I’m trying to re-learn some of the skills that I have learned in the past. Some of these skills are technical and the others are not.

I often learn a lot of skills without actually practice what I learned. After a short some time These skills just fade away. These skills are  forgotten because I did not use them for a long time. Not use these skills in a practical projects make the process of forgetting these skills is faster.

Queues
You find queues everywhere: going to register at university, or in the supermarket, or even at the ATM. It seems these people are obsessed with order, to the extent that a joke says that the British, when they find two people one behind another, think there is a queue and start to stand behind these two.

For the last two weeks, until now, I have not had any trouble from any person, whether in the street or at university, in whatever form. When you ask someone for any information he or she tries to help you any way possible, just as people usually smile when you talk to them.

I think there are things that we as Muslims should be the first to do, but…
