Ten Things You Need to Do
1. Eliminate Distractions
No matter where you are, if you have something you need to get done , the best place to begin is with identifying what distracts you the most. It sounds silly, but my poodle “Louie” is a very distracting little guy. When I have a big project, I make sure that he is comfortably closed up in my room with his food and water and that he stays there until I am done or ready for a break. I get so much more done when he is not hovering around, needing attention. Before you focus on the task at hand, figure out what little things distract you, and get them out of the picture. This could be anything from a pet to an electronic device (see #5).
2. Clean Up & Organize Your Space

What a great excuse to do a little cleaning! I mean, seriously, how much better does it feel to walk into a clean room; free of a coffee mug from yesterday and the dirty frying pan in the sink (My office is next to my kitchen at home)? Whether it be right when you wake up, or right before you go to bed each night, make time for keeping your space clean. It just feels SO much better to work in, and is accompanied by peace of mind.
Now, if you have a workspace with a great big pile of scattered paperwork, there is a trick I like to use for organizing papers and other items that are within arm’s length on my desk:
Start with papers and make ONE stack, then clear ALL clutter except for a pen, a notebook, post-its or index cards for quick tasks, and whatever I am drinking (probably coffee & a water bottle).
Then take the stack and divide it into 3 piles:
- Stack 1: Take Action (Pay, Call back, or Complete)
- Stack 2: File Away
- Stack 3: Trash
Attack the things you need to take action on within an hour, then file/mail the completed task paperwork. Throw away the trash asap, and File last. I like to file my “File Away” stack of papers ONCE a week. There is nothing more annoying than having bills everywhere that are from 2 months ago. If you don’t file your paperwork, then shred it and rid it from your space. It is amazing how much paper can catch your eye and distract you from what you are trying to accomplish.
3. Work Out When You Wake Up
Working out is great for the body, the spirit, and the MIND. Working out within a scheduled morning timeframe is such a great start to the day, and will actually provide energy for your mind to produce its greatest works. It was really difficult for me to make this a habit. But now that it is, I cannot explain the difference it has made. On the days that I take off, I fill in the morning space with laundry.
4. Music
Music can be a great way to get into what you are doing! Some people need silence, but for others, there is great rhythmic potential out there that is perfectly aligned with your mind’s resonance frequency. Some playlists I like to listen to include: Philip Glass, Classical, Yoga tunes, Native American Music, & other instrumental soundtracks from epic movies like “Last of the Mohicans.” I believe there is inspiration in music, but there are times when earplugs work best for the moment, depending on the project.
5. Get Off your Phone, Skype, Twitter & Facebook!
If you are using these media tools as a key component to your business, then of course don’t eliminate them…but seriously, how many times do you need to check your Facebook or Lindsay Lohan’s Twitter updates? I am very wrapped up in social media, so I know how much of my time gets sucked into the black hole of my virtual social life! Once I set specific times for breaks, I found that I started getting things done quickly and efficiently in my business. I am talking a NOTICEABLE difference. I set rules for my computer use to only have the relevant tabs open and to only use my phone when it pertains to the project. I don’t turn my phone off or anything dramatic, I just text my friends that I will call them at a later time and make post it notes for actually doing it.
Social Media is great, but if you are working on getting something done so you can have more time for it, I really like to treat it as if I had a boss standing over my shoulder monitoring what I was doing. Would a boss think that updating your Facebook with baseball scores was a good use of company time? If you answered “No”, then do yourself the favor of acting accordingly.
6. Set Up Email Auto-Response
Unless you are using your email for what you are doing, I find that Timothy Feris’s book The 4 Hour Work Week had a great point. He wrote about the distraction of email. He was referring to his clients, but I picked up a great tip from this book (amongst many others) that I use specifically for eliminating the distraction of correspondence: Check Email Twice a Day, and set up an auto reply that explains and defines the times that you have chosen. Then ONLY check and reply to email during those designated times. That way you cannot be distracted 100 times throughout the day. If your job calls for constantly checking email, then this may not work for you. If you are constantly distracted and bothered by email, setting this up can be a great benefit to you.
7. Clear Your Day
Try to do all of your shopping and socializing during the weekends, or during windows that you have planned ahead of time. If you do your shopping for the week on Sundays, it will really support you in not having to leave the house to get food. I use Costco to stock up on breakfast lunch and dinner for at least a week for my husband and I. Not only does it save me an excuse of leaving the house, but it saves a ton of money. Get all of your “chores” and routine things, such as the gym and laundry, done during the early morning.
8. Organize Your Computer Files
My husband really used to get on my case about my messy desktop files. I cannot tell you how much better my life has been since I have cleaned up my files, deleted old crap from my computer, and labeled my photos & documents properly. This can be a very hefty project, taking up a couple days, maybe weeks. But if you have the time to do it, I highly suggest it. I also have been using Google Docs as well as DropBox for storing and sharing files with clients and co-workers. It allows me to access my files without being at my computer, which has been very helpful on multiple occasions.
9. Schedule Meal & Coffee Breaks
…and stick to them! Food can really be a burden, if you don’t have all of my groceries for the week purchased I definitely recommend determining a plan of action with a start and end time for meal breaks. It is very easy to go out to eat and end up getting distracted with other things while you are out of the house. Focus on the task and stick to your breaks like you would obey the bell in grade school.
