Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: job offer from SAUDI ARABIA
Just as a coin has two side, every thing has two sides - I'd say - good and
bad.
What you are is determined by your behaviour
Your behaviour is determinied by your surroundings - be it parents ,
friends or foes.
Similarly, what a nation is determined by its ruler and its neighbours.
So, It largely depends on our attitude - how we take it.
As, one poet says -
"Our attitude determines our altitude in life"
So, to sum it up - if you are going to make a living from Saudi - then you have to trust them and befriend them and respect them - and you will get respected..
I can keep writing like this on and on - but.... I think I'll stop here..
Bye now,
Rajaram.

reality check.
Consider the poignant implications of the recent anniversary of the Oklahoma city terrorism.
The simple fact is that a very high percentage of professional women that have jobs like real estate sales requiring isolated contact with strangers *are* armed (as you state, many with "boutique" designer guns). it is because they have been assaulted or threatened, or are close to women that have told vivid stories of such.
Employees at this campus are required to take *mandatory* "campus violence" workshops now. Last year a professor was severly beaten by some petty thieves after leaving a night class about 2 minutes walk from my office. Several years ago, someone held an admission counselor hostage at gun point in the building I work in. The person was upset that they weren't admitted to the university.
regards,
