The Best Moments

-
I received a silly email today from a good friend. I toyed with the translation a little bit and add some notes [in square brackets] just to be sarcasm since not all applies. According to Charles Chaplin the best moments of one’s life are the following:
  • To laugh your head off [I agree]
  • To see thousands letters after coming back from a vacation [and probably half of them are the bills you have to pay]
  • To go on a vacation to a beautiful place [ I would be happy to go on vacation anytime, anywhere]
  • To listen to your favourite song on the radio [or iPod, TV, computer nowadays]
  • To fall asleep by the sound of the rain [totally agree]
  • To submit your last exam [it depends on how well did you do your exam]
  • To get a phone call from someone you don’t see often but you would like to [or an email or a text] ... I just got a phone call :)
  • To wear the pants that you don’t wear often and find some money in your pocket [ I love when this happens]
  • To laugh for no reason [?]
  • To overhear someone says something nice about you [that probably shows how insecure you are but I am sure everyone is insecure at some level]
  • To wake up and realize you still have a couple of hours to sleep
  • To hear a song that reminds you of someone special
  • To be part of a team [ if you like your teammates]
  • To watch the sunset
  • To make new friends
  • To feel butterflies around someone
  • To spend times with your best friends
  • To see people you love are happy
  • To run into an old friend and see nothing has change between you two [impossible]
  • To take a walk on the beach
  • To fall in love [I can’t argue with that]
  • To hear that someone loves you [to hear that someone misses you]
  • To think of silly/funny things done by your good friends

Well! as I was formatting this post to publish, I got a phone call from 3 friends in Vancouver. It totally changed my mood. Life can be good. I wish everyone all the things listed above.

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 t...