Coffee & Tea are a great way to stimulate the mind and get the body moving. “Legal drugs for the mind” is what I like to refer to caffeine as. If you aren’t into it, there is always an apple to get you going! I’ve heard that an apple wakes you up more than a cup of coffee. That’s just what I’ve heard, I’m no doctor, but it seems like an experiment worth trying, no?
10. Good Attitude = Good to go!
You are strong, committed, and able! A good attitude can get you through a multitude of challenges in life. Setting up a productive environment may now seem like a near impossible task, but I promise that creating these good habits, are just as easy as creating bad ones- it is just a matter of a little self discipline.
I wrote this article as a testimony to the transformation a custom work environment can make. I committed to disciplining myself, in order to produce more business and get more done each day. Everything is possible with the right attitude
Boys Are Always Boys
Harry came to his mother one morning while she was having her breakfast. and said to her, ٌNo one at my school likes me, Mother The teachers don’t , and the children don’t . Even the cleaners and the bus drivers hate me ٌ.
Well, Harry, his mother answered, ٌ perhaps you aren’t very nice to him. If a few people don’t like a person, he or she may not be responsible for that; but if a lot of people don’t, there’s usually something wrong, and that person really needs to change
Don’t be silly, Harry, his mother said, going towards the garage to get the car out. You have to go. You’re quite well, and you still have a lot of things to learn.
And besides that, you’re the headmaster of the school.
" من نمی خوام به مدرسه برم "
مادرش جواب داد : خوب هری شاید رفتار تو با آنها خیلی خوب نبوده اگر عده کمی از مردم شخصی را دوست ندارند، آن شخص تقصیری ندارد ، اما اگر تعداد زیادی او را دوست ندارند معمولا رفتار او اشتباه بوده است .
هری گفت: من ديگه براي تغيير خيلي پير هستم. من نمی خواهم به مدرسه بروم . مادرش در حالی که به پارکینگ می رفت تا ماشین را بیرون ببرد . گفت : هری احمق نباش تو باید بروی . تو خیلی خوبی و هنوز چیزهای زیادی هست که باید یاد بگیری.
و علاوه بر آن تو مدیر مدرسه هستی !!!آ
Some New Quotes
Good things come to those who wait… greater things come to those who get off their ass and do anything to make it happen.
In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.
Dont be afraid to stand for what you believe in, even if that means standing alone.
We learn something from everyone who passes through our lives.. Some lessons are painful, some are painless.. but, all are priceless.
Three things you cannot recover in life: the WORD after it’s said, the MOMENT after it’s missed and the TIME after it’s gone. Be Careful!
Walk away from anything or anyone who takes away from your joy. Life is too short to put up with fools.
Carrot, egg or coffee beans
Carrot, egg or coffee beans
A
daughter complained to her mother about her life and how things were so hard
for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up.
She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a
new one arose.
Her mother, a chef, took her to the kitchen. she filled three pots with water
and placed each on a gas burner. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one she placed
carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and the last he placed ground coffee
beans. she let them sit and boil, without saying a word.
The daughter impatiently waited, wondering what she was doing. In about twenty minutes she got up and turned off the burners. she fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. she took the eggs out and placed them a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her she asked. “Darling, what do you see?” “Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied.
she brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. she then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg.
Finally, she asked her to sip the
coffee. She smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. She asked. “What does it mean mother?”
she explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but
each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. But
after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.
The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid
interior. But after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became
hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique however. After they were in the
boiling water, they had changed the water.
“Which are you?” she asked her
daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a
carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?” How about you?
Are you the carrot that seems hard, but with pain and adversity do you wilt and
become soft and lose your strength?
Are you the egg, which starts off with a malleable heart? Were you a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, or a layoff have you become hardened and stiff? Your shell looks the same, but are you bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and heart? Or are you like the coffee bean? The bean changes the hot water, the thing that is bringing the pain. When the water gets the hottest, it just tastes better. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and make things better around you.
مادرش او را به آشپزخانه برد و بدون آنکه چیزی بگوید سه تا کتری را آب کرد و گذاشت که بجوشد. سپس توی اولی هویج ریخت در دومی تخم مرغ و در سومی دانه های قهوه. بعد از بیست دقیقه که آب کاملاً جوشیده بود گازها را خاموش کرد و اول هویج را در ظرفی گذاشت، سپس تخم مرغها را هم در ظرفی گذاشت و قهوه را هم در ظرفی ریخت و جلوی دخترش گذاشت. سپس از دخترش پرسید که چه میبینی؟
او پاسخ داد : هویج، تخم مرغ، قهوه. مادر از او خواست که هویجها را لمس کند و بگوید که چگونهاند؟ او این کار را کرد و گفت نرمند. بعد از او خواست تخم مرغها را بشکند، بعد از این که پوسته آن را جدا کرد، تخم مرغ سفت شده را دید و در آخر از او خواست که قهوه را بچشد.
دختر از مادرش پرسید مفهوم اینها چیست؟
مادر به او پاسخ داد: هر سه این مواد در شرایط سخت و یکسان بودهاند، آب جوشان، اما هرکدام عکسالعمل متفاوتی نشان دادهاند. هویج در ابتدا بسیار سخت و محکم به نظر میآمد اما وقتی در آب جوشان قرار گرفت به راحتی نرم و ضعیف شد. تخم مرغ که در ابتدا شکننده بود و پوسته بیرونی آن از مایع درونی آن محافظت میکرد، وقتی در آب جوش قرار گرفت مایه درونی آن سفت و محکم شد. دانه های قهوه که یکتا بودند، بعد از قرار گرفتن در آب جوشان، آب را تغییر دادند.
مادر از دخترش پرسید: تو کدامیک از این مواد هستی؟ وقتی شرایط بد و سختی پیش میآید تو چگونه عمل میکنی؟ تو هویج، تخم مرغ یا دانه های قهوه هستی؟
به این فکر کن که من چه هستم؟ آیا من هویج هستم که به نظر محکم میآیم، اما در سختیها خم میشوم و مقاومت خود را از دست میدهم؟ آیا من تخم مرغ هستم که با یک قلب نرم شروع میکند اما با حرارت محکم میشود؟
یا من دانه قهوه هستم که آب داغ را تغییر داد؟ وقتی آب داغ شد آن دانه بوی خوش و طعم دل پذیری را آزاد کرد. اگر تو مانند دانه های قهوه باشی هر چه شرایط بدتر میشود تو بهتر میشوی و شرایط را به نفع خودت تغییر میدهی

