Pronunciation of é, è et ê

Impersonal verbs are verbs that do not use a specific subject, but instead use the generic subject it. They’re often called “weather verbs” or “meteorological verbs” because they’re commonly used to describe the weather, like in the impersonal verb examples “it’s raining” or “it’s snowing.” 

 Words and phrases with asterisks mean that they are not always impersonal, depending on the meaning.

قَرَارَات الحَيَاة غَالِبًا بِتْشَكِّل صُورِة المُسْتَقْبَل.
وكِل قَرَار بْيِحْمِل عَوَاقِب, سوَاءًا كَان لَفَتْرَة قَصِيرَة أو طَوِيلِة.
القَرَارَات الصَعْبِة بِتْقَوِي وبِتْزِيد صَلَابِة الشَخْصِيِة.
بس بَعض القَرَارَات بْتِطَلَّب تَضْحِيِة بَس مُمْكِن تْأَدِّي للنُمُو.
مُوَازَنِة المَنْطِق و المَشَاعِر هي مُفْتَاح أَخْد القَرَارَات الصَحِيحَة. 
ومو عَيب لو الإِنْسَان طَلَب نَصَائِح مِن أَشْخَاص عِنْدهُم خِبْرَة أَكْبَر.
عَلَى كُلِّ, كِل قَرَار, صْغِير أو كْبِير, بِيسَاهِم فِي تَطْوِير النَفْس
Life decisions mostly shape the future's image.
every decision carries consequences, it was either for a short or a long period.
The difficult decisions strengthen and increase the personality toughness.
But some decisions demand sacrifice but they may lead to growth.
Balancing the logic and the emotions are the key for making the correct decisions.
and it’s not a shame if the person requested advice from people who have more experience.
However, every decision, small or big, contributes to self improvement.
