A little lesson about me... In my high school days, while I consistently aced the Sciences and Math subjects, I was abysmal in the languages - English, French and Arabic.
So my mom thought of a remedy, her friend, who was my English teacher in elementary school. She was enlisted to teach me the nuances of English so that I may pass (yes! I failed my first - and only - English exam at high school).
This was a conversation on one occassion:
Teacher: "You are like your father. Both of you are very smart, technically very brilliant in science. However both of you lack something. The word starts with I" (PS: I am being liberal in the use of "very brilliant" - It's my blog, my prerogative)
Me: "You mean inventive?"
Teacher: "No..."
Me: "Intelligent? Ingenuity??"
Teacher: "No... No..."
I try a few more... which was good... since I actually came up with words in English. Finally all exasperated by my incompetence in English, I say:
Me: "What is it - I give up!!!"
Teacher: "Imagination"
Me: "Ahhh... yes - I lack imagination"
Hence the brevity and lack of creativity of my blogs...
