    Harib Shaqsy

    To begin, Harib Shaqsy is a proud father of four children. He is blessed with one Son and three beautiful, curious and energetic daughters, who are constantly reminding him of the joy of life of having a family that are always there when you need them.  Much of Harib's day is spent as a Compute Expert in a government sector, where he is responsible for Digital Curriculum Contents. He also has work experience for nearly 30 years which includes working in a few other companies such as in a Petroleum company and Telecommunications. He studied in the United Kingdom and in the USA in Washington DC. Plus, he has great experience in teaching on the core principles of leadership and personal development.  He brings over thirty years of practical knowledge in his coaching and books.  He is the author of "Hard Work Can Make You Poor". In his book, Harib feels that most people are overworking and overstressed unnecessarily, because, they believe that, working hard is the only way to survive, be paid more and become richer. That is why many end up with depression and other diseases.  If you ever want to become an entrepreneur and would like to get some encouragement and insight, you need to check some of Harib’s work. He shows you the strategy that helps you in laying the foundation for accomplishing your dreams and prospering to your true potential.

      Criminal Damage - Harib Shaqsy

      Chapter 1

      The steel cube in which I am placed holds especially modest attempts of things to place my attention on. All I can do is dart my eyes from one graze to the next as I observe all the various indents. This is the most secure holding cell we have, built to handle the worst of the worst, but it is also as multi-purpose as it is a cell. At the moment, other than the bulletproof doubled glazed over glass window, which from my own experience and knowledge, definitely has people behind, is the fact I am sat on the most stingy metal chair they had to offer. The table in front of me is made of wood as well, and it is chipped in several places, splinters caught along its sides from wear and tear that was given to it over time. I can tell they rushed this in here quick, though, why they wanted to talk to me in such a secure location baffles me beyond comparison to anything else I have achieved in my life thus far.

      This whole room is suffocating, it is too small and dainty, I don’t feel human the longer I sit in here. To think those vile men we find in the middle of some act of violence, or those spine-chilling woman who do things you’d never imagine, and even the most sadistic of children whom I can’t even bear to think about that were maybe detained in at this juncture for their aggressive tendencies scare me. The marks on the four walls of this practical cube are evidenced enough of this.

      The extra secure, steel padded door behind me clicks open several locks, and with the electric motorized mechanical wheels hidden in the walls around me, it is manually opened and automatically opened all at once as a man and a machine work together to open the most dangerous door in the entirety of the Police Headquarters.

      I go to turn, rotating my hips so that I could spot who had summoned me here, even though I am fully aware-

      Eyes forward Rookie The brusque accent calls out-

      Shooting back forward, I maintain my place, hands in my lap, back straight, a placid expression is forced onto my face because of all the people in the world, it had to be the Chief of Police who had come to speak to me. He creates a path around me, circling me as he prepares for our interview. The door locks shut behind us, and when the last breath of fresh air is cut off from me once more, I know I am alone now, just me, and him...

      The Chief of Police is a fairly stoic man; he’s on the aging side now and has worked in this business for many years. He knows the ins and outs of everything that happens; he manages us, sees each and every one of us, and tries his best to keep this city safe. He’s rather stocky, with bushy eyebrows and nostril hair that I’d wish he’d cut. His eyes are a light brown but
