Is it logical, or just in Oman

Today in my coffee break I decide to have my quick news round, which usually in some Arabic news and some English news and most often I go to BBC to get sport news. Today I found myself reading (http://www.muscatdaily.com ) and am not big fan with business news but in somehow I found myself reading this topic:

Omantel Q1 net down 19% on higher infrastructure spend

Than I wonder how that happens and is it really normal and my curiosity level start to increase so I decide to see how that compare to other communication company in the world. I am big fan of Vodafone and I have used their service for 6 years with big satisfaction when I was in UK and it’s the largest second company in the world after China Mobile. I found this report in (https://www.zawya.com) (for report click here) and I looked up for Vodafone profit in Wikipedia which is very trusted source. hence this what I found out for the year 2010:

Vodafone :
Net profit : 8645 Million dollar
number of subscribers : 341 Million
Number of Employees: 84990
Profit rate: 25 dollar per subscriber

Omantel:
Net profit : 335 Million dollar
number of subscribers : 3.2 Million ( I don’t know how as our population is only 2 million)
Number of Employees: 2200
Profit rate: 105 dollar per subscriber


So let’s read in these numbers, Omantel have 1% of Vodafone subscribers and 3 % of employee. However, when it comes to profit per subscribers Omantel have 410% more than Vodafone. In English, Omantel making 4 times more than Vodafone if we take the number of subscribers into account.
In another language it means Omantel is 4 times expensive as Vodafone which is a very high.

So can anyone tell me the logic behind this?

Anyway, I will stop here I was gunna compare the service and facility they have but than I thought its enough depression and frustration for one day

Coffee Break

In a busy day, sometime we all need a five minute break and in stressful routine day, we all need to smile. But why we need to smile?
Smiling is a great way to make yourself stand out while helping your body to function better. Smile to improve your health, your stress level, and your attractiveness. and if you need more reasons to smile , than you should know that smiling is Contagious and Boosts Your Immune System. also smiling lowers Your Blood Pressure and releases Endorphins, Natural Pain Killers and Serotonin. For ladies you should know that smiling Lifts the Face and Makes You Look Younger. So here you go you get your self a free face lifts session.

From personal experience, recently, I been passed by extreme pressure and enormous stress due to work stress and completing the construction of my house, all that tipped with the changing phase of my life by getting married Which make you feel loner and unhappy. However, during the this period I found a magical relief and amazing way to keep going, this relief was coming from laughter and you cant imagine how this small natural act can have a complete positive effect on you. Actually laughter is a natural, physical process which releases pain, physically and emotionally. It is part of the body's biological drug store.

I did small quick research about laughter and its effects and I found out that serious nation with serious people who have serious health problems, many of which are related to stress. Laughter relieves stress. Through laughter we cope with our fear and anger, the two emotions which result in stress. I found out that laughter:

1. It allows us to be creative and to work harder but more comfortably.
2. It decreases isolation. Laughter allows us to bond with other people and ease our loneliness.
3. It's contagious. Laughter creates laughter. Allowing laughter to swell into a movement across the land would reduce our growing anger and violence.
4. It's universal. Everybody can laugh. Human beings are born with the gift of laughter. A sense of humor is not necessary to laugh.
5. It reduces aggression and conflict. People laughing are unable to hold each other at sword point. Some how there is no longer a point, only acceptable differences.
6. It relieves anxiety. One cannot laugh and be afraid simultaneously. It's physically impossible. Laughter also shrinks the source and size of our fears.
7. Above all else, it's fun. It gives us back our playfulness, a characteristic of all mankind.

I though I will create “coffee Break” group in Facebook where we can share some funny story, nice jokes, that one can enjoy while sipping his/her coffee to make the break more refreshing and relaxing and to introduce more laughter in our life and revel in the opportunity to need fewer or no drugs at all to revel in the experience of your everyday life.

So please feel free to join our group and spread the fun and jokes, the group link is below