Powerful Lessons I’ve Learned From Life
There are so many great lessons we all get from life. I personally made a list with some of the most important ones so far, lessons who have had a great impact in my life, and they have helped me become the person I am today. I know there are many more to come and I am ready and open and receptive to them all.
1. We get treated in life the way we teach others to treat us
You have no idea how true this is. It was us who allowed THEM at one point to start treating us the way they do and little by little you got into the mess we are right now, having to live with the consequences. Respect and love yourself and others will do the same.
2. There are no mistakes, only lessons we need to master
The idea is for us to learn from everything and everyone, of course, if you want to, and if you don’t, well, your life will look at 40’s the same way it did when you were 20 and at 60’s the way it looked when you were 40, and so on.
3. Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself
A lot of people think that the moment they decide to forgive somebody who once hurt them, the person who receives the forgiveness is the only one who will benefit from this kind gesture, but that’s not the case. I can tell you that the person who will benefit the most is the person who does the forgiving. Holding onto anger and resentment can do you no good; it’s like having a clenched fist 24/7.
4. What you resist persists and what you focus on expands
We’re resisting change, we’re resisting our problems, resisting the weather, resisting our friends and family, resisting our responsibilities, our job, our boss… our lives. There are so many things we are resisting, not realizing that resistance will only make things worse. Carl Jung talks about this, warning us that what we resist not only will persist but will also grow in size.
5. Life is all about the journey and less about the destination
A lot of times we get so caught up in what we want to achieve, that perfect picture, that end result, that we forget to live and to really enjoy life, to enjoy this journey that is called life. Now, you may want to take a deep cleansing breath, and allow yourself to be present in everything you do; allow yourself to enjoy each second of your life; to observe the world around you; to observe the people that are present in your life and the beauty that is present within you and all around you, life in general.
6. People deserve a second chance
The moment you forgive somebody, chances are that you will also give them a second chance, a chance to be near you, without trying to remind them of what they did to you, treating them not as they are, or as they once were, but rather as you want them to be. By doing this, you are also allowing them to grow and to become better and better every day. Your ego might tell you to “let these people go” but what does your heart tell you? We are all humans, we all make mistakes, and we all deserve a second chance, and why not, maybe a third and a forth, a sixth and a seventh…
7. If you don’t believe in yourself, nobody will
Don’t expect others to see gold where you can only see dust. If you don’t believe in yourself, if you don’t believe that you are a capable, a worthy human being, chances are that nobody will. You will act on that belief and people will treat you based on what you think about yourself, based on how you treat yourself and based on how you act and behave in the world.
8. Our attitude toward life will determine life’s attitude toward us
If you think life is unfair, that bad things always happen to you, changes are that life will treat you unfairly, and you will always have many reasons to complain about, while on the other hand, if you think life is a gift, a gift for you to enjoy, not to keep, that wonderful things always happen to you, that wonderful people are being drawn to you, life will give you all of those things and even more. Just how there is a law of gravity, there is also a law of attraction, and based on this law, you attract in your life that which you think about all day long, you attract that which you are, because you see, like attracts like.
9. If you love yourself, chances are that others will love you also
It’s all about self love, it all starts with self love. If you don’t have love for yourself, how can you expect to get it from somebody else? Love yourself and others will love you also.
10. The world has plenty of information but not enough inspiration
If you think about it, now with the technological revolution, we get access to so much information. Let’s take for example a tiny chip. How much information can you store on it? Isn’t it incredible? We have more information than ever… but when it comes to inspiration (in- spirit) I would say that we have a deficit. We focus too much on the outside and not enough on the inside. We can’t seem to understand that it all starts from within. If the inside is a mess, the outside will also be a mess. Listen to your heart, listen to your intuition and know that: “The only real valuable thing is intuition.” Albert Einstein
11. The world won’t change if you don’t change
You hear people all the time complaining about how crazy the world is and how they want it to change, but if you tell them to make the first step…: “What? Me? Do you think there is something wrong with me? I am perfect, there is nothing I need to change. These people are crazy and they need to change, not me! They are the ones who are destroying us all, not me… Those bastards!”
You see, the outside world is a reflection of who we all are on the inside, and all this madness that is taking place around us, is a result of our collective consciousness, and unfortunately it’s a very polluted consciousness. It’s not just them, it’s us, us all. If we want the world to change, we have to start with ourselves, and trust me, there is something wrong with many of us. With you, with me, with he and she…
12. Loneliness is different from solitude
There is a difference between being lonely and being in solitude. When you are in solitude, you take advantage of it to get in touch with you inner self, to meditate and to quite you mind, and that constant need to be around others in order for you to no longer feel lonely, will disappear. Wayne Dyer talk about this in such a wonderful way, saying that we can never be lonely if we like the person we’re alone with. If you like yourself, if you have no problem with your own person, if you have accepted yourself completely, you will be content with having some quiet time, away from all the noise. You will feel happy when alone and also when surrounded by other people.
13. The more we express our gratitude, the more things we will have to be grateful for
The law of attraction works in all that is good and also in all that is bad, and it’s only up to us whether we choose to focus our attention on the negative or on the positive. Focus your attention on the many great things you have and you are grateful for, and you will see that the more you do that, the more reasons you will have to express your gratitude for.
14. Patience is a virtue
In order for things to happen, in order for anything to happen, we need to be patient. We first plant the seed of greatness and then we wait for it to grow, we allow it to grow; we take care of it and we protect it. Great things take time and we need to learn how to give time, time.
15. Courage is not the absence of fear
Fear, that crazy fear who won’t allow us to move forward, who won’t allow us to grow and transform our lives and of those around us will always be present in our lives. Even though many of us know that fear does not exist and that fear is only in our mind, we choose to be paralyzed by it and we choose to allow it to control our lives, our dreams, our goals and the level of our happiness. Fear will be present whenever you want to stretch, whenever you want to get out of your comfort zone and whenever you want to do more, be more, have more. What we need to do is look beyond it, and to always be aware of the fact that most of the things we fear never happen, because FEAR is nothing more than False Expectation Appearing Real.

