reflections on this week

I was reminded of an important lesson this week; personality and the ability to get along with people goes a long way. It is useless if one is the most gifted person on earth but has no personality to deliver that gift and share it with others. May Allah beautify all our characters and make us get along with each other giving each other the respect and appreciation we all want for ourselves.
With that out of the way, I have a funny story to share with you; I went to my local store earlier on this week and as I was walking past the ladies' I saw a trail of tomato juice leading up to the ladies'. Shortly afterwards security as well as the store workers came to the scene and guess what; some dude who must've been bored out of his skull thought this was a funny trick to pull. He was apparently so bored shopping with his wife, he psyched himself up to be the store entertainer for the day! Message to all married men; Don't agree to go shopping with your wife if it bores the living daylight out of you!
At work I had a particularly busy week, I re-edited and extended my report on the UK prison system and the Somali youth locked up in it. After some longwinded office politics, it has finally been scheduled to air this Sunday (March 14) as part of the sunday discussion program. It is the longest investigative report I have done so far for the VOA and I sincerely enjoyed doing it. I hope listeners enjoy listening to it as much as I did putting it together.

Stay blessed folks :)
