SMART Tales: Crafting Global Solutions through Creative Narratives
Blog 1 - February 16, 2024
In the initial exploration of the Technopreneurship 101 course, we engaged with the inaugural video featured on the Center for Entrepreneurship & Technology's Facebook page. The video emphasizes the establishment of a self-learning environment, fostering student engagement through hands-on experiences. In this setting, the instructor facilitates direct interaction with problems, empowering students to make independent decisions and learn through real-world competition dynamics.

On our first group activity, we were assigned to present ES 302 Game 1, where the team members underwent the 3-12-3 Brainstorm, 5 Why's, and Plus/Delta activities centered on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which target the resolution of pressing global challenges such as poverty and inequality by the year 2030. After exchanging ideas and perspectives, we decided to focus on SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, which mainly focused on the problem "Excessive Plastic Waste Generation: Why Does This Happen?" that is relevant to our community and which we believe is applicable to our program, which is Mechanical Engineering.
Following careful consideration, implementing a comprehensive strategy that includes regulatory measures, consumer education, support for sustainable business practices, circular economy initiatives, and stakeholder collaboration is critical to addressing the root causes of excessive plastic waste and encouraging responsible consumption and production in the local community.

Furthermore, our lecturer suggested that we take the Myers & Briggs Personality Test, an online tool for identifying individual personality types. This test was not simple, but it helped me understand my personality. I was categorized as an INFJ-A. This classification spoke to me strongly since it emphasizes characteristics such as introversion, intuition, feeling, and judgment. Many INFJs believe that their lives have a special purpose—a mission that they were born to complete. For them, one of the most satisfying aspects of life is seeking out this purpose and then attempting to fulfill it.
"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them to become what they are capable of being."-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Tumblr media
Beginning the first week of this course was like walking into a whirlwind, seeking not only a thorough understanding of technopreneurship but also the cultivation of an imaginative mentality to handle community concerns. I am doubly motivated to use my engineering knowledge, although the weight of this undertaking appeared to be like a huge mountain. Still, within the challenges, a thrill and sense of oneness emerged, established through teamwork and the collaboration of our diverse journeys.

Imagine this:
Hello! Have you ever heard of a "city of the dead"?
Tumblr media
It's a place where the living reside, but they're dead! They're doomed to die, either quickly through direct targeting or slowly due to the absence of vitality in their city
Wherever you turn, you find nothing but death, displacement, homelessness, destruction, hunger, thirst, ignorance, disease, and rampant infection.
It's my city! It was fully with life until the butchers passed through it! Since the beginning of the massacres, I've been struggling to save myself and my family.
I am Mohammed from Gaza I’m sharing my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has already given us so much strength.
a 31-year-old living amidst the war in Gaza, a place deeply affected by conflict and hardship. I hold a Bachelor degree in Medical Laboratory Sciences , I graduated with very good But Unfortunately, I did not get a job opportunity.
my family
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Before the outbreak of war, my family and I had a comfortable life in our beautiful home filled with cherished memories. However, since the conflict began, our lives have been turned upside down. We now find ourselves living in a small tent, exposed to the harsh elements and constant threat of violence.
Our home, which once embraced us, is now destroyed It became a remembrance
👉 Watch the video
A picture of me and my family in front of our destroyed house.
Tumblr media
👉Our house was bombed in the 2008 escalation and we built it, and also in the 2014 escalation the house was destroyed again and we rebuilt it, and in this 2023/2024 war the house was also destroyed.
Every time we start again, the Israeli occupation destroys us again
Life is unbearable. It has become hell for us. destruction, no education, no future
We can't stand it anymore
The situation here is dire. Food and basic necessities are scarce, and famine and malnutrition have become rampant. Our lives are hanging by a thread, and we fear for the safety and well-being of our children every single day.
The cost of living here has become extremely high. All of our resources are going towards securing food and trying to escape from disaster, desperately seeking a lifeline.
We are yearning to escape this nightmare and rebuild our lives in a safe place.
However, the cost of traveling to a safer area was beyond our means.
Each ticket cost $5000 per person,
a sum that was impossible for us to bear. Now, the border crossing is closed, and things continue to worsen.
We want to collect donations to leave Gaza if the crossing opens
That's why I am reaching out to you, dear friends. Your generosity and compassion can make all the difference for me and my family. Your donations will enable us to flee this war-torn region and start anew, away from the horrors of conflict and instability.
