Saleh,
Stop this self-deprecation such as "If I had University education ... even a
layman like me..." etc. nay aya Fisseha keya'klsi nsKa dma:-)? Is it may Q8

One shouldn't get involved in self-agrandizement, self-promotion, and "baEla
tnAd" type of behavior, but too much modesty is not recommended either.
Just to say you're doing fine, my friend, without going to university.
Atleast, that means, you aren't paying student loan:-) That is all
university graduates do for years afterward, particularly here "in this
United States."
