A Turkish Bookstore Journey: Learning Language Through Stories

إِذَا قَلَّ مَا تَفْرَح بِه….قَلَّ مَا تَحْزَن عَلَيه.
الإِنْسَان بِطَبِيعَتِه دَائِمًا مَا يُرِيد المَزِيد ولَا يَكْتَفِي بِمَا يَمْلِك, ويَظُن أن السَعَادَة تَكْمُن فِي الأمُور الدَارِجَة مِثل النِسَاء والسَفَر والأَمْوَال الكَثِيرَة وغَيْرِهَا.
بِالرُغم مِن أَنَّ هُنَالِك الكَثِير مِنَ القِصَص التي تُثْبِت بِأنه ليس من الضَرُورِي أن يكون الشخص سَعِيدًا إِذَا أمتَلَك كُل مَا يُرِيد. 
يَجِب على الإِنْسَان إِدْرَاك أنه مِنَ المُسْتَحِيل تَحْقِيق السَعَادَة الكَامِلَة فِي هَذِه الحَيَاة. ومَن ظَنَّ أن السَعَادَة تَكْمُن فِي شَرِيك أو وَظِيفَةٍ مُعَيَنَة فَإِنَّه مُخْطِئ.
السَعَادَة الحَقِيقِيَة هِيَ طَمَأنِينَة وسَلَام دَاخِلِي رُغم كُل الظُرُوف المُحِيطَة بِك. والإنْسَان السَعِيد يُدْرِك جَيدًا أن أي حُزْن فِي هَذِه الحَيَاة مُؤَقَت وأي سَعَادَة أَيضًا مُؤَقَتَة.
القَنَاعَة كَنْزٌ لَا يَفْنَى والإِنْسَان السَعِيد يَكُون قَنُوعًا بِمَا يَمْتَلِك ويُحَاوُل جَاهِدًا أَن لا يُفَكِّر بِإِمْتِلَاك مَاعِندَ الغَير.

How To Introduce Yourself In A Job Interview And Win The Attention Of The Hiring Manager?

Often times it's hard for us to open up to others (even ourselves), therefore there is a simple technique you can use that I give in this podcast. It has 3 steps and it will be described in detail. 

Here are some steps you can use to help you to apply the method I am describing:

1. Write about all your qualities that are required for the job.
2. Mention your personal attributes, but do so without sounding arrogant by using phrases such as “I believe that…”, “I think that…” or “I consider myself to be a…”
3. Your self introduction must be accurate and honest.

Last but not least - 4. Keep it short and simple. Don’t try to show off your knowledge of vocabulary or grammar. The interviewer is interested in whether you can do the job, not what you know about English :)

These simple steps can potentially allow you to impress the interviewer and can give you an advantage over other candidates that haven't though it thoroughly.
