The meaning of happiness

The girl was only sixteen who fell in love with a boy. The boy was tall, had a low voice and always the top student of the class. She was not shy, but did not want to express her love for the boy. She felt lucky keeping this secret in her heart and seeing the boy from a distance. At the time, even a Hello turned the girl on. She who had learned how to make a paper sky, every day wrote one sentence for the boy and folded the paper like a pretty sky and put in a big bottle. Whenever she saw the physique of the boy, said a boy like him would love a girl whose hair is long and eyes big. The girl had very black hair, but short ; and whenever she smiled; her eyes were as thin as a line. At 19, she entered a mediocre university, and the boy was admitted into a prestigious university at the capital with a high rank. One night, while all the girls of the dormitory were writing a letter for their boy friends or talking to them on the phone, she looked at the long-time memorized number of the boy in silence. That night, she felt the real meaning of missing for the first time. The days were passing, and she was spending the colorful days of university regardless. During these four years, she was just thinking how she can be admitted into the university the boy will enter for M.A. Within this period, she never once got haircut. She was 22 that as a top student entered the boy’s college, but the boy graduated that year and got a job in school. The girl’s life went on like the past, and the number of her bottles had become six. She graduated from the university at the age of 25, and found a job where the boy lived. Through the contact by her friends, she could realize the boy has opened a company and set up in big business. A couple of months later, the girl received the boy’s wedding invitation card. In the wedding ceremony, the girl was only staring at the happy and lucky faces of broom and bride and intoxicated without drinking any alcohol. A couple of years elapsed; the girl was no longer young. She married one of her colleagues when she was 27. The night before wedding party, she wrote again on a piece of paper: I’ll marry tomorrow, but my heart is all for you…and folded the paper like a beautiful star. Ten years later, she happened to figure out the boy’s company is approaching serious problems and is being bankrupt. His wife has drifted apart and creditors are pestering him. She got upset and went in search of him. One night, she found the boy drunk at a wine bar. She did not say a lot, just gave him her credit card in which all her savings were stored. The boy held the girl’s hand tightly, but she rejected and said: you are drunk, take care of yourself. She turned to 55, broke up with her husband, and lived alone. During these years, he could save his business by her money. One day he found her and wanted to pay back double amount of his debt along with 20 percent of his company’s stock; but she refused to accept and said: we’re friends, aren’t we? The boy looked at her for along time and then smiled. Several months later, the boy married again. The girl sent him a nice letter of congratulation, but didn’t make his wedding party.  After awhile, she became ill severely; on her final days, she used to make a nice star every day in the hospital. At the last moment, she recognized the boy among her friends and relatives and said: in my room, I‘ve got 36 bottles; could you take care of them for me? The boy’s answer was so, and then she passed away with the smile of relaxation. The 77-year-old-man was resting in his yard that suddenly his grandson handed him a beautiful star and said: what does the writing on it say, grandpa? He got astounded by reading the words on the opened star and asked: where did you find it? He said: I found it in the bottle on your bookshelf. Grandpa, what’s been written on it? What are you crying for? The paper dropped. He read out the words, the meaning of happiness is that there is one in the world loving you with no regard to its consequences

The cause and effect law

      Thinking about people's lives, I made up my mind to write an article with which one of the finest success laws is concerned. I think today many people are not enjoying their lives and actually do not know how they can lead a life of joy. This article, if profoundly read, could be a turning point in your life and it can lead you to move up in the world. The law I just want to touch upon has unfortunately forgotten by many of us and what we all need is to believe it and by a careful planning, start putting it into practice.

       We all have heard that in order for something to take place- e.g. passing an exam- some events must come about beforehand. What I am going to elaborate on is the law of cause and effect. It simply means effects turn up for some causes. Suppose you want a cup of tea, or juice now, how this inclination turns out to come true? Can you get it if you just think about it and do nothing to reach it? Obviously Not.

      The problem is that many want to achieve their objectives without any attempt to attain. Do you think it is ever possible? There is a law telling us for gaining something, you need to accumulate its causes and juxtapose them in order for it to take place. Potentially, a baby is not born with just a woman or man. Eternally, if causes are not put together, effects are not to happen. In my opinion, it is apparent that we can expect nothing to take place unless we act. This is one of the certain laws of the world; any reaction needs an action. The difference between successful and unsuccessful people is concerned with their manner of acting. Putting knowledge into practice is the only quality differentiates between people. Therefore, from now going on, let's start keeping our life controlled and organized in order to see the unexpected results of this law.