The interview with God
I dreamed I had an interview with God.
در رويا ديدم که با خدا حرف ميزنم
So you would like to interview me? God asked.
او از من پرسيد :آيا مايلي از من چيزي بپرسي؟
If you have the time? I said.
گفتم :اگر وقت داشته باشيد
God smiled:My time is eternity
لبخندي زد و گفت: زمان براي من تا بي نهايت ادامه دارد
What questions do you have in mind for me?
چه پرسشي در ذهن تو براي من هست؟
What surprises you most about humankind?

عجله دارند بزرگ شوند و سپس

Why Women Cry Easy
"Why Women Are Strong But Cry Easy"
One day, a young boy asked his Mom."Why are you crying?"
"Because I'm a
woman" she told him.
"I don't understand," he said.
His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will, but that's
okay."
Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does Mom seem to cry for no
reason?"
"All women cry for no reason" was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.
Finally, he put in a call to God.
When God got back to him, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"
God answered, "When I made woman, I decided she had to be special.
I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet her arms gentle nough to give comfort.
I gave her the inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times will come, even from her own children.
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going and take care of her family and friends, even when everyone else gives up, through sickness and fatigue, without complaining.
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her badly.
She has the very special power to make a child's boo-boo feel better and to quell a teenager's anxieties and fears.
I gave her strength to care for her husband, despite faults, and I fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfaltering.
For all of this hard work, I also gave her a tear to shed.
It is hers to use whenever needed and is her only weakness."
"When you see her cry, tell her how much you love her and all she does for everyone.
And even though she may still cry, you will have made her heart feel good."
"She is special!"
The Butterfly's Lesson

درس پروانه
One day, a small opening appeared in a cocoon; a man sat and watched for the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.
مردی ساعت های متوالی نشسته بود و به تلاش پروانه ای برای خروج از پیله اش نگاه می کرد پروانه توانست حفره کوچکی ایجاد کند اما بدنش بزرگتر از آن بود که از آن حفره بگذرد
It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could not go any further. Then, it seems to stop making any progress.
بعد از زمان درازی ، به نظر رسید که خسته شده و بی حرکت ماند.

So the man decided to help the butterfly: he took a pair of scissors and opened the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily.
مرد تصمیم گرفت به پروانه کمک کند: با دقت بقیه پیله را باز کرد و بی درنگ پروانه را آزاد کرد.

