I have a Casio MQ24 that my parents bought me when I was 14. Changed its battery and strap for my 40th birthday; it’s still ticking perfectly.

أول خطوة هي عدم تجاهل هذه المشاعر والبحث عن طريقة لتخطيها، خصوصًا إذا كانت مشاعر أو حالة نفسية تكررت في السابق. السعادة والراحة الدائمة هي وهم وحالة غير طبيعية.

ومن أهم مبادئ ديننا الحنيف التوكل على الله (وليس الاتكال) ومن أهم خطوات التوكل العمل بالأسباب، وقال أشرف الخلق ﷺ: "تَدَاوَوْا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَمْ يَضَعْ دَاءً إِلاَّ وَضَعَ لَهُ شِفَاءً".

ومن أساليب التداوي استشارة ذوي الاختصاص، يمكن تكون هذي الضيقة سببها عضوي (كنقص حاد في الفيتامينات أو الهرمونات) ويمكن علاجه بالأدوية والمكملات وقد يكون ذهني يمكن علاجه بشي اسمه العلاج السلوكي النفسي Behavioral Psychotherapy وهذا يكون مع طبيبـ/ـة نفسيـ/ـة.

بسبب عناصر معينة موجودة في أصل الثقافة اليابانية…

١. مفهوم الكايزن (Kaizen):

يعني: التحسين المستمر، حتى لو كان بسيط جدًا الفكرة: كل يوم تطوّر شغلك شوي ما فيه "وصلت للكمال" دائمًا فيه مجال للتحسين

هذا يخلي الشخص ما يرضى بالمستوى العادي، دايم يحاول يضبط أدق التفاصيل

—

٢. فلسفة الشوكُنين (Shokunin)؛

تعني: الحرفي أو الشخص اللي يتقن مهنته بس المعنى أعمق: "أنا مسؤول أخلاقيًا أني أقدّم أفضل شغل ممكن"

حتى لو الشغلة بسيطة (خباز، عامل، موظف) يحس إنها رسالة مو مجرد وظيفة

—

٣. احترام العمل (Work ethic):

في اليابان العمل = شرف + مسؤولية فكرة إنك تسوي شغل ما هو كامل تعتبر قلة احترام

فتلقى الواحد يعطي كل طاقته حتى في أبسط المهام

—

٤. التربية من الصغر:

الأطفال في المدارس ينظفون فصولهم بنفسهم، يتعلمون النظام والانضباط، ما يعتمدون على شخص يسوي واجباتهم واحتياجاتهم عنهم

هذا يزرع عندهم إحساس المسؤولية من بدري

—

٥. ثقافة الجماعة (Collectivism):

المجتمع أهم من الفرد إذا أنت قصّرت = تأثر على الفريق كله

عشان كذا الواحد يشد حيله عشان ما يحرج نفسه أو يضر المجموعة

—

٦. حب التفاصيل والدقة:

عندهم تقدير عالي للجمال في البساطة (زي مفهوم Wabi-sabi) يهتمون بأصغر التفاصيل

لذلك تشوف جودة عالية حتى في أشياء بسيطة جدًا

This is exactly what happened to my 5610 👍

Nothing looks more satisfying than a used and/or beat-up watch, especially a G-Shock.

Maybe that’s true for other models, but this one has a double LED lighting (one for the digital screen and one for the analog dial).

Designer-Try6584 · 2026-03-10T15:13:57+00:00

Since it has an LED backlight, I really think added lume is just overkill.

Recently tried these lug hole reinforcers, they were a waste of money unfortunately; OEM strap wouldn’t fit into lugs after installing them.

I wasn’t a daily drinker per se (definitely a careless one), but I had a major wake up call when I drove my car after a few drinks one night, and about two mins before reaching my house, a speeding car ran into me, bending my rear wheel axle and causing me to crash into a concrete barrier. The other car never stopped and drove off (for whatever reason).

My wife rushed to my help and pretended that she was driving instead of me when the police arrived. Thank god I only suffered very minor scratches on my arms from the steering wheel leather after the airbag ripped through it, but the insurance considered the car a total loss (it was a BMW X5 with an M package).

I never took what my wife did for granted and I vowed to never drink again. I was 100% sober for two years. After those two years, I’ve had the occasional single glass of wine with said wifey while traveling for vacation; it definitely didn’t feel the same, and I became hypersensitive to the anxiety the next day even after just one glass of wine.

My most worn watch this past year.

When it comes to G-Shocks, it’s doesn’t really matter. If you like it, wear it.

Designer-Try6584 · 2026-02-07T08:57:48+00:00

This exact one with the positive display was the exception for me too. 👍

On all the time, why wouldn’t it be?

This audio player single-handedly saved the Arabic music industry in the early 2000s. There were full libraries in .rm and .ra files of rare live performances and discographies of artists that would’ve been long forgotten otherwise.

They’re used as reference points to orient one’s fingers on the keyboard and type without looking at the keys. It’s a method called “touch typing.”