How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:
$5 may seem small, but for us, it’s a little relief, a moment of comfort, and a reminder that kindness still exists. ❤️
Can’t donate? Reblog this post to help us reach someone who can. Every share matters more than you know.
✅️Vetted by @gazavetters , my number verified on the list is ( #533 )✅️

With all my love and gratitude
Mohammed and family

hey let's have this conversation again since the like/reblog ratio is getting SOOOO much worse. if you like content, reblog it. the people who follow you cannot see when you've liked a post, unless your likes are visible and they are routinely going through them, which i assure you they are not. by reblogging content, you are making it visible to other accounts. fanart, gifs, edits, etc. may be fun to make but they are very time consuming and it is much appreciated that if you enjoy them, you take the brief moment to reblog them to show that appreciation - and it helps. as fun as they may be, it is often kind of discouraging for posts to not do well because for every one person that reblogged it, five left a like and kept it pushing

⌞friday night, 6:54pm ⌝
You had just finished getting ready for a night out with your friends, checking your phone every five minutes to see how far away your uber was. Once you got the notification that your ride has arrived you jumped up, nearly running out of the house. Your wife grabbed you by the arm, stopping you just before you reach the door.
"You forgetting something, doll?" Raising her eyebrows at you eagerness to leave.
"Oh sorry, babe," you stand on the tips of your toes, bringing your lips to hers.
When you pull away you give her a sweet smile, before turning on your heel and running out of the house. You glance back just before you hop in the car, waving at Sevika standing at the door.
"Update me regularly, please," the way she says it almost makes it sound like a question, but you know better than to assume she was asking. She was expecting you, telling you, to update her every now and then.
"Will do, love you!" You yelled your response at her from across the front yard, blowing her a kiss as you finally sat down and closed the car door.
⌞7:24pm⌝
It took about half an hour to get to the designated restaurant. Your friends spotted you from across the room once you arrived and went inside, ushering you over to your seat where you see they've already ordered some appetisers for the table. It feels like forever since you've seen them and it will probably be a while until you see them again, so you saver every hug from them as you go around the table.
You sit down and immediately get bombarded with questions about your life, you take some food as you answer all of their questions.
Once all of you had had your fill, you went up to the bar to order the first round of drinks. One round soon turned into two, then three, and once it got to four you suggested a bar hop. And when you actually found your second bar of the night, every second round of drinks signalled the trek to a new bar. However long the walk may be.
⌞10:13pm⌝
By this time it was about quarter past ten, and you only realised once you checked the time that you hadn’t been doing the thing that you promised to do. Update Sevika on the going ons of the night. She really doesn’t ask for much, truly, as she states in the multiple messages displayed at the bottom of your lock screen.
7:34pm
╰┈➤ Did you get there safe, baby?
8:06pm
╰┈➤ How’s it going?
9:03pm
╰┈➤ Baby
╰┈➤ Missed call
╰┈➤Are you okay?
9:22pm
╰┈➤ Missed call
╰┈➤ Missed call
╰┈➤ Where are you?
╰┈➤ I asked you to update me and you said you would, a simple ‘yes baby I’m fine’ would be amazing?
10:03pm
╰┈➤ I don’t ask for a lot and you can’t even do that much, I just want to know how things are going.
╰┈➤ I’m coming to get you
╰┈➤ Missed call
⌞10:16pm⌝
By the time you saw the countless messages and missed calls she left it was too late to message, she wasn’t going to answer since she was driving. You opt for the best option you could think of; sitting outside and waiting for her. You say goodbye to all of your friends, promising to see them again soon, wishing them the best for the time being. Then, you take your leave and find a comfortable space on the front concrete stairs of the establishment.
You’re scrolling on your phone when, soon enough, you hear a car pull up and park right in front of you. You look up and lock eyes with your wife through the open passenger seat window, she does not look happy.
Why were you getting excited? She’s about to berate you for disobeying her, so why are you feeling giddy?
You make your way over to the car, dragging your feet. Luckily you ordered some side dishes to eat while you were drinking, helping you to not get too drunk. But honestly, even if you didn’t, the feeling of her eyes burning into your head as you step inside the car would definitely do the trick.