But it had a withered body, it was tiny and shriveled wings.
اما بدن پروانه مچاله و کوچک بود.
The man continued to watch because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would open, enlarge and expand, to be able to support the butterfly’s body, and become firm.
مرد همچنان پروانه را نگاه کرد ، امیدوار بود که هر لحظه بالهای پروانه باز شوند و به پرواز در آید .اما هیچ اتفاقی نیفتاد.

Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a withered body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.
پروانه ، بقیه زندگیش را با بدنی مچاله و بال های به هم چسبیده گذراند . نمی توانست پرواز کند.

What the man, in his kindness and his goodwill did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening, were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings, so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
مرد نیکوکار نفهمیده بود که آن سوراخ کوچک و تلاش پروانه برای عبور از آن سوراخ، روشی است که طبیعت برای ورزیده کردن بدن و تقویت بال های پروانه به کار می برد.
Sometimes, struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been. Never been able to fly.
گاهی کار طاقت فرسا ، درست همان چپزی است که ما را برای رویارویی با مانع بعدی آماده می کند .کسی که از این کار طاقت فرسا خودداری کند ، یا کسی که کمک نادرستی بگیرد ، نمی تواند به شرایط شرکت در مسابقه بعدی دست یابد، و هرگز نمی تواند به سوی سرنوشتش پرواز کند.


I asked for Strength... and God gave me difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for Wisdom... and God gave me problems to solve.
I asked for prosperity...and God gave me a brain and brawn to work.

I asked for Courage…and God gave me obstacles to overcome.
I asked for Love...and God gave me troubled people to help.
I asked for Favors...and God gave me Opportunities.
"I received nothing I wanted...but I received everything I needed."

"Live life without fear, confront all obstacles and know that you can overcome them."
WOMEN AS EXPLAINED BY ENGINEERS
Have you ever wondered how a woman's brain works?
Well....it's finally explained here in one, easy-to-understand illustration:

