The Young Generation & The Brilliant Future (waiting for them)!

(Although we waste so many precious moments without doing anything special, but it's still been really hard to find some free time to write: this valuable career…)
In case of me, it's mostly painful not to write!!! So here I am again! :-D

By the way, I've discovered something interesting!!! Today is the 10^th Moharram (& Bahman), This is my 20^th Post, and it's 30^th January!! 10 – 20 – 30 ….!! just for having fun! ;)

Well! Regarding the matter of "writing", I found a great statement that you can follow behind:

………………………

"To ask why we write is also to ask why we read. The pragmatic answer is "to find proof" -- to find proof of like-minded thinkers, to find support for our own arguments, to discover that we are not alone in our thinking, our assumptions and problems. The transcendental answer is "to educate" -- to inspire our own thinking, to see new realities, to uplift ourselves through another writer's use of language. And the middle road: "Because there is a need."

Writing is [or can be] a transgression of boundaries, an exploration of new territory. It involves making public the events of our lives, wriggling free of the constraints of purely private and individual experiences. From a state of modest insignificance we enter a space in which we can take ourselves seriously. As an alternative to accepting everyday events mindlessly, we recall them in writing."

I write to be human

…………………..

Anyway, let me come to the events of these days, specially: "Ashoora".

I don't wanna talk about its religious aspects or historical ones! What has made me write this note is that, almost no one has reverence for the religious celebrations (either the memorials or the feasts) anymore …

It's not just the matter of being Muslim or religious, but just being scrupulous is enough to react towards the strange behavior of this conscienceless mankind!!!!

Here is my personal experience:

It's really hard to believe that those who had come to that Theological Ceremony (Ashoora) were most likely to take part in a wedding party!! Specially the young ones whose eyes were wondering around to find …. To find really what??!! To find a foolish, unprincipled, dishonorable companion like themselves, with strange hair style and expensive shoes, bags, jeans, or clothing!! .. There was a fashion show in progress!! The girls in one side, the boys in the other side of the street! Some in their own cars, some on foot! I just felt so sad and mostly worried about what lies ahead for us … I just wondered at such mentality!

How we expect that everything be in order, while we have been mentally in disorder??!

I just hope that the young generation (of which I am a member), who is the builder of future, would make a positive change! If not, we would become the prisoners of the "material world"! Then what we "own" would be the scale to value what we "Are"!!! "To Have" or "Not To Have" That's the Question!!! "Religious" or "Non-believing" (not being religious = brilliant thought, open-minded!!!!!)

My God! …. It's a shame! …. That's really awful … Help us going through this world of complexities …

Change your vision of the world!

Here's the latest comment on this blog!!!! :

"Hey, you can find these poems and quotations everywhere on the net, so why don't you stop wasting your time and others and do something useful instead???"

Well, we are not here to fight or quarrel … Blog is a personal webpage… you are free to chose the subject totally according to your desire. You can write whatever you want. In my idea, what I do here is useful, at least for myself; it has nothing wrong or harmful, whereas I try to put the interesting parts forward.

In fact, wasting time is to write nonsense! Wasting time is to do something without aim and clear purpose… quite contrary to what I am doing here; means I am satisfied with the output. For me it's not wasting time. I do practice my English, I do record my diary, and I do establish good relation with others in an international virtual world, cyberspace.

A psychologist has a great statement proper to this issue:

" If you are satisfied with what you are doing, BE SURE you are doing it RIGHT!"

You know, some people can just see the black part, the negative side, the empty space of the glass!!! But why not have a positive look at everything.

I am not a scientist, a doctor or an engineer … I am just ME, a student of literature, who is always in contact with the world of WORDS, QUOTES and FEELINGS. What ever I used to say here is what I wanna share with those who care and mind about each and every little word (enunciating the inner sentiments) which can really change the world!

The things I chose for my blog can be found anywhere just as no where else! Because, I AM UNIQUE just like everyone else!! …

Eventually, I think all depends on you and your point of view. If you want, you can take the message out of everything.

