Regarding your future, would you consider yourself 0, very pessimistic?
Or 3, very optimistic?
I choose 1 as to Lebanon
I choose 1.5, I'm neither very optimistic nor very pessimistic
I'm in between
I'm in between because I'm not sure...
Even if I have my future planned I'm not sure if it will go accordingly
I also consider myself very optimistic
But, of course, I encounter difficulties throughout my life
- Yes, but at this point... - Yes, I'm very optimistic
I choose "optimistic"
If we really try hard enough...
If I am pessimistic today
Surely we won't reach the desired change in the country
There are many obstacles regarding this issue
I know many who have studied
yet their future wasn't bright
because life conditions were not favorable
or perhaps because they didn't work hard enough
I promise myself to work hard That, I promise my future and my community
I consider my future in Lebanon to be optimistic
As to my current situation in my job and the progress I'm achieving
But at the same time one cannot be very optimistic
for no one knows what future awaits him in this country
In my opinion, today's situation in the country is stable
In spite of everything being said hope still exists, as well as optimism
The security situation in the country is well
In fact, it's better than all neighboring countries
It's even better than the United States of America
after the shooting incident that led to 70 deaths
Not to mention Europe, acts of terrorism exist everywhere in general
Thanks to the Lebanese Army and the security institutions
our country's situation is going well
I don't think the world will witness a massive change in the future
as to what I have in mind after 50 years or so
I don't think the world will witness a massive change
I can't be over optimistic because...
It's possible that my plans won't be realized
I choose 2, very optimistic
- I'm always optimistic all the time - I'm also optimistic
but sometimes I think about some issues more than you do
- I'm the opposite - I'm more of a realistic person
For me, life goes on
Before, I had in mind this idealism concept
which used to tell me...
and that I can benefit humanity and will continue to do so
But I realized, in an unpleasant way that the world doesn't go the way I envision
It's such a hard path to cross
Do your parents worry about your future, yes or no?
- No, they're not worried about it - Professionally?
In general, they do worry about my future
Mine do not worry, why would they?
- You have a job and your future is set - Yes, but...
Plus, you are educated You manage to succeed in every situation
- Why would they worry? - Yes, but my future in general...
Of course they worry about their children's future
Mine are the exact opposite
Even they have no idea what my future holds
but I don't think they worry about that
Surely they do, just like other parents
it's normal to worry about their children
- My parents worry about marriage... - I think every girl faces this issue
For my parents marriage is essential for my future
- They tell me "Maya, watch out for that" - Because they think...
Because they put themselves in my place since they got married
Because they think that it's the purpose of life...
- True - Aside from your job and friends
Parents desire the best for their children, right?
This is the reason for their anxiety
They overthink about it
and about how life will turn out for them if it did happen
but eventually the choice lies in their hands
Of course, I think all parents think this way
everyone worries about their children's future
Yes...
Sometimes my mother doesn't sleep because of me
As she worries about the decisions I make or the steps I take
Eventually, it's your own decision No one can make it on your behalf
Even though they're anxious or not I can't speak for the others
Compared with your parents
Do you think your future will be better, worse or the same?
During the 30 past years the situation is still the same
We witnessed intermittent wars It's alright
Everyone complains but is doing fine, thank God
- I choose "worse", most probably - I choose "better"?
If you're thinking optimistically it will be better
- but I think it will be worse - It is good to be optimistic
- I choose "better" - I also choose "better"
- What about you? - Worse, way worse
- Then choose "the same" - As before?
I think it will be the same
I choose "better"
My parents used to work in South Lebanon my father worked there during the war
So, as opposed to nowadays...
compared with the times of war in the South
and what they went through it will definitely be better
Nothing is perfect in Lebanon
However, I hope and work hard to make my future better
because I realized that determination is of high importance
If one is determined to realize something then he must achieve it
My parents taught me to always be the best
So according to them I think I will get better
because they always guided me and helped me achieve the best
They didn't sacrifice to raise me well for me not to be better
I choose "better"
I choose "the same"
Anyone who lives with his parents certainly has the perfect life
I choose "better"
Maybe the same, but I hope it will be better
Compared with your life
Do you think your children's future will be the same, worse or better?
Everyone certainly hopes for their children to be...
They try hard for their children not to face the obstacles they had faced
Therefore I choose "better"
But if we couldn't do that... Who knows?
I certainly hope that my children's future will be better
but, even if it is the same as mine then that's alright
In my opinion, our childhood and our school and college days were beautiful
Thanks to my parents undoubtedly
If I can make my children live by the same standards as myself...
God willing
I hope that it will be better
I'll try my best for it to be better
If we were able to somewhat improve our society
and our demands from the government then, it could be better
I hope that it will be better, but nobody knows what will happen later on
I'm not sure... I'm not even sure if I will have children
If it was the same as mine, then that's great
According to the difficulties one might face
If the current situation goes on then it will be worse
- I will certainly choose "better" - I will too
We have to set an example for them
If I'm incapable of providing my children a better life
- then I don't want to get married - Yes, our lives will be dedicated to them
Love and affection aren't my only priorities
but also giving birth and providing them with a happy life
How will our children be raised? I'm not even sure how life would be then
If the issues of overpopulation and poverty go on
as well as pollution I don't know what might happen
But when it comes to education and technology and such...
