مدتى خوشحال ميرفتم، ناراحت برميگشتم.
بعد ناراحت ميرفتم، ناراحت برميگشتم.
طول كشيد ياد بگيرم،
چطور خوشحال برم، خوشحال برگردم.
اما خوب راهى نداشت،
جز رفتن،
رفتن و آموختن.

Teaching
In midst of a crazy day, I came across this quotation, and it actually kept me going, to tolerate all the bureaucracy that will hopefully lead to enabling new opportunities for some students:
"Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as hard duty." - Albert Einstein

Doing the Right Thing!
I feel like little Charlie in Scent of a Woman. Exhausted of doing the right thing, traveling the right path as I know it. Al Pacino said it best why some people do not take this path: because it is too damn hard!
"[Lt. Col. Frank Slade is speaking in defense of Charlie Simms at meeting at the Baird School] Now I have come to the cross-roads in my life. I always knew what the right path was. Without exception, I knew, but I never took it. You know why? It was too damn hard. Now here's Charlie. He's come to the cross-roads. He has chosen a path. It's the right path. It's a path made of principle that leads to character. Let him continue on his journey. ", Scent of a Woman.
Let me continue on my journey. I am tired.

Really Dreamy
She dreamed the sweetest dream.
Surprisingly, she did not get sad,
Realizing it was a dream,
That she was back to the reality,
Wishing the dream lingered a bit more.
This time, it was not just a dream.
It was also reality.
A dreamy reality,
A real dream.

Ending friendships
Here is an interesting article about the importance of acknowledging problems in friendships and relationships. Reading this made me realize what a long way I have traveled through out the years. I now not only dare to ask my friends "what is wrong", when I sense something is wrong, I also initiate and tell them whatever the hell I feel is wrong. I think they deserve to know and provide an explanation if there is any, just like I deserve to know if my friend thinks I did something wrong. How one chooses to address and respond to the complains, determines the future of that relationship, for better or worse.
