The Best Quality of Me



Today, I gathered the courage to ask the people closest to me what one quality I have that they wish they had. Here are their answers:

“Your ability to write.” This came from my younger sister. She loves writing and looks up to me as her role model, although I don’t think I’m that good. The first answer I received was about my writing abilities. This made me feel both happy and sad. People often tell me they love how I write and tell stories, so I started to wonder if the people closest to me don’t truly know who I am, and that’s why they like the fictional version of me.

“You have a lot of qualities I adore, girl. I don’t even know which one to choose for today, but I’ll go with how you know what you want and go after it. You have this free, independent spirit, doing things your own way, and I love that about you.” This response came from my best friend, Sagal. She is one of the closest people in my life. I knew she’d answer like this because she always tells me how much she loves my free spirit, and I always tell her the same. “I don’t live for rules. I am my own rules.” This made me feel content with myself. Being independent and free-spirited comes with some consequences, but I don’t mind.

“Sida quruxda badan ee maskaxdaadu qorshaha iyo waqtiga u manage garaysid.” My other best friend, Samira, gave this third answer. It means, “I would love to have your beautiful ability to manage time.” I often get complimented on my time management skills, and I hate when people don’t respect others’ time, which is why I don’t have many friends.

“Writing and imagination.” The fourth answer came from someone close to me. He knows me so well, and hearing him say he wishes he had my writing ability and imagination made me happy.

“I love your coolness, dear, and how you mind your business.” The fifth answer was from a good friend of mine, Aisha.

“I wish I had a clear mind and set goals like you when I was your age.” The sixth response came from Maamiina, my mom’s twin.

These six people told me some wonderful things about myself, and though their answers were quite similar, they made me reflect. In conclusion, it seems my best quality is my writing, so I better keep writing some good stuff, or I’ll be nothing! 😂

I challenge you to ask the same with your closest people and see what they say!

QORRAX MADOOBAAD

Image
Qorraxdii baa madoobaatay dhulkii baa mugdiyoobay. Qof walbaa waxa uu u cararay wixii uu aaminsanaa. Kii muslin ahaa, aayado quraan ah iyo salaad buu tawakulay. kii kiristan ahaana kaniisadda ayuu miciin biday. Hooyadii ilmaheeda dhallaanka ah dhabta ku haysatay waxa ay gargaar bidday duco ay afka ku boobtay. Wax walbaa waxa ay galeen xaalad hubanti la’aan ah marka la ga reebo xaalka Magan.  Waxa uu si qummaati ah u cabbayaa koobkiisa qaxwaha ah. Dadkii agagaarkiisa joogay waa ay kala cararayaan, isaga oo aan kala jeclayn in dunidu hadda dhammaato iyo in ay sii jirto ayuu xabbad sigaar ah jeebka kala soo baxayaa. “Tolow haddii hadda koonka la laabo ka warran?” Ayuu isa su’aalayaa. Isla isaga ayaa isu jawaabaya. “Oo maxaa iga dhex yaalla oo aan labadaydaas calal ee aan huwanahay ahayn?” “Miyaadan aakhiro ka baqayn, nin u shaqaystayna kuguma ogiye?” “Waxa aan ogahay in aysan xaalka aan maanta ku jiro marna ka xumaanayn.”  Sharqartii ayaa kala yaraatay, isaga iyo kursigii caagga ...

Awoodda filimada: iyo Sida ay u qaabeeyaan Bulshada.

Filimadu waa sida muraayad oo kale, waxa ay ina tusaan xaqiiqooyin aad u xanuun badan, kuwaas oo laga yaabo in aan jeclaan lahayn in aan iska indho-tirno. Muuqaalkaan aan wada daawannay wuxuu xasuusin u yahay sida filimadu aysan kaliya u ahayn madadaalo, balse ay yihiin aalad xoog badan oo lagu muujiyo xanuunka taariikhda, lagu kiciyo dareenka bulshada, laguna hogaamiyo doodo qoto dheer. (Hotel Rwanda: The hutu arrive scene) Filimada aan daawanno ma ahan oo kaliya sheekooyin, ama madadaalo, waa aalad dib u qaabayn karta aragtideenna, waxay furi karaan indhahayaga, waxayna xitaa beddeli karaan sida aan u fahamno dunida nagu xeeran. Hotel Rwanda (2004): oo la sameeyay 10 sano kadib xasuuqii foosha xumaa ee Rwanda ka dhacay ayaa ah Markhaati Taariikheed oo cid walbaa dib u daalacan karto.  Filimkaan  waxa uu xambaarsan yahay xusuus kharaar oo taariikhda ah. Wuxuu dib noogu celinayaa xasuuqii Rwanda ee 1994, wuxuuna ina tusayaa sida hal qof – Paul Rusesabagina – uu u noqday badbaa...

Talooyin ku anfici kara

GACALO waxa aan kuu wadaa dhawr qodob oo ku anfici kara;  1. Nolosha adduunku waxa ay noqotay mid maslaxad ku dhisan. Xiriirada badankoodu waxa ay noqdeen kuwa dan ku dhisan haddii ay yihiin kuwa saaxaabtinimo, kuwa jacayl iyo kuwa qoysba. La how wax dadku kuugu soo hirtaan, sidoo kalana adigu ku dooro dadka kale hadba waxa ay kugu kordhinayaan.  2. Haddii aad ku jirta da’da qaan-gaadhnimada ama labaatanyeedaba waxa aad haysataa fursad wayn. Fursad ay fududahay in ay si fudud ku gu dhaafto adiga oo aan ka faa’iidaysan. Ka lahow nolosha qorshe cad, si’aadan hadhow u wareerin. Baro xirfad, kaa caawinaysa in aad nolosha horay ugu socoto. 3. Ka gudub xayn daabka maxay dadka kale iga aaminayaan. Anigaa kuu sheegaya, wax macno ah kuma fadhido waxa ay dadka kale kaa aamini doonaan. Cidina kuma xasuusnaan doonto, marna ha isaga dayn, qorshe aad lahayd, shaqo aad bilaabi lahayd ama qof aad dooran lahayd dadku sida ay kuu arki doonaan.  4. Marna hadde waa marna ha ka baqin in aad h...
