Snap out of the victim mentality, the grass is always greener on the otherside.

I already know this will annoy some people, but it needs to be said.

Yes, Morocco has serious problems. Corruption, unemployment, healthcare, education, bureaucracy. Nobody is denying that.

Walakin machi kolchi sbabou l7okoma. At some point we also need to look at ourselves. Every time something goes wrong, we blame the government, society, our parents, rich people, Europe. Always somebody else.

People keep saying Morocco is not growing. Come on. Look at Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier or Marrakech compared to 15 years ago. Some places are almost unrecognizable. That does not mean everything is good, but saying that nothing is changing is simply dishonest.

I actually live in Europe. Trust me, lflous ma kayti7ouch men sma hna.

Just to file the proper business paperworks can costs 2000 euros. Everything is more expensive. Taxes, permits, fines and paperwork can kill your motivation before you even begin. People with master’s degrees search for jobs for months or even years. When they finally find one, a huge part of their salary goes to taxes. (54Percent)

Meanwhile, Morocco has grants and opportunities (Casablanca Finance City , where I'm looking to hire people!) for people who genuinely want to build something. If you run a small cash business, you can sometimes keep much more of what you earn.

Ask yourself honestly, all the people who rushed towards Ceuta, how many of them dedicated years to getting a degree, learning a skill or seriously trying to start something?

I know that not everyone gets the same opportunities. But we also need to stop pretending that everyone has tried everything.

I have seen people saying: “I earn 5,000 MAD per month. It is not enough, so I will not work.”

Khoya, 5,000 MAD may not be enough. Mafihach lhedra. But if you refuse to work completely, what exactly is your plan? Zero income, zero experience and sitting in a café waiting for your life to change?

Ma fhemtch had logique.

Then some people think they will arrive in Europe with no papers, no qualifications and no language skills, and immediately make money. The reality can be shelters, illegal jobs, exploitation or getting pulled into crime just to survive.

Risking your life and your family’s life at sea without any real plan is not ambition. It is just throwing your life into the unknown.

Europe might offer better healthcare, public services and a different "lazy" lifestyle. But Europe will not give you discipline, skills or direction. Ila ma bghitich t7arek 3la rassek, changing countries will not magically change you.

Morocco has problems. Bladna fiha machakil bzzaf, and we need to face them and fix them. But blaming Morocco for absolutely everything will not improve your own life.

Complain as much as you want. Some complaints are completely justified.

Walakin ila b9iti ghir katchekka, ghadi tb9a 3ayech f nafs lmisery dyalk while everyone else moves forward.

Be proud and hold your head high.
