Be like water

Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water.

Iran suspended by FIFA


Iran have been suspended from all international football activity because of government interference in running the game in the country.
In a statement, Fifa said it had decided to "suspend the Islamic Republic of Iran Football Federation (IRIFF) from all international activity due to government interference in football matters and violation of Article 17 of the Fifa Statutes."
For more detail refer to BBC Sport News.

Loneliness

We might be very happy because we have a lot of friends or family with us, or we may feel insecure since we have nobody to lean on. Either way, when it comes full circle, nobody can help us even if they want to. In fact, on some level we are all alone; we just don't know it yet.

Survey!

Ello, my name a Borat! I come from Kazakhstan! I like sex!


- Oh my God! It was disgusting! I hardly could watch it.
-(me) So what were you doing then?
- I was laughing.
-(me) How come you were laughing? you said it was disgusting.
- Yeah, I know! I couldn't do anything else.

Part of my discussion with almost everyone who has watched "Borat".

Triskaidekaphobia

Don't bother yourself if you can't read the title. I just did it once and won't do it ever again. But if you're wondering what it is, it is the fear of number 13. In most cultures 13 is assumed to be a bad number. (perhaps I have to change all the 13's to 12+1)
A reason that people consider it a bad number is that it is more than 12 which is a number commonly used and sometimes a sacred number. Besides, if you divide 13 objects into many groups, there is always one left alone which should be kind of scary!! Actually, I am a little suspicious about all prime numbers.
Some people consider the failure of Apollo 13's mission as an example that 13 is a cursed number. Even in Formula 1 there is no car with the number 13. The number has been removed after two drivers were killed in crashes both having the number 13.
Anyway, the fear of the Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia which is so hard to read that makes it less scary.

Question

Somebody told me once that whenever you ask God for something and he doesn't give you that, most probably that request is no good for you and you just don't know it yet. Someday you'll understand. Like a mother who won't give her child poison, no matter how hard the child cries for it. Someday, though not necessarily very soon, the child will understand.
Believe me I've been there many many times. Looking back in my life and wondering what the hell was I thinking? and of course thanking God for not giving me what I wanted.
But here is the thing that I don't understand. Isn't God the mighty of all? So he should be able to provide our request without any bad consequences. I mean after all, he is GOD!