Every one of those little blue balls is a thought about something
that needs to be done, a decision or a problem that needs to be solved!!!
وقتی خدا زن را آفرید.....
When God created woman he was working late on the 6th day
وقتی خدا زن را آفرید، او تا دیر وقت روز ششم کار می کرد.
An angel came by and said: “Why spend so much time on that one?”
یکی از فرشتگان نزد خدا آمد و عرض کرد: چرا اینهمه زمان صرف این مخلوق می کنید؟
And the Lord answered:
خداوند فرمود:
“Have you seen all the
specifications I have to meet to shape her?”
آیا از تمام خصوصیاتی که برای شکل دادنش می خواهم در او بکار ببرم اطلاع دارید؟
She must be washable, but not made of plastic, have more than 200 moving parts which all must be replaceable and she must function on all kinds of food, she must be able to embrace several kids at the same time, give a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart and she must do all this with only two hands”.
او باید قابل شستشو باشد، اما نه از جنس پلاستیک، با بیش از دویست قسمت متحرک با قابلیت جایگزینی. او آنها را باید برای تولید انواع غذاها بکار ببرد، او باید قادر باشد چند کودک را همزمان در بغل بگیرد، آغوشش را برای التیام بخشیدن به هر چیزی از یک زانوی زخمی گرفته تا یک قلب شکسته بگشاید. او باید تمام اینکارها را با دو دست خود انجام بدهد.
The angel was impressed.
فرشته تحت تأثیر قرار گرفت.
“Just two hands....impossible!“
”فقط با دو دستش... این غیر ممکن است!“
And this is the standard model?!
و آیا این یک مدل استاندارد است؟
“Too much work for one day....wait until tomorrow and then complete her“.
”اینهمه کار برای یک روز ... تا فردا صبر کن و آنوقت او را کامل کن”
I will not”, said the Lord. “I am so close to complete this creation, which will be the favorite of my heart”.
خدا فرمود: اینکار را نخواهم کرد و خیلی زود این موجود را که محبوب دلم است، کامل خواهم کرد.
“She cures herself when sick and she can work 18 hours a day”.
وقتی که ناخوش است، از خودش مراقبت می کند. او می تواند 18 ساعت در روز کار کند.
The angel came nearer and touched the woman.
فرشته نزدیکتر آمد و زن را لمس کرد.
“But you have made her so
soft, Lord”
”اما ای خدا، او را بسیار لطیف آفریدی.“
“She is soft", said the Lord, “But I have
also made her strong. You can’t imagine what she can endure and overcome.“
خداوند فرمود: بله او لطیف است، اما او را قوی نیز ساخته ام.
نمی توانی تصور کنی که او چه سختیهایی را می تواند تحمل کند و بر آن فائق شود.
“Can she think?" the angel asked.
فرشته پرسید آیا او می تواند فکر کند؟
The Lord answered:
“Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate.”
خداوند پاسخ داد: نه تنها می تواند فکر کند، بلکه می تواند استدلال و بحث کند.
The angel touched the womans cheek....
فرشته گونه های زن را لمس کرد.
“Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her.”
” خدایا، بنظر می رسد این موجود چکه می کند! شما مسئولیت بسیار زیادی بر دوش او گذاشته ای.“
“She is not leaking....it’s a tear” the lord
corrected the angel
”او چکه نمی کند.... این اشک است“ خداوند گفته فرشته را اصلاح کرد.
“What’s it for?" asked the angel.
فرشته پرسید ”این اشک به چه کار می آید؟“
And the Lord said:
“Tears are her way of expressing grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride.”
و خداوند فرمود:
”اشکها وسیله او برای بیان غم هاو تردیدهایش، عشق اش و تنهایی اش، تحمل رنجها و غرور اش است.“
This made a big impression on the angel; “Lord, you are genius.
You thought of everything. The woman is indeed marvellous!”
این گفته فرشته را بسیار تحت تأثیر قرار داد و گفت ”خدایا تو نابغه ای. تو فکر همه چیز را کرده ای. زن واقعا موجود شگفت انگیزی است.“
Indeed she is!
Woman has strengths that amazes man. She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.
آری او واقعاًشگفت انگیز است! زن تواناییهایی دارد که مرد را شگفت زده می کند. او مشکلات را پشت سر می گذارد و مسئولیتهای سنگین را بر دوش می کشد.
She holds happiness, love and opinions.
She smiles when feeling like screaming.
او شادی، عشق و اندیشه را با هم دارد. او می خندد هنگامی که احساسی شبیه جیغ کشیدن دارد.
She sings when she feels like crying, crys when she is happy and laughs when she is afraid.
او آواز می خواند وقتی احساسی شبیه گریه کردن دارد، وقتی که خوشحال است گریه می کند و وقتی که ترسیده است می خندد.
She fights for what she belives in.
Stand up against injustice.
او برای آنچه اعتقاد دارد مبارزه می کند و علیه بی عدالتی می ایستد.
She doesn't take “no” for an answer, when she can see a better solution. She gives herself so her family can thrive. She takes her friend to the doctor if she is afraid.
وقتی که راه حل بهتری بیابد، برای جواب دادن از کلمه ”نه“ استفاده نمی کند. او خودش را وقف پیشرفت خانواده اش می کند. او دوست پریشان حالش را نزد پزشک می برد.
Her love is unconditional.
عشق او مطلق و بدون قید و شرط است.
She cries when her kids are victorious. She is happy when her friends do well.
She is glad when she hears of a birth or a wedding.
وقتی فرزندانش موفق می شوند گریه می کند. و از اینکه دوستانش روزگار خوشی دارند خوشحال می شود.
او از شنیدن خبر تولد و عروسی شاد می شود.
Her heart is broken when a next of kin or friend dies.
وقتی دوستان و نزدیکان او فوت می کنند دلش می شکند.
But she finds the strength to get on with life.
ولی او برای فائق آمدن بر زندگی نیرو می گیرد.
She knows that a kiss and a hug can heal a broken heart.
او می داند که یک بوسه و یک آغوش می تواند یک دل شکسته را التیام بخشد.
There is only one thing wrong with her
او فقط یک اشکال دارد.
She forgets what she is
worth...
فراموش می کند که او چه ارزشی دارد...
Lose weight without dieting
Lose weight without dieting!!!
Those who think skipping breakfast is a great way to cut calories usually end up eating more throughout the day. Have a bowl of whole-grain cereal with fruits or something light such a idlis for a quick and nutritious start to your day.
Have your dinner as early as you can. This will give your body ample time to digest what has been eaten. Don't have paranthas or other heavy stuff for dinner. Rely on vegetables and enjoy a small bowl of light ice cream or frozen yogurt if you want something sweet after dinner.
Limit alcohol, fizzy drinks, sugary drinks and colas as these are packed with calories. Instead have fresh fruit juices, skim or low-fat milk, vegetable soups and juices and water.
Fruits and vegetable salads make you feel fuller and leave less space of other fatty foods. So, stock your kitchen with plenty of fruits and vegetables and at every meal and snack, include a few servings.
Add whole grains and fiber to your diet. Choose whole-wheat breads and pastas, brown rice, bran flakes, popcorn, and whole-rye crackers.
Instead of having three king-sized meals, have six smaller meals.
Throughout the day, do whatever you can to be more - take stairs instead of lift, park your car a little away from your office so that you get to walk, take your dog for a walk daily.
Adding a source of lean protein to each meal and snack will help keep you feeling full longer so you're less likely to overeat. So, have low-fat yogurt, nuts, peanut butter, eggs, or lean meats.
Use the low-fat versions of salad dressings rather than mayonnaise, cheese, dairy products, and other products.
Last but not the least, you have to exercise to stay in shape and lose weight. That's the best way to burn calories.
Thought for Today
Give Up the Habit of Worrying
As
we grow in strength in our spiritual life, we give up the habit of
worrying. It serves no purpose other than to make us feel tense and
miserable. When I stop fretting about things that are beyond my control
and focus instead on generating optimistic and kind thoughts, my life
can begin to flow in ever more positive directions. Such a light and
easy approach to life enables me to take everything in my stride.
MAY BE
Maybe. . We were supposed to meet the
Wrong people before meeting the right
One so that, when we finally meet the
Right person, we will know how to be
Grateful for that gift.
Maybe . . . It is true that we don't
Know what we have until we lose it,
But it is also true that we don't know
What we have been missing until it
Arrives.
Maybe . . . The brightest future will
Always be based on a forgotten past;
After all, you can't go on
Successfully in life until you let go
Of your past mistakes, failures and
Heartaches.
Maybe . . You should hope for enough
Happiness to make you sweet, enough
Trials to make you strong, enough
Sorrow to keep you human, and enough
Hope to make you happy.
Maybe . . . The happiest of people
Don't necessarily have the best of
Everything; they just make the most of
Everything that comes along their way.
Maybe .. . . The best kind of friend is
The kind you can sit on a porch and
Swing with, never say a word, and then
Walk away feeling like it was the best
Conversation you've ever had.
Maybe . . . Happiness waits for all
Those who cry, all those who hurt, all
Those who have searched, and all those
Who have tried, for only they can
Appreciate the importance of all the
People who have touched their lives.
May be . . You should do something nice
For someone every single day, even if
It is simply to leave them alone.
Maybe . . . There are moments in life
When you miss someone -- a parent,
a
Spouse, a friend, a child -- so much
That you just want to pick them from
Your dreams and hug them for real, so
That once they are around you
Appreciate them more.
Maybe … giving someone all your love
Is never an assurance that they will
Love you back. Don't expect love in
Return; just wait for it to grow in
Their heart; but, if it doesn't, be
Content that it grew in yours.
Maybe .. . . You should dream what you
Want to dream; go where you want to
Go, be what you want to be, because
You have only one life and one chance
To do all the things you dream of, and
Want to do.
"Life is only traveled ONCE; Today’s MOMENT becomes Tomorrow’s MEMORY.
Enjoy every moment, good or bad, because the GIFT of LIFE is LIFE itself…."
Be Grateful

