Notes from thoughts, memories, and events

Year: 2012 (Page 1 of 2)

Darkest Yalda

This year has been a difficult one for many people, but for me, it’s been particularly trying. The loss of my beloved grandfather has hit me hard, and his passing has left a significant void in my life. The pain of his absence is compounded by the fact that I was too sick to attend his funeral. This was a critical moment in my grieving process and not being able to say goodbye in person has made the loss even harder to bear. The weight of these events has left me feeling completely overwhelmed, and I’ve struggled to come to terms with the darkness that has descended upon me this year. Despite the challenges I’ve faced, I’m trying to find ways to honor my grandfather’s memory and hold onto the happy memories we shared together.

Open-Minded Responses

Do we only reject the words of others because we believe there is no right answer? What if their words are right, do we still not provide a response?”

It’s often said that there is no right answer, but does this mean that our responses are simply a result of rejecting the words of others? In a world where opinions and perspectives vary greatly, it’s important to consider the validity of others’ statements before simply dismissing them.

We live in a society where discussions and debates are commonplace, and it’s natural to have disagreements. However, it’s crucial to approach these disagreements with an open mind and a willingness to understand the perspective of others. By simply rejecting the words of others without considering their validity, we limit our own growth and the growth of those around us.

On the other hand, if the words of others are indeed right, it’s essential to acknowledge and respond to them accordingly. Ignoring the truth and disregarding the validity of someone else’s words is not only unfair but also hinders our ability to learn and grow.

In conclusion, instead of immediately rejecting the words of others, it’s important to consider the validity of their statements and respond accordingly. By doing so, we can promote growth, learning, and understanding in our interactions with others.

The Rigors of Life

Life can be a harsh mistress and it constantly reminds us that time is fleeting. From the moment we leave the comfort of our mother’s embrace, we must learn to forego the security and peace of being cared for, and embrace the challenges of the world.

As we go to school, we leave behind the carefree days of childhood, and must spend several hours a day in the classroom in order to prepare ourselves for the future. Then, as we enter military service, the comfort and leisure of life are a distant memory, as we find ourselves working long hours and standing guard, unable to get a full night’s sleep.

When we finally strike out on our own, we face the greatest challenges of all – providing for ourselves, making ends meet, and ensuring our safety and well-being. And when we grow old, life can become even more demanding, with health problems and the need for constant care.

But despite all these challenges, life remains a precious gift, one that we should cherish and make the most of each day. Whether we are young or old, we must always strive to meet life’s demands and overcome its obstacles, so that we can live fulfilling and meaningful lives.

I need your voice

I am making a documentary film for a university project on entrepreneurship in the IT industry. I have almost everything ready, including photos, video clips, interviews, etc. I just need someone to read a short text (two pages for the introduction and ten lines for the conclusion) that I have written. If you have half an hour of free time, please let me know and I will send you the text and the necessary notes.

The Inadequacy of College Professors

In my opinion, the professors here, even if they talk sweet and rich, their knowledge is limited. They only repeat the content that they have memorized or learned throughout their years of teaching. Please do not disrespect either yourself or the professor by asking questions. If you know the professor’s quotes, don’t forget them until the day of the exam. It’s that easy.

Bathroom of the asylum

Last night, I had a dream. It had been a while since I had a dream that I remembered. Usually, I forget my dreams within moments of waking up. But this dream was different. It lingered in my mind long after I woke up.

I was in a hospital, and I knew I was not a patient. I thought I had gone there to research the patients and their conditions. I would ask anyone I encountered about their reasons for being there, only to find out that they were completely alone. The hospital was a modern facility, with white walls and a sterile atmosphere.

As night fell, I wanted to leave, but I couldn’t. The strangest thing was that the way out was blocked by a crowd. There was another path, though, which was dark, dense, and foggy. What was even stranger was that the fog was everywhere. I don’t know why I took that path in the first place.

The return was impossible. The dream was vivid and intense, and I woke up feeling bewildered and curious. This dream has stayed with me, and I can’t help but wonder what it means.

The Weakness of Managers

In my opinion, managers and executives who have a management mindset are weak individuals and can not be labeled as strategic. Since they are always looking up and busy with lower-level people.

Maybe that’s why I never tried to be a manager, except during my childhood. In fact, I never thought about being a manager or not. I just wanted to reach my goal. I never looked back.

Two notes:
It’s good to be able to manage other people. This post is just a post, not a theory. Being able to manage people who are better and superior to you is something else, it depends on specific individuals.

Tabriz Cafes Directory

I have set up a page on Facebook for introducing and reviewing the cafes and coffee shops in Tabriz, along with pictures of their environments and of course, their menu prices.

Of course, I also need your comments for a fair critique. I would appreciate it if you could take a look at the page and share your experiences at different cafes in the form of comments.

I have added three more pages to the previous one to completely cover all such places.

Update:
On these pages, for more than three years, we have been introducing and reviewing coffee shops, traditional cafes, fast foods and restaurants along with users. I did not think that such pages would be needed so much. We have reached 15,000 likes. Thank you all for your support.

Recent animal abuses in Tabriz

Lately, I’ve been tweeting about supporting animals and something has come to my attention. Every once in a while, I see stray cats with their tails cut off in the city. There seem to be no consequences for the culprits. I don’t even know who to hold accountable. I’ve heard rumors of a group of people with specific beliefs who carry out these acts. I’m going to try to dig deeper and write more about them.

Animal abuse is a real issue that’s been happening right under our noses. While most of us are busy with our daily lives, innocent animals are suffering. This is a call to action for everyone who loves animals and wants to make a difference. We need to raise awareness about this issue and find ways to prevent it from happening. The first step is to educate ourselves and others about animal abuse and its consequences. We can’t just sit back and watch animals suffer. We need to take action and make a change.
