Cogito

Cogito

Most of us quote René Descartes on his Cogito, ergo sum - I Think, therefore I am. So? What does it really mean and what am I referring to by using the term Cogito?

As per the Merriam Webster dictionary, Cogito represents the intellectual processes of the self.

Hence in this section, I include a first series on financial awareness by presenting complex concepts in a simple and accessible way. I additionally contemplate daily situations in "This And That". Starting January 2021, my FB campaign of “How Can I Help You” is now also published here and advertised on social media. Curious enough to know more? Feel free to read and comment :)

January 29. Quaintrelle

2020/01/29

It's a Wednesday evening.

After a long day at work, I can't wait to be home.

I just want to sit and let my mind wander...

January 28. Stammtisch

2020/01/28

Jetzt schreibe ich mal auf Deutsch.

Mal sehen, wie es raus kommen wird...

Bitte Verständnis dafür haben, dass ich schon sehr lange nichts auf Deutsch geschrieben habe :)

January 27. Friendship

2020/01/27

As I start my week, I am simply grateful to all my friends, who are always supportive and just a phone call away.

I am truly blessed and thankful to each one of you!

January 26. The Black Mamba

2020/01/26

It's a shock.

Kobe Bryant just passed away with his daughter Gianna.

What a loss...

January 25. Chinese New Year

2020/01/25

It's time once more for celebrations that last a fortnight... not the game, the number of days!

January 24. Road Repairs

2020/01/24

It's wintertime. And it has been raining heavily in the past couple of days.

Our infrastructure lacks maintenance and proper outlines in general.

Here is what happened today...

January 23. The Piano

2020/01/23

Music.

What an elevated way to reach the soul!

And some instruments, ah...

January 22. Wanderlust

2020/01/22

It's time.

Again.

To plan for some traveling...

January 21. Moon Hours

2020/01/21

Sometimes I ride out at night and try to immerse myself in the mysteries of the skies, away from people and light pollution.

In those moments, the moon looks sort of magical...

January 20. Birthday Dinner

2020/01/20

My friend wanted to take me out on my birthday.

I said yes. And so we met in Ashrafieh after we both finished our sports training.

Read on for the review of the dinner.

January 19. My 2020 Vision Board

2020/01/19

It's my birthday.

I'm turning 42 today. Yey!

What special activity can I undergo today?

January 18. House Deco

2020/01/18

True. I am interested in beautifying spaces.

No. I didn't study architecture or interior design. I almost did and then went for something totally unrelated.

What I actually found out about decorating my home, which is an ongoing project still, is that I enjoy it and that my visitors mostly want to know more about my ideas...

January 17. Writing

2020/01/17

This evening, I let my mind wander. And I end up thinking about... writing.

Quite interesting. I don't write professionally. I haven't written an academic paper in ages now.

So what about my writing activities?

January 16. Astrophotography... And A Calendar

2020/01/16

I met Maroun Habib, aka Moophz, in 2019 to buy his Astrophotography calendar.

This highly talented artist is actually a cyber security specialist by day and an astrophotographer, obviously, by night.

It is important to note that he was featured twice in 2018 on NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day.

January 15. Sa3ed or Helping Out

2020/01/15

Talking with a friend about the current situation in Lebanon made me realize that I wanted to do something more concrete for my people.

Yes, I do consider myself a Lebanese, even if I can't hold a Lebanese passport.

And it pains me to see how much suffering there is around us. That's how tossing ideas back and forth got me to this initiative that will be hopefully launched soon.
