Development Hindrances!

Three impediments to development stand against development process in our country; unfortunately they are in our daily life talk.

The first impediment is be satisfied with your current status comparing to your past. Mirroring this to campus life, you see some students saying, "Why doesn't the King Saudi University open up new colleges for engineering, mass communication, and political sciences for girls?" The reply is "Be satisfied with the College of Law !" in an allusion to make an accomplishment big in a cunning way!"

The second hindrance is shirking responsibilities. One says, "What I am supposed to do with this!" "None of my business!"  This is the deadliest snag in a civilized, fledging society like ours. It makes you going in for shirking responsibilities in life. This is really terrible! For example, on campus, students say, "Hey guys! What about making books tidy?!" The reply is, "What have we got to do with this?! However, the deadliest repercussion of this is hindering one work team spirit.

The third impediment is "Be patient!" Frankly speaking, it creates a feeling of false satisfaction of social status and backs up process of non-change.

However, these hindrances might turn into objective motives, if remedied properly.
