A few months back, I had an opportunity to make small chit chat with one of my foreign friends here, in Sudan. I called him Rod. His name was not related from his enjoyment to watch the trailer of Invisible Rod. Hehe…he is older than me, twice of my age but still energetic to work and as far as I know, he is one of the dedicated employees here.
Because of his dedication, I cannot avoid myself from curiosity, therefore I asked him a question." Are you happy to work and stay here?" I asked that question because from personel view, I didn't understand why at his age, he still have to work abroad and be far away from his family. What he'd told me after that amused me very much. He said, our life here is like a Half Glass of water. Its up to us how to see it, either half empty or half full. I totally stunned and instantly I understand what he trying to say. So from that day on, I always say to myself that I choose the second one. Full of positive thingking and perception of life. Maybe this is the secret of happy life. I'm no longer devastated here. Thanks Rod.
