Addicted to the Fourth

    Most of the 90s generation people grew up watching motorsport races and almost everyone loved them. None of that generation denies the acquaintance of Michael Schumacher, neither do I. Those races required qualified and trained drivers, extremly high speed and precise timing, and most of all, a track to be performed on. Nevertheless, our topic is not going to about motorsport races or professional races, yet it is going to be about those who drive ridiculously fast outside the track. To be more precise, the topic is about my father!

   My father's driving can be split into two parts: insanely fast and reckless. For the first part, I remember when he bought a Fiat nine years ago; the car had a power of fourty-five hourse power --that is it cannot exceet the speed of 140 km/h-- but my glorious father made it go for 160 km/h. I should also mention the next car, a brand new Peugeot, that father drove at the speed of more than 180 km/h. You might be wondering now what the title has to do with all of this, right? To make it clear, padre always has one hand on the steering wheel and another on the shifting gear waiting for the right moment to shift to the fourth gear. He always shifts to the fourth whether he is in downtown or on the highway. Briefly, he cannot drive for at least a hundred meters without shifting to the fourth gear.

    His other side of driving, the reckless side, have almost got us killed more than once. Dear daddy always passes cars in either way possible just not to be held for even few seconds --this also brings out his addiction to the fourth. The prominent memories where I said hello to "death" and got back are the ones of our road trip to Oran and in Oran. The first happened in Tenes. We were driving normal, insanely fast normal, until we were blocked by a tractor. Paps hit the horn many times then tried to overtake the tractor on the right. On that very moment, we were faced with a car coming straight to us, suddenly two loud sounds struck, marks of tyres were left behind on the asphalt, and a smell of clutch and brakes covered the air. Thankfully, the collision was avoided. The second incident was merely the same as the first. Me, my mother, and my father were near Oran in the Sheraton Hotel at a round-shaped turn before us was a new driver, which was indicated on the rear windshield with a sign, driving slowly. Father, as usual, tried to overtake him and the same results as of Tenes happened. Believe me, it was too close!

    I think the addiction that my father has might be contageous or inherent. If it is a contageous disease, then I picked it; and if it is inherent , I believe I've discovered it in my genes. In both ways I have the same as my parent has.

    It has been almost three years since i've got my driving license. Each day, I am becoming more and more similar to my oldman in the way of driving. I also can't wait to shift gears and accelerate to get away from trafic quickly. Yet I appreciate cars more as means of transport and as art under the hood which differentiates me from my parent. I love to hear the clear, loud and nosiy sound of an engine nad love to take care of it so it won't get sick later. I thought I resemble to oldman , but the fact that I appreciate art and take care of it made me realize  I am not like him at all.

    In the end, I wrote this essay upon an observation I've always had on my father's hand waiting on the shifting gear to shift to his beloved "fourth gear." After having written it, I explored that I have unconsciously inserted a moral that says: rush always leads to serious outcomes, such as denting your car. And consider always that death one of the outcomes.

Why Is The Galaxy S3 Better Than The IPhone 4S?

    Nowadays, the pride of young people, as much as for the old, has become samrtphones. The increasing demand on smartphones has motivated two big manufacturers to make two huge products on the market right now, the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Apple IPhone 4S. From the same previous point we get to the question of which is better. First, the IPhone 4s is square shaped identical to the same shape of its predecessor, the IPhone 4. While, the Galaxy S3 has developed the design into a curved shape as we didn’t see in the S2. Both devices are touchscreen; the Samsung has a screen of 4.8 inch, while the Apple has a 3.8 inch.  The S3 is 0.8 centimiter thick, otherwise the 4S is one centimiter. Second, the prices differ according to the brand which makes a great difference and a remarkable competition in the market. The 4S is more expensive than the S3 with more than thirty dollars; its applications are more costly as well, most of them are purchasable unlike the free apps of the S3. Finally, the Galaxy works under the Android platform, which is much better than the IOS of the IPhone in the matters of simplicity, security, and efficiency.

Leadership, good or bad character?