STAY BEAUTIFUL WITHIN AND WITHOUT
If we take the time, no matter how crazy and troubled we feel
we can find something to be thankful for.— Terry Lynn Taylor

So, how much gratitude can you handle today?
Say "thank you" for EVERY little thing that you do or encounter... And I mean EVERY LITTLE thing.
قـرار نبـوده چنیـن آشفتـه و سردرگـم شویـم
قـرار نبـوده چنیـن آشفتـه و سردرگـم شویـم ...
قرار نبوده تا نم باران زد، دستپاچه شویم و زود چتری از جنس پلاستیک روی سر بگیریم که مبادا مثل کلوخ آب شویم
قرار نبوده این قدر دور شویم و مصنوعی،
ناخن های مصنوعی، دندان های مصنوعی،
خنده های مصنوعی، آوازهای مصنوعی، دغدغه های مصنوعی ...
هر چه فكر میکنم میبینم قرار نبوده ما این چنین
با بغل دستی هایمان در
رقابت های تنگانگ باشیم
تا اثبات کنیم موجود بهتری هستیم
این همه مسابقه و مقام و رتبه و دندان به هم نشان دادن برای چیست؟
قرار نبوده همه از دم درس خوانده بشویم،
از دم دکترا به دست بر روی زمین خدا راه برویم
بعید می دانم راه تعالی بشری از دانشگاه ها و مدرک های ما رد بشود
باید کسی هم باشد که گوسفندها را هی کند، دراز بکشد نی لبک بزند با سوز هم بزند.
قرار نبوده این همه در محاصره سیمان و آهن،
طبقه روی طبقه برویم بالا
قرار نبوده این تعداد میز و صندلیِ کارمندی روی زمین وجود داشته باشد
بی شک این همه کامپیوتر و پشت های غوز کرده آدم های
ماسیده در هیچ
کجای خلقت لحاظ نشده بوده ...
تا به حال بیل زدهاید؟
باغچه هرس کردهاید؟
آلبالو و انار چیدهاید؟
کلاً خسته از یک روز کار یَدی به رختخواب رفتهاید؟
آخ که با هیچ خواب دیگری قابل مقایسه نیست.
این چشم ها برای نور مهتاب یا نور ستارگان کویر،
برای دیدن رنگ زرد گل آفتابگردان،
برای خیره شدن به جاریِ آب شاید،
اما برای ساعت پشت ساعت، روز پشت روز، شب پشت شب خیره ماندن به نور مهتابی مانیتورها آفریده نشدهاند.
قرار نبوده خروس ها دیگر به هیچ کار نیایند و ساعت های دیجیتال به جایشان صبح خوانی کنند.
آواز جیرجیرک های شب نشین حکمتی داشته حتماً،
که شاید لالایی طبیعت باشد برای به خواب رفتن ما تا قرص خواب لازم نشویم
و این طور شب تا صبح پرپر زدن اپیدمی نشود.
من فکر میکنم قرار نبوده کار کردن، جز بر طرف کردن غم نان،
بشود همه دار و ندار زندگی مان، همه دغدغه زنده بودن مان.
قرار نبوده کنار هم بودن و زاد و ولد کردن،
این همه
قانون مدنی عجیب و غریب و دادگاه و مهر و حضانت و نفقه و زندان و گروکشی و ضعف اعصاب داشته باشد.
قرار نبوده این طور از آسمان دور باشیم و سی سال بگذرد از عمرمان و یک شب هم زیر طاق ستاره ها نخوابیده باشیم.
قرار نبوده کرِم ضد آفتاب بسازیم تا بر علیه خورشید عالم تاب و گرما و محبتش، زره بگیریم و جنگ کنیم.
قرار
نبوده چهل سال از زندگی رد کنیم اما کف پایمان یک بار هم بی واسطه کفش لاستیکی
یا چرمی یک مسافت صد متری را با زمین معاشرت نکرده باشد.
قرار نبوده من از اینجا و شما از آنجا، صورتک زرد به نشانه سفت بغل کردن
و بوسیدن و دوست داشتن برای هم بفرستیم ...
چیز زیادی از زندگی نمیدانم، اما همین قدر میدانم که این همه قرار نبوده ای
که برخلافشان اتفاق افتاده، همگی مان را آشفته و سردرگم کرده !
آنقدر که فقط میدانیم خوب نیستیم، از هیچ چیز راضی نیستیم، اما سر در نمیآوریم چرا ...
بامبو و سرخس
** **
He quit his job, his relationship, his spirituality... I wanted to quit mylife. ****
** **
He went to the woods to have one last talk with God. ****
** **
"God", he said. "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?" ****
** **
His answer surprised him... ****
** **
"Look around", God said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?" ****
** **
"Yes", he replied. ****
** **
When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care ofthem. ****
I gave them light. I gave them water. ****
The fern quickly grew from the earth. ****
Its brilliant green covered the floor. ****
Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. ****
But I did not quit on the bamboo. ****
** **
In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. ****
And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. ****
But I did not quit on the bamboo. God said. ****
** **
"In the third year, there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But Iwould not quit. ****
** **
In the fourth year, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. "I wouldnot quit." God said.****
** **
"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. ****
Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant... ****
But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. ****
It had spent the five years growing roots. ****
Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. ****
I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle." ****
** **
God said to man. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have beenstruggling, you have actually been growing roots." ****
"I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you." Don't compareyourself to others .." God said. ****
** **
"The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern ... Yet, they both makethe forest beautiful"****
Your time will come, "God said to him." You will rise high! "****
** **
How high should I rise?" he asked. ****
** **
How high will the bamboo rise?" God asked in return. ****
** **
"As high as it can?" he questioned. ****
** **
"Yes." God said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."****

