A Word of Advice from Adrienne Clarkson's Mother

Adrienne Clarkson did not think highly about her mother for several reasons but she mentioned this that her mother always advised her "Marry the man who loves you; don't marry the man you love." page 56- Heart Matters

I wish she would elaborate more on it since her first marriage caused her a lot of unhappiness.

To be continued...

What a nice piece of advice!
Once in the past, I have heard it from a wise man, my best friend's father. He used to tell her the very word;
I'm not sure if she has done it or not...
But for sure, she is just happy.

Thank you for remindig me of that nice word again!
Be good.

As a boy, I must love her word of wisdom :D
But I', just afraid if my mother give me the same piece of advice!
oohhh nooo!
BTW if any time I made something uneasy for u, u may simply lend an expression from a friend of mine.
And her phrase in same situations would be "btc"!
Guess what?
Be To Che!

Parinaz jon,
There is a saying that "love blinds you" or something like that. Anyway I agree with it and I believe this advice is somehow based on this reality. She didn't really talk about her first marriage and her problems in her book. I know from other sources that she suffered before her divorce. This suffering continued after her divorce as well since her ex didn't give her the permission to see her children at all.

I'm not really expert in "love" but the thought of it is scary and disappointing to marry someone that I don't love. (BUT I'll keep this in mind for now.)

Shobeir, Shobeir, shobeir,,
I hope for any couple a reciprocal love. Whether you are a guy or lady, anyone deserves to love and to be loved.
Don't worry. I don't need to go as far as "btc". ;)
If I don't want to say something, I won't say it, no matter what. Besides what friends are for if they don't challenge you from time to time :)
take care

Things that really matter

-
I remember once when I was in school, couple of friends suggested skipping the class and going to see a movie. Of course the nerd in me couldn't handle the stress of missing a lecture. So I announced that I wouldn't go with them but I would gladly go to class and share my notes with whoever likes to have them later. I don't recall the content of that lecture nor do I recall the course but I never forget that I didn't watch 'the Banu Ordibehesht' with my friends.

"Be a rainbow in someone’s cloud"

Photo from here . “God puts rainbows in the clouds so that each of us- in the dreariest and most dreaded moments- can see a possibility of hope.” Maya Angelou  Some time ago, I had the pleasure of attending one of Maya Angelou’s talks. I was very excited about listing to her. When I bought the ticket, I told to myself that was an early birthday present for me. I went for the talk to be inspired and to figure out why this woman was so successful as she was. Although I never regret going to that talk (since I learned one or two things), the talk was not as inspiring as I hoped. I had heard better talks before. She is not one of those people that I call gifted public speakers. She was witty and smart but didn’t really do it for me. However, what I learned was that I can be a rainbow in someone’s cloud. When she was talking about a rainbow, she was talking about her cripple poor uncle who not only changed her life but had an impact on other kids in the neighbourhood. When she was talki

Happy Persian New Year, Sal-e noe mobarak! I set my 7-seen table finally this morning. I want everyone to notice my happy mug which contains some wheat cat grass. The one I try to make from lentil, didn't turn out very well since I remembered to start doing it 10 days ago. The weather today was surprisingly amazing. I received some chocolate as eidi (which was a nice surprise too and from someone whom I was trying to be mad at), played squashed with some friends, then went swimming. As I was swimming in the quiet pool, I started thinking that I should be very grateful for this nice facility on campus and should take more advantage of it. I was happy but by the end of the day, I couldn't help it wonder about some stuff in my life. More thinking and analyzing does not help either; Some cry does though. At least I feel better now. I am just worried that I am on the wrong track. I wish everyone a wonderful year ahead. I usually don't right anything here in Farsi but I really
