I would personally say i will take back alots of knowledge, and experience. One experience that i will take back to my country will be you do not have to be president or some one in higher position to make difference in your community. Remember if you want to improve the enviroment around you, you must take action and ask people for help, becouse there are alots of people who may want to make a difference in their communities but are not as brave and as out spoke as you may be so let them know how you feel and tell them how important it is for you to improve your community and how their effort will mean great deal to you. Also remember to thank anyone who helps you during this and any process becouse we Somali poeple do not say thanks and show appriciation although we may feel appriciated in side the people who is effort is been apriciated must hear that from us so please let them hear it. We should also impresse and acknoledge our differences, becouse we are who we are and we had no say of who we were going to be and so we should not have say of who we are and who are the ppl around as. thank you |

i will take back a lot. i will take back pride and power. i am more experienced now and i know what the world is all about. i know that i have gained more knowledge of self. i become more practicing muslim, a very conscious african and very decent and caring human being.
i hate organizations and i like to dismantle them.
one thing i won't be fooled to join any and i will work to fight against them.
that is what i will take to somalia. it's not about my education cos there more educated pple in somalia right now. it's not my financial gains cos most somalis in mogadisho are richer than me.
i will go to the most beautiful place..that is merka adeey... and i will build an orphanage there..besides the beach.....i will try to develop, produce genious minds there.......
insha-allah..who will then help me dismantle so called powers that be |

Assalamu Aleykum
Thanx SYL for the intresting topic that you made up.
I'll take back more honesty and more sensitiviy toward to my peaple and my country. I gained education, but I also learned to be humble and hard worker.
I have also managed to learn more about the SOCIAL CONTRACT (and I believe that those things which cannot be divided, we can enjoy it in common) & HUMAN EQUALITY (Each person is as important as any other, and therefore everybody to count one, nobody for more than one).
I feel that I am more sensible and able to be trusted by the people, and able to understand feelings, problems and diversity of the peaple than I was 10 years ago.
I got to know more about the art of the reasoning and the social, political and legal philosophy.
I fully comprehend if man is to develop wholesomely, fulfill his needs (biological, social, intellectual, cultural), he must do so within social matrix.
I digested that the basic objective of the STATE is to prepare persons for a life of liesure in which man's highest good can be realized. A good GOVERMENT is one whose rulers seek the health, comfort and happiness of the people, whereas a corrupt goverment is one whose rulers devote themselves to private gain instead of public welfare.
I consistently recall that the good society depends upon the honesty and moral goodness of its persons, and good quality persons depend on the character of individual citizens. It is not necessarily the system of society itself which creates evil social condition, but its individualls who populate it.
Good peaple produce a good state, while corrupt peaple engender corrupt politics.
I believe that anyone who knows the right thing to do will do it. Wrong actions are committed only out of ignorance. A person fails to do what is right because he does not know what is right. No one will deliberately choose to do what is wrong, for an evil deed is always harmful to the self as well as to others. If people (Siad Barre and current Somali warlords) knew the real consequences of hating,lying, cheating, corrupting and other bad things, how damaging these activities are to themselves they would certainly avoid them.
I describe Justice as result of harmonious cooperation among individuals. Justice prevails only when each person assumes his responsable part in the society and contributes to it according to his good quality talents. Injustice results when each person vainly attempts to do what he has no talent, training, ability and right to do.
I learned to be a rational person rather than an emotional person (people must learn that they cannot trust their emotions in important matters, especially if they are decision makers for the society).
I support the art of moderation in all things. Extremes are always bad and non fair toward to others, especially to those who are poorer, less intelligent and powerless than you.
I strongly believe the fact that I am an educated person is not the matter of being smart or having better genes than non-educated people, but it is simply matter of that I was given an opportunity, to go to school and to learn things, by my parents. Therefore if I let every Somali child to get the same opportunity that I had, he or she can be like me or even better than me. So why don't fight for our children to have that chance? And after all we know that they are our future.
The most important thing that I achieved during my exiled period is that I got rid of QABIIL. Alhamdulilah.
And a lot of other positive things that would help our society...