         Leadership is the fact that people like, want, and fight for the first place or "the head". I have that character for years; sometimes it has led me for serious troubles and sometimes for the pleasure of victory, but untill now I still ask my self: "is my sens of leadership good or bad?". First, in the three years of high school I was the delegate of the class and even for the whole classes of my equal year. Acting like a leader in school made teachers, the administration, and pupils like me; in brief I was very popular. Second, when I was a little child I used to lead my "peaceful gang" in the wilds of Bordj-Okhriss. We hunted snakes, jumped from cliffs, ran in valleys, and wrestled like the WWE; we were fearless. So, when we come after a long day I used to take the blame and the slaps from my uncles, while the other kids go safely to their houses. Finally, people like me who have this character get either satisfying or disappointing consequences from it, and no third option is available. Keeping "the spirit of the head" in nowadays is confusing me very much because I am not able to analyse and characterize leadership whether it is a good thing or not.

An Exciting Dish

         



            Rfiss is an arousing traditional delight to make. Before starting with how can you make it, you should know the ingrediants; they are flour, water, salt, yeast (in order to prepare the basis of the dish), minced dates, and country butter. You may also need a piece of clothes and a smasher, steel bat. First, you have to prepare a thick oil-free Kessra. After letting your foundation cools down, bring the piece of clothes and cover Kessra with it. Then, start smashing the bread with the smasher untill you have small pieces as the size of a raisin. In a pan melt the butter, and mix it with the minced dates. When you have a complete brown mixture blend it with the smash. Finally, pour some melted country butter on it for a better taste. It is very delicious especially if served with Lben, and what makes it exceptional is that it is served just in certain occasions as in welcoming spring or guests.

The Key of Success

         



          Success, the goal that everyone wants to achieve, requires some specific steps. Foremost, if you want to succeed, you must have a clear vision of your purpose .Next, you need a great volition in order to realize what you want because where there is a will, there is a way .That is why, someone said, “The difference between a successful person and others is not in the lack of strength, not in the lack of knowledge, but in the lack of will.”.After that, it is recommendable to write your purpose down. Another important factor to succeed is to believe in your abilities. Confidence is the companion of success because if you do not believe in your capacities, do not be surprised if no one else does.Moreover, you have to be positive and think in success rather than thinking in failure because all your thoughts have a great effect on your mind. Then nothing can be realized with just these things. You have to take concrete actions, work hard, and be perseverant. That is why, every story of success entails hours of work, and those who have succeeded maintain that success is directly linked to work. At the end, failure is not the enemy of success ,but it is something very important to reach it .So, if you want to succeed, you need to make mistakes and fail several times because from these stumbles that you learn. For instance, Edison, the inventor of the lamp, had tried his innovation ninety nine times until he could succeed. Edison did not despair from these multiple experiences, but he considered them as a support to find the exact way of making a lamp’s working. Indeed, having a purpose and working to reach it make your life tasty, so enjoy this taste by realizing your dreams!

House Music

              According to Dictionary.com, House Music is:"an up-tempo style of disco music characterized by deep bass rhythms, with elements of rap music". This definition does not show the reality of this type of music. House Music is a contemporary genre, which depends on the DJ, the mixer, who makes mixes, which are called also music tracks with just a little of singing; it can be Rap, pop, hip-hop, and not just Rap as the site's definition says.

The tunes are made of defferent sounds, starting from instruments to electro sounds. These sounds are combined by a board that is called The Mixing Board. The reaons that singing has just a little share is that house songs publicize the music, the DJs, and not the artists. The most famous Djs in the world now are David Guetta, Avicii, Tièsto, Afrojack, Swedish House Mafia and Eduard Maya. Since this music was brought to the world, discos and dance clubs are full because of the efforts of the great DJs.

The Straight Way to a man's heart

            Men's satisfaction was almost an impossible goal that no female reached before, but women has figured out more than a direct way to a man's heart. Is it true? Some people say that cooking is the most successful way to please us by making our prefered dishes and arting them up with all the means, like the look and the smell because they are the façade and the appetite openers of any person, or just because men love food and it is the only thing they care about, women found the weakness and have used it well. Others say that understanding, compassionating, obeying and loving are the secrets to win the precious treasure that Mohammed peace be upon him mentioned in his sayings. That way can be accomplished by much caring about the husband and delivering everything he needs, or in brief words "do not say no to him". But in my personal opinion i say that we have to mix between these two, a little amount of artistic cooking and another one of loving, in order to get a big place in males' hearts.
