I recieved this poem in my inbox and I just loved it. The English translation is not as good as the orginal Farsi but still good to share. در جواب ِ دخترم که پرسيد: چرا مرا به دنيا آوردي؟ زيرا سال‌هاي جنگ بود و من نيازمند ِ عشق بودم براي چشيدن ِطعم آرامش . زيرا بالاي سي سال داشتم و مي ترسيدم از پژمردن پيش از شکفتن و غنچه دادن . زيرا طلاق واژه اي ست تنها براي مرد و زن نه براي مادر و فرزند . زيرا تو هرگز نمي‌تواني بگويي : مادر ِ سابق ِ من حتي وقتي جنازه‌ام را تشييع مي کني . و هيج چيز، هيچ چيز در اين دنيا نمي تواند ميان ِ مادر و فرزند جدايي افکند نفرت يا مرگ حتي . و تو بيزاري از من زيرا تو را به دنيا آورد ه ام تنها به خاطر ِ ترسم از تنها ماندن و هرگز مرا نخواهي بخشيد تا زماني که خود فرزندي به دنيا آوري ناتوان از تاب آوردن ِ خاکستر ِ سوزان ِ روياهاو آرزوهاي دور و درازت فریده حسن‌زاده In Answer to My Daughter : Why Did You Bring Me Into Existence?

Shawn Achor in TED TALK: The happy secret to better work
I encourage everyone to watch this video. The speaker is very funny and the content is very interesting; however, he speaks too fast. Anyway, I am thinking of trying this. I really need to change the way I think. I want to be happy.

Every moment is made glorious by the light of Love. from Rumi Love Poems