“I’m really so—“
“Don’t wanna hear it.” She leaves no room for argument, no room for apologies, and absolutely no room for your endless excuses she knows you made up while waiting for her.
The rest of the drive home is silent. She left a cold bottle of water in the centre console that you graciously took, not bothering with manners since you know it won’t help your case.
You can’t lie though, the tension in the car mixing with the alcohol in your system was making you feel hot. You couldn’t help but imagine what she was going to do once you got home, smiling to yourself while looking at the window, trying your absolute hardest not to make it obvious that you were squeezing your thighs together. The butterflies in your stomach were making your clit throb with anticipation. The way she put her hand behind your head rest and turned around, using the palm of her hand to turn the steering wheel to back into the garage didn’t help the throb either.
You both sit in the stilled car for a moment, but you’re both still for different reasons. She’s thinking of what to say, while you’re waiting to be told what to do. She actually appreciates your behaviour for the first time all night.
“Sit on the bed.” You expect her to say more so you turn to face her, but once you receive a look that says ‘what?’ you get out of the car and head to the bedroom.
You’re waiting for some time before she comes in, stopping momentarily to glare at you, you shiver subtly under her gaze. She turns and closes the door, still standing facing away from you when she talks next.
“What is the one thing I asked you to do?” Turning around slowly to face you, walking over to you in a less than reassuring way.
“To update you,” your voice was small.
“Speak up, I can’t hear you,” she kneels down in front of you, staring up at you and yet it still feels like she’s looming over you.
“You asked me to update you.”
“Right. And what didn’t you do?”
“Update you.”
“I said speak up,” she says through her teeth, in an impatient manner.
“I didn’t update you. And I’m so sorry Sev, I just forgot.” Your apology was rushed, thinking she would interrupt you again. But she didn’t, she stayed silent.
“Take your clothes off.”
You swallow your nerves and lift your dress up over your head, sitting in your underwear. You don’t waste any time in taking off the rest, leaving you sitting completely bare in front of her.
“Lay on your stomach.”
You move further onto the bed, turning over and laying on your stomach just like she asked. She lifts up your hips with ease, placing a pillow underneath them. Then, the sound of her palm coming down on your ass fills the room. You hear it before you feel it. When you do feel it, it stings so badly that it feels cold.
She won’t make you count, she never does. That isn’t the point of this punishment. The point of it is to have to crying and begging her to stop while chanting empty promises along the lines of ‘I’ll never do it again!’ These pleas fall on unwillingly ears; she listens, relishing in the sobs that come out of your mouth every time she brings her hand down, then ignores you. Just like you did to her.
“Shut it. You want me to listen to you? Yeah? How do you think I feel, sweetheart?” She grabs your hair, turning your head to face her. The look in her eyes doesn’t do much to help the dripping between your thighs, but that doesn’t make it any less intimidating.
“I’m so sorry ‘Vika, I swear, it won’t hap- happen again,” stammering over your words due to your uncontrollable sobbing.
“You sure you’re not just saying that to get on my good side so I can play with your little pussy, babe? ‘Cause she looks pretty desperate,” the smirk evident in her tone.
“I’m sure.”
Out of nowhere she gets on top of you, straddling your thighs. She gets real close to your ear, make you shiver as you feel her lick the shell of it.
“Think you deserve to cum?” She hums in response when she sees you nod your head.
You feel her fingers slowly creep their way to your weeping pussy, but you stay still. You feel her knee nudge your legs open for easier access, but you still remain unmoving. It was only when her fingertip dipped slightly into you that you jolted, earning a chuckle from the woman above you. She gets off for a second and guides you to turn around. Still keeping your hips elevated but now you’re on your back.
She presses her knee to your shoulder, making it near impossible for you to move. And rubs your clit slowly with her hand, causing your eyes to close at the direct contact. You notice the light disappearing from behind your eyelids and open your eyes, only to see Sevika’s face above yours.
“Open wide, whore,” looking down at your lips with an expectant look.
You close your eyes agin and open your mouth, feeling a drop her warm saliva dribble onto your tongue. You swallow it immediately.
“You really are a slut, aren’t you?” A rhetorical question, of course. You both knew that answer.
