Lately, I noticed that everybody and everything around me is changing:
my old friends from school changed, my parents changed, my brothers changed, Amman changed, even the new friends changed!!

or maybe it’s me… i changed!

YES!! i don’t want to change! i liked myself the way I was… and i don’t want to change! but I admit that i am changing!! and there’s nothing that i can do about it! <img src='http://abeer.bayazidi.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /><br /> I just don’t understand!! if changing is good and healthy… why do i feel so bad about it?!</p> </div> <div class="feedback"> </div> </div> <h2 id="comments">7 Comments <a href="#postcomment" title="Leave a comment">»</a> </h2> <ol id="commentlist"> <li id="comment-111"> <p>u always need to change , u cant stay as u r , cuz u r not 100% , u would like to reach perfection so u need to be ina contiuous cycle of change , this is one of my thoughts and rules about life …… u fired it up in mind i will have a post about it soon !<br /> Cheeerz !</p> <p><cite>Comment by <a href='http://www.hotice130.blogspot.com/' rel='external nofollow'>Darwish Naji</a> — January 5, 2006 @ <a href="#comment-111">11:21 pm</a></cite> </p> </li> <li id="comment-114"> <p>Darwish, can’t wait to read your post <img src='http://abeer.bayazidi.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /></p> <p><cite>Comment by <a href='http://abeer.bayazidi.net' rel='external nofollow'>Abeer</a> — January 5, 2006 @ <a href="#comment-114">11:40 pm</a></cite> </p> </li> <li id="comment-118"> <p>Change!!<br /> Hmmmm … this is a very intensive and wide concept … and it is inevitable … so if you don’t change, everything else around you will and you will come to a point when you need to adapt or you will be extinct …<br /> I read some excellent books about change and I will recommend them for you:</p> <p>1- Who Moved My Cheese? - A book by Dr. Spencer Jhonson and such an excellent book it is .. it is a very short book and you will finish it over night, you can read more about it on (http://www.whomovedmycheese.com/)</p> <p>2- Fish - A book by Harry Paul, Harry Paul, John Christensen, Philip Strand, John Christensen. With this number of authors, you would think that it is a long book but the truth is, you can finish it in 2-3 days or less. This book tells a story about a business woman (manager) who changed the workplace around her and her whole team based on a success story of a fish market, so get the book and read it, I am sure you will enjoy it. You can read the story of the fish market on (http://www.pikeplacefish.com/)</p> <p>There are many books I can recommend for you but I will keep those till we meet <img src='http://abeer.bayazidi.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> <p>Don’t panic about the change that you are witnessing within yourself … it is all good and will make you a better person .. trust me on this one <img src='http://abeer.bayazidi.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /></p> <p><cite>Comment by <a href='http://anolita.jeeran.com/mind/' rel='external nofollow'>Khalidah</a> — January 6, 2006 @ <a href="#comment-118">12:55 am</a></cite> </p> </li> <li id="comment-124"> <p>That’s normal, everything keeps changing including people.

ppl are typically afraid of change coz they donno what’s comin their way.. how wud they deal with all the new issues, or, the same issues with a different perspective.. again.. there’s no such thing as right or wrong.. everyone knows what’s right n what’s wrong! so 3adi.. there’s nthn wrong with change.. but deep down inside.. u know yr the same person.. trust me on this one.</p> <p><cite>Comment by Sheepo — June 10, 2007 @ <a href="#comment-33743">12:23 am</a></cite> </p> </li> </ol> <p><a href='http://abeer.bayazidi.net/2006/01/05/changing-is-good-really/feed/'><abbr title="Really Simple Syndication">RSS</abbr> feed for comments on this post.</a> <a href="http://abeer.bayazidi.net/2006/01/05/changing-is-good-really/trackback/" rel="trackback">TrackBack <abbr title="Universal Resource Locator">URL</abbr></a> </p> <h2 id="postcomment">Leave a comment</h2> <form action="http://abeer.bayazidi.net/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform"> <p><input type="text" name="author" id="author" value="" size="22" tabindex="1" /> <label for="author"><small>Name </small></label></p> <p><input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="" size="22" tabindex="2" /> <label for="email"><small>Mail (will not be published) </small></label></p> <p><input type="text" name="url" id="url" value="" size="22" tabindex="3" /> <label for="url"><small>Website</small></label></p> <!--<p><small><strong>XHTML:</strong> You can use these tags: <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <code> <em> <i> <strike> <strong> </small></p>--> <p><textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="100%" rows="10" tabindex="4"></textarea></p> <p><input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" tabindex="5" value="Submit Comment" /> <input type="hidden" name="comment_post_ID" value="56" /> </p> </form> <!-- begin footer --> </div> <!-- begin sidebar --> <div id="menu"> <ul> <li id="recent-posts" class="widget widget_recent_entries"> Recent Posts <ul> <li><a href="http://abeer.bayazidi.net/2008/03/07/a-warmer-shade-of-grey/">A Warmer Shade Of Grey… </a></li> <li><a href="http://abeer.bayazidi.net/2008/01/26/76/">Generosity by all Means </a></li> <li><a href="http://abeer.bayazidi.net/2008/01/26/salam/">An Exceptional Talent </a></li> <li><a href="http://abeer.bayazidi.net/2006/09/18/leaving-on-a-hijazi-bus/">Leaving On A Hijazi Bus!
