Mahmoud, you're welcome. The Arabic quote works just fine and it's easy to understand. It's the use of the word "literally" that is a bit of a problem. However, you did a really good job.

Daniel thank you for your awsome feedback and correction, Actually i strife with the the writting style even in araboc :)),your correction is really useful in that part.Regarding the last line correction actually
"A Buffalo In The Wheel" is an Arabic quote which means that your life is controlled by others,so it may seem strange because of different cultures.

Mahmoud, you did a really good job writing this, so I don't want you to get discouraged by all the edits that I made. Many of the edits have to do with style or are just to make things clearer.
For example, having a "main problem" and a "bigger problem" is a bit confusing. "27/12" is easy to understand but if you continue to use that format a date like "11/12" could mean two different dates. I'd also take a closer look at the last sentence. Unless you really are a buffalo that's walking in a real circle on the ground, your use of the word "literally" is incorrect.