There exists DISTINCTLY a story behind each little tiny molecule and each strange sign and letter of any language! …

Poem ...

Today I had "French Versification" exam; well … it was not as hard as I imagined, but still after four years of university experience, I still have problem in recognizing the important parts in each course (actually I could never understand what passes through the professors' mind! They never take a rational exam! Among thousands of glittering, significant, remarkable subjects, what would you see in the exam paper?! …. The commonplace questions from the parts you have dropped! … Oops! )

Anyway! On the occasion of today's POST, I've chose a poem from Omar Khayyam (Persian poet who lived between 1044 and 1123 CE. He was considered as "The King of Wisdom" … He was famous for his rubai (quatrain) poems, also known as a mathematician, historian, and astronomer)

"Like God, if this world I could control
eliminating the world would be my role
I would create the world anew, whole
Such that the free soul would attain desired goal."

Winter ...

Oh My God! I could never love WINTER, and still I have problem with this season! No flower! No green leaf! No singing bird! No beauty! … NOTHING! Nothing worthy of attention! Worst of all, the COLD weather against which I am always so weak! (Actually I am sick during the whole season! A durable cold! ) May God make out of each season a warm and nice SPRING!!! :D

** In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer. **…. Albert Camus

Anyway, here I should make something clear about my previous Post.
Dear Reader with the comment below,

"Ok...I've been here quite a few times and I gotta admit that it's nice ... however I do have to object to your good news!!! Is really the execution of someone considered good news? Revenge served in a cold dish!!! And my second is to you not updating this blog more often... good luck ..."

First of all, it's NICE of you to read this little blog and thanks for your kind message,

Second, I didn't actually mean that the execution is good news; I just mentioned that there happened some BAD and GOOD events and "the execution" was among the "bad news" (that I preferred not to enter into its details!).... I am totally with your idea about Revenge!

Third, it's to be said that I am now the student in the last year of university (and there are bunch of researches to be done, and the studying load has got heavy!) … Besides, it's been a while since I've started teaching English to little children aged 7-10 year-old (it's really amazing! But you must have a strong patience! It's a test of nerve!!). And all these, leave me no free time to update the blog, but I try my best to care your friendly suggestion ;)

These days, as I am working on "Albert Camus" (Albert Camus (1913-1960) was a representative of non-metropolitan French literature. His origin in Algeria and his experiences there in the thirties were dominating influences in his thought and work.) I'm gonna profit from some of his quotes:

· You know what charm is: a way of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question.

· I don't want to be a genius--I have enough problems just trying to be a man!!!

· But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads.

· What is a rebel? A man who says no!!!!

· I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

SMILE :) ALWAYS!

It's really unforgivable not to update the weblog with the excuse of being BUSY!! But actually I have no other justification! In fact, the everyday life has just imprisoned me within the cage of the quotidian routine: university, work, home… I've been drowned in the ocean of Books!

So, after a long absence, I'm here again! Happy to see you!!

In my absence, some good and bad events took place of which the most important are The unexpected Execution of Saddam & the Arrival of the YEAR '2007' … I don't wanna talk about the bad news! The world has been filled with so much pain and misery that here I don't have to recall it! So, I just say HAPPY NEW YEAR!! (Of course our Persian Calendar is different from the Gregorian calendar … our new year starts 21^st March)

Anyway, I hope all the year through you would be happy, healthy and successful in whatever you do. This time, I've chosen some very great & useful quotes from "Richard Bach" (American Writer, who is the author of "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" b.1936 ):

· Ask yourself the secret of YOUR success. Listen to your answer, and practice it.

· Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you'll see the way to fly.

· What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.

· To bring anything into your life, imagine that it's already there.

· You are never given a dream without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however.

· If your happiness depends on what somebody else does, I guess you do have a problem!

· Look in a mirror and one thing's sure; what we see is not who we are!!

· Every problem has a gift for you in its hands ;)

· The simplest things are often the truest.

So, Enjoy your LIFE with a permanent SMILE :) !

(I'll try to be here sooner! I promise! :D … )
