.

Ok, why we won those contests ? ... how to make sure you gonna win or don't get upset if you lose ?

1- Why we won:
ACM kanet 7elm, wel ACM Regional contest t-shirt kan 7elm barDo :D, kan moussa kol ma yshoof Dr.Abdulla we howa labso, y2ollo nefsy fe da :D, zay ma el balloons kanet 7elm le ba3D el nas ;)
fe aw2at gatt 3alena, konna ben2ool nseeb el ACM we natafarra3' lel real life work technologies... bas da kan kalam minutes we ye7'las e7l :D

Did we expect winning the local ? No we didn't, Did we seek it?, sure Yes, so what happened...simply:
إن الله لا يضيع أجر من أحسن عملا
as much as ur effort, even if big part if your efforts failed, but you didn't stop, and try harder and work more,,, that increase the probability of winning.
is it work only ? No, what else ? al-taqarrob ela ALLAH, ALLAH is the only who let you fail or succeed, so what happens if you forgot ALLAH!! your work is gone with the wind.
So finally the two factors affecting vectory, is WORKing and NEVER FORGET ALLAH

2- what happens if you lose ?
That's gr8 question... do u have another chance, or is it the last ?...
if you have another chance then it's the perfect time to lose, review the reasons that result in that... fix them, practice and work more, even if you have worked alot before.
You don't have another chance, it's quite fine, think of other achievments, think of what you should do else (wont talk about that now cuz actually i couldn't feel it :D)

3- What happens if you succeed ?
become afraid ?,,, become "scared" ? ... that's how you should feel, almost other feelings won't lead you to the right way.
could you plz turn these scaring energy to mind/thinking/work energy ? ... follow the factors i mentioned above, don't work randomly, define a plan, The team members should help each other to finish the missing part ... sure u have some missing things, knowledge is infinite.. team members should hear the leader's word, team members must stay friends...
that's gr8888: PRAYING and NEVER FORGET ALLAH + FRIENDS + TEAM-WORK
wow, that should result in a big vectory, even if not, it will strengthen your competition soul

is there anything more ?... Yes, just a little note, don't waste time scared, quickly decide what you have to do next, don't waste time happy, don't waste time sad.... work is too much,,, you are a dream in other eyes.

that's enough, :D
salaaaaaam

After the warming up

el salamo 3alikom wa ra7mato Allah wa barakatoh,

that will be a short blog, First, i wanna congratulate all first teams,
3*1 = 0 ... good work friends, gr8 work newbie Abdul-Rahman ;)
Breakpoints ... veeery good work, you deserve it, you worked hard and reached the semi-finals (i think your goal is much bigger)

### Omar Othman team, i don't know its name :D, but gr8 minds working on a pc, what should you expect from them

then comes The Two Mosquitos, you have tasted the first rank :D, and it was gr8, i think next time you'll try your best not to let it go

GREAT WORK ya shabab & shabbat :D,

for us that was ta7deed mostawa, we expected so before the contest, we didn't practice well, teftekro anna et3'arreit!! i think nope, but the problem is that i fed up quickly, get tired quickly, i don't solve alot of problems to end! .. a number of techniques is not implmented well till now!

7'azalna nas kteer!,,, menhom nas kobar zay Dr.Karim, Dr.Abdulla, i think Afify wel zomala2,
msh 3aref a2ool eh tany, msh han2ool 7aga ba3d kda, kollo hayban isA :)

finally, i won't post the last part of Kuwait Trip fel wakt el 7aly, wa2t ma ya7een awan posting it... i wish there will be much greater event than it!

Dreaming of non-impossible, wishing to become true.