Her other hand comes down to lift the hood of your clit up, making you clench around nothing as your clit is exposed to the cold air. Using her other hand to gather some of your arousal on a couple of her think fingers, a rub them roughly against your sensitive bundle of nerves. Your eyes roll into the back of your head, back arching, and toes curling. Then, she shows you absolutely no mercy. Moving off of you and finding her place between you thighs, face to face with your drooling slit, licking her lips.
And she devours you, her hands do well to keep you from moving too much but even when you do, her face follows you. Never letting you escape the overwhelming pleasure. Sevika sucks your clit into her mouth, using her tongue to subjugate it to an unrelenting torture. As you feel your orgasm sneaking up, she lifts her head slightly, gaining your attention.
“Don’t cum yet.” What?
“I can’t hold it-“
“You’re going to have to, baby. I wasn’t asking.”
She gets right back to work, adding two of her thick fingers. While she seems to be enjoying herself, you have to fight off your pleasure while being forced to endure her tongue on your pussy. Not an easy task at all. You tell yourself to focus on your breathing, trying to hold it off for as long as possible but it doesn’t seem to be working at all. Little did you know, this is exactly what she wanted; to push to the point where you have to beg her to let you cum. Her favourite form of humiliation.
“Sev- vika, ohhh god, I can’t- I can’t hold it. Ohhhh my god, I can’t hold it— pleeeaaase baby! Fuckkk,” your pleas came out as screams through your teeth.
“Oh, I don’t know, baby. I really don’t think you deserve it, at all.”
The room was filled with the only words you could get out; pleasepleaseplease was all she heard, and she loved it. In fact, she wouldn’t have it any other way.
Once your hips started moving erratically, you both knew there was no holding it for any longer. She’s not worried though, she wasn’t planning on making you wait any longer anyway.
“You gonna cum, sweetheart? Go on, make a mess.”
The dam walls break, the noise you let out was ungodly. Your orgasm washing over you in such an intense way that your whole body starts shaking. The shivering didn’t stop Sevika from prolonging it, dragging your orgasm out by slightly slowing down the pace of her fingers. It was such a overwhelming sensation that you don’t even hear her get up, too fucked out from only one orgasm to see what she’s doing. The ringing in your ears stops you from hearing the sound of metal clanging together. She’s already fastened the harness around her hips and is lubing up the strap by the time you turn your head around, your eyes widening at the sheer size of it.
“What’s wrong, baby?”
“I c- please Sevi, I can’t cum again,” trying to give her the sweetest look you could muster up, looking for some type of sympathy.
“Don’t give me that, you’ve got plenty more in you.”
She gets on her knees on the bed, using one of her hands to lift your hips up and the other one to guide her strap into your drenched pussy. Swiping it up and down to gather all of your cum that has dripped out of you, using it as extra lube. You wince as she pushes in. Inch by inch, she’s filling you up. She’s so slow too, making sure you feel every detail of the fake dick.
Once you adjust to the size of it, she lifts both of your legs so that both of your feet are hanging over one of her shoulders. Your hips are off the bed completely and she wraps both arms around your legs, and she goes crazy. She moves back, only bringing her hips forward whenever gravity makes you impale yourself on her dick. The sound of skin slapping soon fills the room, almost drowning out the beautiful noises you were making.
Your mouth lolled open, drool finding its way out of your mouth and down the side of your cheek.
“That feel good, baby?” She already knew but she loved to hear you say it.
“Mhm,” your bottom lip finding its way in between your teeth.
“I can’t hear you.”
“Y- yessss, oh my fucking g- gooddddd!!!” Voice changing as she angles her hips slightly upwards, pressing into that spot inside you that makes you see stars.
She doesn’t stop when you cum for the second time.
“Aww, look baby. You’re creaming all over me, does it feel too good, sweetheart?”
She doesn’t stop when you squirt all over her abdomen.
“Ohhhhhh, you’re makin’ a mess.” Bringing her hand down and rubbing sloppy patterns over your clit, forcing more out of you. Making you scream through your teeth. She chuckles through her teeth and your reaction.
She doesn’t stop after you start begging her for a break.
“I thought I told you I don’t wanna hear any of that, of course you can take more.”
“I- I can’t! Vika pl-“
“Don’t make me repeat myself, we aren’t stopping. Not until you understand— not until you learn the consequences of your actions.”
