Death

You got a weird sad feeling when you see someone whom you knew distantly from the undergraduate university, who has recently finished his master's this year, has died from blood cancer. His photos on a poster and Facebook are still smiling at you, friends are writing so many things and you're wondering why so soon... Life is too short, let's spend valuable time with our beloved ones!

Forgiveness

If you cannot forgive someone's mistake it's not because the mistake is big; it happens because your heart is too small.

L'odeur de la rivière Amou-Daria بوی جوی مولیان

L'odeur de la rivière Amou-Daria vient; La mémoire de l'amant mignon vient,

Les grands sables d'Amou-Daria sont très douces sous mes pied,

L'eau d'Amou-Daria se lève jusqu'au milieu de mon cheval à cause de la joie de voire le visage de l'amant,

Rudaki (859-941) BC

رودکی 

بوی جوی مولیان آید همی

یاد یار مهربان آید همی

ریگ آموی و درشتی راه او

زیر پایم پرنیان آید همی

آب جیحون از نشاط روی دوست

خنگ ما را تا میان آید همی

ای بخارا! شاد باش و دیر زی

میر زی تو شادمان آید همی

میر ماه است و بخارا آسمان

ماه سوی آسمان آید همی

میر سرو است و بخارا بوستان

سرو سوی بوستان آید همی

آفرین و مدح سود آید همی

گر به گنج اندر زیان آید همی

What is it of your business?!

Oh devotee! If I'm bad and drunk, what is it of your business?
If the cup of wine is in my hand, what is it of your business?

If you are sitting in the corner of altar, does anybody ask you why?
Now that I'm sitting in the corner of pub, what is it of your business?

If you are busy with prayers, what does it have to do with me?
And if I'm drunk all night to dawn, what is it of your business?

If the fire of hell is intended for you and me,
if you are dry, what is it of my business and if I'm wet, what is it of your business?!

"Khayyam"

زاهدا من که خراباتی و مستم به تو چه؟

 ساغر و باده بود بر سر دستم به تو چه؟

تو اگر گوشه ی محراب نشستی صنمی گفت چرا؟ 

من اگر گوشه ی میخانه نشستم به تو چه؟

آتش دوزخ اگر قصد ِ تو و ما بکند 

تو که خشکی چه به من/من که تر هستم به تو چه؟

"خیام"

Garden of Eden!

My father (Adam) sold the "Garden of Eden" (paradise) for two grains of wheat.
I would not be his son if I didn't sell it for a barley!

"Hafez"

پدرم روضه رضوان به دو گندم بفروخت 

ناخلف باشم گر به جویی نفروشم

"حافظ"

Life is like riding a bicycle

Albert Einstein: "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving."

Steve Jobs

Tonight lying in the bed, I hear a sound from the phone, new email, CNN braking news:

“Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple, has died, according to the company. He was 56.”

Immediately I switch to CNN TV, Steve presents iPhone on the stage, something that no one can do better than he does:

“Today Apple is going to reinvent the phone…”

and in Stanford University:

“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart!”

I read the comments on this subject: “Fortunately, he can be rebooted by holding the power and home buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds...”

I open Apple website:

“Steve Jobs 1955-2011

If you would like to share your thoughts, memories, and condolences, please email …

I decide to write because always it helps in difficult times.

Steve is someone who is irreplaceable; who changes many things in our lives; who converts the customers to fans.

Thank you for everything Steve, you’ll be always missed and remembered!
