My English Language Journey

This is the story of Ghassoub, a child from Palestine, who falls in love with the English language and with everything British after meeting a British lady tourist by chance at the Dead Sea, where she teaches him a few English words and treats him well. This incident makes him dream to be something ‘English’ and it plays a significant role in shaping his future as, within a few decades, he rises the ranks to become a professor of English and an author.

Ghassoub’s long and tough journey in the English language as a learner and as a teacher offers the reader valuable lessons in some aspects of English language learning and of its complex teaching profession. His dedication and passion for teaching have enabled him to innovate and come up with his own theories that are vital to achieve success and greatness in the teaching profession.

This story, which is written in a simple, humorous, sarcastic, and sometimes metaphorical style, is not just a story, but a guide or a self-improvement book for anyone who wants to have a more effective life, a more effective study style, a more effective career, and a deep understanding of the painful process of writing a book.

Mythologies Of Late

 The word ‘life’ conjures the ordinary and the ordinary are experiences common to all humans except that their routineness, their repetition, their commonality make them invisible in the busy-ness of loaded days. This book tries to make them visible again. Human experiences are varied and many; the few in this book stand for all that are not in it. Mythologies of Late is tell-tales of the extraordinary in the ordinary, a mirror onto societies of people and places for re-cognition, aimed at returning readers into ideas of themselves, giving them the joy of owning their familiarity and, I hope, their meaning.

"Words are but the images of matter. To fall in love with them is to fall in love with a picture."  - Francis Bacon-

Nation Brand: Soft Power And The Case Of The United Arab Emirates

For years, countries have been leveraging so-called ‘soft power’ to preserve their interests and ensure their significant presence in various societies, and in the process, building a strong and positive nation brand that has a respected position in the international arena.

The establishment of alliances at state level and the expansion of soft power is now a fundamental tool for many nations to increase their influence and significant presence on the international stage, while enabling them to spread and secure their foreign policy and pave the way to attracting more allies.

Today then, soft power has become an essential method of influencing minds, winning emotions and getting to grips with peoples’ behaviour, social trends, and emotional tendencies.

Of Butterflies And Cocoons

The author suffers from social anxiety disorder. Problem is, no one seems to quite understand what that is. What does social anxiety look like on the ground? In therapy? In day-to-day living? How can a therapist or a family member understand how our minds work? What can we do to fight this debilitating disorder? And what is it with scientists and speeches anyway?

In a hilariously macabre journey of rainbows, unicorns and self-analysis, Hafsa shares her insight into what makes social anxiety tick, and what simple steps we can take to overcome it.

On Justice

The book is a study in the philosophy of law, in which the author talks about justice as an absolute value and as a supreme human value. Through his research, he differentiates between justice in the upper world or a metaphysical world, and justice in the human being’s world or the ground world.

The writer discusses the impossibility of absolute justice in the ground world, and that the eternal laws that govern the movement of human life on the ground impose a justice that is human in its nature and relative in its value.

This book argues that the law and the judiciary are the two pillars on which justice is based in human societies. It also explains that achieving justice as a supreme human value develops through the performance of these pillars by focusing on administrative law and consensual judiciary.

Once Upon A Dream

When a dream touches reality, it becomes possible to happen. No matter what I lost in my life, I always looked at the bright side. I always suppressed my pain to be able to move on.
I believe that if your new year is just like the year before then you need to get yourself a job.
When I was fed up waiting for a job to save my life, I worked on my dream. Sometimes losing important things give us the chance for better things. Only when we are positive enough can we see the light under the sea and an ending to the ocean.
Wake up today to make your dreams true. Work on them because the story of 11:11 wish and the falling star wish are unfortunately not real!