And oh my god did she stick to her word. She’s still pushing into you even now, even after you’ve stopped making noise and your mouth is just hanging wiiiiide open, even after you’ve cum another handful of times, even after she starts getting tired. She’s persistent, you’ll give her that.
She pauses for a second when she hears you mumble something under your breath, grabbing your jaw. She taps your cheek lightly.
“What’d you just say, baby? C’mon, speak.”
“I— I’m sorry,” tears, real tears pour out of your eyes. Not tears from the hours of overstimulation, not tears from the overwhelming pleasure you’re still experiencing, but tears from being genuinely sorry.
“I’m sorry I didn’t li- listen, I won’t- it won’t happen again. I love you.” Your words are quiet, almost a whisper, and slurred. And your sobs and hiccups weren’t helping you to become more coherent, but she still understood what you said. You didn’t even need to say anything and she would still know.
She pauses, her eyes are darting all over your face. And she leans down to kiss your tears away softly, lovingly.
“Okay, baby. It’s alright, I love you too. You’re gonna cum one more time and we’ll be done. Yeah?”
She hums when you give her a nod, but you’re surprised when she pulls out. She’s slow with it, not wanting to hurt you. You focus your eyes to see her kissing down your stomach, until she reaches your sore pussy. You clench around nothing when you see her just looking, staring. Then, she leans in.
Immediately dipping her tongue in, her eyes rolling at the taste of your cum on her tongue. She doesn’t waste a drop, swallowing it all.
“Relax, baby. Deeeep breaths, yeah that’s good.”
She guides you through the build up, helping you to overcome to pain of your sensitive clit being stimulated once again, helping you to calm down, telling you when to breathe in… then out. During this time, you rely on her words and actions to know how to behave. She’s calm, so you’re calm.
As your orgasm builds further, you become a little erratic in your movements. Breathing becoming faster and more unsteady, hips lifting off of the bed and pulling away? or were they grinding on her face? neither of you could tell, and back arching.
“Baby, calm down.” Her authoritative voice was still so smooth like honey, making you shiver. You nod.
“I’m- gonna, gonna cum. Pleasepleaseplease- Vika I’m gonna c-“
“Yeah, I heard you. Calm down and let it alllll out.”
And when that cord inside you finally snaps, she’s there. Following your hips, forcing you to ride it out.
⌞probably veryyyyy early into the next morning⌝
Your back is against her chest, she’s running her hand up and down your torso. The warm bath water engulfing you both, making you sleepy. You could feel her watching you, so you open your eyes.
“What are you looking at?” Playfulness lingering in your tone.
“My beautiful wife,” she says without even thinking.
You smile, closing your eyes again and leaning back against her chest.
“How’re you feeling?”
“Sore.” She chuckles at your answer, letting the comfortable silence fill the bathroom again.
After a couple of minutes she speaks again.
“Don’t ever make me worry like that again.” Her voice calm, but threatening.
“Yeah, I got that.”
“I mean it, baby.”
“I know.”
“So?”
“I won’t do it again.”
“Right,” rewarding you with a soft kiss on your temple.

SAVE A TWO CHILDREN FROM GAZA 🍉🍉
Hello everyone, Enas ( @enasfamily55 ) has been reaching out to me, asking for help. She needs urgent donations. Don't ignore this post. You can read Enas's story in her words here. But to shorten it, Enas has two children, Mohammed and Hala, both very young. During the genocide, her husband was murdered. Leaving Enas to raise her two children alone. They are left without a father figure, they are left without income or shelter, they are left amidst the pain and destruction alone.
How is Enas supposed to care for her children? How will she provide the necessary healthcare? The food? Water? How will she protect her children from diseases and infections running rampant? How will she prevent malnutrition? How will she raise them in a stable and healthy environment, when all they know is bombing, grief and loss. Every child deserves to live a good childhood, surrounded by love and warmth. They didn't deserve to watch their father die - we as humans should be doing everything in our power to prevent this heartbreak.
Imagine watching as your children suffer, and you are left helpless. Imagine watching your children cry and being unable to soothe them.
Even a small donation - ANY AMOUNT - can greatly help. Any donation can make a difference, just a few dollars can help them eat tonight, or stay warm. If you have money to spend at a coffee shop, you can help them.
9% OF DONATION GOAL RAISED - They are lucky to get 5 donations in a day.
HER PAYPAL HERE.
