It's finally over !
Another long tiring but nevertheless pleasant week passed by and joined my past . I spent the week , for the most part , in Tehran and this in itself could give me a break and I had plenty of time to mess about and socialize , in fact I had some time to break out of my work shell and spend some quality time with my friends.
I could do one thing which pleased me the most and that was allocating time to people helping them out rather than sorting out a pile of stuff to do and race against the clock . I think I like this pleasingly slow pace of life more although I have always been one who bites more than he can chew and then ends up helplessly running around unable to do half as much as he expected.
This , helping others, is where I believe life begins to derive meaning and beauty mysteriously creeps into your otherwise dull and ordinary life .
Take care of others , the universe takes care of you ( I call it the golden rule of the universe ) even if it doesn't , the good feeling you have been able to obtain through these interactions with others is itself enough to brighten up your life . Those who say this doesn't work might have never tried being nice to othres and are jumping to a hasty irrational conclussion in this regard .
Any way , one of my friends who is tearing himself apart to learn English and thus calls on me frequently was talking to me about his life changes and the way he's spending all his time on English . I was amazed at his perseverence and shocked at his attitude towards doing things .
He had broken up with his dearly loved girl friend of three years , locked himself in and even saw English dreams while sleeping .
I do generally approve of getting your teeth into something if you really mean to acheive it but I object to having to change your whole life plan to such an extent as I believes you'll do very little more than you would otherwise get around to. More importantly , if you forgo everything in your life to acheive one single thing I'm sure in most cases in the end you'll come to understand it wasn't worth it .
I am a man of " so many tasks at a time " and people always ask me how I can get to do them all . There is one secret to it , and that's that good things come up in bad times ; it's only when people are put under immense pressure that they start to think life could be different.
good luck
