Being one of those who are easily captured by words to go beyond the horizon and to see the other way around, I was captured by the title of the movie " A Beautiful Mind" even more than the story. It seemed to me not related at the beginning; how they use the word "beautiful" to describe a " mind". It lead me to the question; " What is a beautiful mind?". Knowing that it was not only a title, it was also about the true story of John Nash, the Princeton University mathematician who shared the 1994 Nobel Prize for his work in economics along with Reinhard Selten and John Harsany and who suffered to survive after a mental disease with the help of his supportive wife, it added to me a new vision to the title. It is not merely to be told, it is a life to live. My Aha moment came when the couples, Nash and his wife, died in a car accident and I read what Crew, staring Nash in the movie, tweeted: “Stunned…my heart goes out to John & Alicia & family. An amazing partnership. Beautiful minds, beautiful hearts.”. Here I am starting a new journey in life with " Beautiful Minds" and " Beautiful Hearts."
The time we passed in our lives is not only measured by minutes and hours. It is also measured by number of the "Aha moments'' you capture. One " Aha Moment" can be enough to change your life if only you will go truly for your aha and defending the moment.
The Journey I am starting is all about " Active Learning", still I can see something bigger hidden to go for and catch.
The word " Sawaed" in Arabic was enough to let you into the mood. It means literally "arms" and it is the plural form but the cultural connotation of the word is really strong and rich. It signifies "power emerged from united efforts" and it is a symbol of " Constructing a value."
My Aha Moment (1)
Beautiful Minds and hearts can change Nations only if " United powerfully to construct."...