روزی تصمیم گرفتم كه دیگر همه چیز را رها كنم. شغلم را، دوستانم را، زندگی ام را!
به جنگلی رفتم تا برای آخرین بار با خدا صحبت كنم. به خدا گفتم: آیا می توانی
دلیلی برای ادامه زندگی برایم بیاوری؟
و جواب او مرا شگفت زده كرد.
او گفت
: آیا درخت سرخس و بامبو را می بینی؟
پاسخ دادم : بلی.
فرمود: هنگامی كه
درخت بامبو و سرخس راآفریدم، به خوبی ازآنها مراقبت نمودم. به آنها نور و غذای
كافی دادم. دیر زمانی نپایید كه سرخس سر از خاك برآورد و تمام زمین را فرا گرفت
اما از بامبو خبری نبود. من از او قطع امید نكردم. در دومین سال سرخسها بیشتر رشد
كردند و زیبایی خیره كننده ای به زمین بخشیدند اما همچنان از بامبوها خبری نبود.
من بامبوها را رها نكردم. در سالهای سوم و چهارم نیز بامبوها رشد نكردند. اما من
باز از آنها قطع امید نكردم. در سال پنجم جوانه كوچكی از بامبو نمایان شد. در
مقایسه با سرخس كوچك و كوتاه بود اما با گذشت 6 ماه ارتفاع آن به بیش از 100 فوت
رسید. 5 سال طول كشیده بود تا ریشه های بامبو به اندازه كافی قوی شوند.. ریشه
هایی كه بامبو را قوی می ساختند و آنچه را برای زندگی به آن نیاز داشت را فراهم
می كرد.
خداوند در ادامه فرمود: آیا می دانی در تمامی این سالها كه تو درگیر
مبارزه با سختیها و مشكلات بودی در حقیقت ریشه هایت را مستحكم می ساختی. من در
تمامی این مدت تو را رها نكردم همانگونه كه بامبوها را رها نكردم.
هرگز خودت
را با دیگران مقایسه نكن. بامبو و سرخس دو گیاه متفاوتند اما هر دو به زیبایی جنگل
كمك می كنن. زمان تو نیز فرا خواهد رسید تو نیز رشد می كنی و قد می كشی!
از
او پرسیدم : من چقدر قد می كشم.
در پاسخ از من پرسید: بامبو چقدر رشد می كند؟
جواب دادم: هر چقدر كه بتواند.
گفت: تو نیز باید رشد كنی و قد
بكشی، هر اندازه كه بتوانی...
