Sacrifice

Every big wish comes with a big sacrifice. Sometimes you know what it is and sometimes you don't. What keeps me worried all the time is that constant fear of not being ready for the sacrifice.

Quit

Quiting while you're hit is not necessarily quiting.

Refrigerator door note!

There is only one YOU.

Light the Skies

And if you only knew
Just how much the sun needs you
to help him light the skies
You would be surprised
You would be surprised

-lyrics: Light the Skies

Story

Just because I told you my story,
does not invite you to be part of it.

- from the movie: The Bucket List

مکن به نامه سیاهی ملامت من مست
که آگهست که تقدیر بر سرش چه نوشت

قدم دریغ مدار از جنازه حافظ
که گر چه غرق گناهست میرود به بهشت

Cats

Do all the cats in the world talk the same language? Can an Italian born cat understand a German born one? Is it a good idea to take your cat with you from one country to another?

After concentrating on my research for more than a couple of hours now, this is the question that is bothering me which believe me it has nothing to do with my research whatsoever. I guess I seriously need some sleep!

Good night and good luck.

Argument

Joseph Joubert - the French philosopher - says the aim of argument, or of discussion, should not be victory, but progress. Joseph Joubert didn't win many arguments in his life!

Minibar

I remember when I was going to stay in a hotel in Dubai, the only advice everybody was giving me was not to use the water bottles or juices in the Minibar! Kind of a creepy thing, I was trying to keep a certain distance from that scary Minibar all the time!
Last night, I was watching a movie and a guy was about to commit suicide because he had betrayed his country. He was sitting alone in a hotel room, sweating, trembling, a gun in his one hand and a glass of Whisky (I guess) in the other . Very sad moment ... everybody was shocked by the turn of events and I was thinking to myself had he used the Minibar or not? Then I realized even if he was worried before, he didn't have to worry anymore because nobody can charge him anymore.

Old memories ...

تنت به ناز طبیبان نیازمند مباد
وجود نازکت آزرده گزند مباد

شفا ز گفته شِکّرفشان حافظ جوی
که حاجتت به علاج گلاب و قند مباد

Bourne ...

Director Paul Greengrass hasn't manufactured a sequel -- he's written code for a template all future Bonds, Ryans and whoever-the-hell-else will have to match or stumble and die trying.

scenario #3

All that happened was a miracle,
All you had to do was nothing,
All you know about it is nothing.

Scenario #2

All you need is a Miracle,
All it takes is a God,
The only missing part is a wish.

Scenario #1

All you need is a Miracle,
All it takes is a wish,
The only missing part is a God.

Serenity

God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.

Voice Box

I don't get the point! When you call a number and you reach the voice box, it starts repeating the number you've dialed if there is no personal voice message. Does it expect me to check the number or what? I know what number I've dialed! what I don't know is whether I've reached the correct voice box or not!

Barriers

Your task is not to seek for love, but to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it...