       Do not think of a specific thing for along time, because thought is always looking for a way to shrink from responsibilities. Procrastination provides the chance for the thought to find a reason not to do the things you need to. So do not hesitate and start acting. Consider this fact and read the following. It is about the effects of the cause and effect law on our thoughts. I take it for granted that by doing what you are told, you will transform into a highly successful person.

      According to the cause and effect law, if we do something good, the result we get is certainly good. If you say salaam to somebody, he/she will say it back to you. Accordingly, the result of a bad deed is bad.

      Today, all of us are well aware of the effects of thought on our lives. The cause and effect law within the domain of thought is highly influential as it is within the domain of material. Optimistic thought is followed by a positive consequence and a negative one unquestionably is a result of pessimistic thought.

      This is the strength of the cause and effect law and if you appreciate it but observe it not, no one is held responsible for the consequences you get, but yourself. Although many people know this reality, they do not follow it and just complain God of their wretchedness and bad luck. That is because this law says if you intend something bad, what you reach is bad. If one says I am wretched, wretchedness is the sure thing penetrating into his/her life. If you follow the article, I promise you I am able to turn you into one you deserve.

      Majority of us say how can I feel happy and relaxed by these hardships and adversity? How can I feel wealthy when I cannot afford to eat?

      Never is it possible to feel fortunate overnight, and it is also impossible to feel as you are capable of anything overnight. We can achieve our goals in the shadow of effort. Let your day pass the way it does. I do not care to what extent you feel wretched. But I need to have your word, i.e. not to work outside 18 hours a day to succeed.

      The only promise that I want you to give is to work on your thoughts. The only effort one must make is in the field of thoughts, not anywhere else outside. If you work full time outside, you will not feel wealthy because you do not from within. Only put all your efforts on your thoughts and do it as long as you succeed.

      In order to be motivated to act, you need to suggest yourself that you are smart, talented, and ingenious. Refer to the things you know, and little by little, try to change your thoughts. After a period of time, unintentionally, you will change. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Never forget cause and effect law and never think pessimistically. Start practicing right now and be the witness of changes in your life. You will certainly taste the real joy of life.

Today, I ate meal with God

Knowing that reaching God needs along distance to be passed, a little boy wanted to meet God. For that reason, he packed some sandwiches and sodas into his suitcase and without letting others know, moved on. Passing some alleys, he arrived at a park, spotting an old man feeding the birds. He came up to the old man and sat next to him on the park bench. The old man looked like he had been starving, the child hungry too. Therefore, the little boy opened his suitcase and gave him a sandwich and soda. The old man got the meal and gave the boy a smile. It made the child happy and both started eating. They spend all the afternoon feeding the birds and having fun without conversing with each other. When the sky darkened, the little boy knew he should go back to home now, after taking some steps, he returned and hugged the old man tightly. The old man kissed him kindly, and dedicated a smile to him.

When the boy got back to home at night, his mother asked him worriedly: where have you been up to now?

The boy who seemed happy, answered: before God

The old man also got home. His old wife asked him shockingly: why are you so happy?

He responded: today was the best day of my lifetime ever. Today, at park, I ate meal with God!

BOX

''I have no free time. I cannot receive anyone.'' All day long, dad had a lot going on. He did not answer the letters for ages. He ate both his lunch and dinner in his room and had no time for anything. Therefore, my mother was fed up with his behavior. She decided to send him a different box in order to be able to talk more to him. As usual, I took the box for my dad. He had a glimpse of the box and me from under his glasses and then said ''that is a big box. Open it, surely an important thing is inside Open it.'' It was written on the box: ''please open it before the window.'' Shockingly, dad got the box from me and opened the window in order to open the box. He saw my mom from the window, waving her hand to him. At the time, a white dove jumped out of the box and flew

Today I have had an ambiguous feeling that cannot describe it…I know these days elapse, and when looking back, you see how soon they went by.

Oh,…people are very different and eccentric.

Today, they wish time passes very soon and tomorrow they wish to go back to these days.

Today they sacrifice their health to be rich and tomorrow, in order to restore their health, they will have to spend it all.

They don't value each other today, and tomorrow they know how disloyal they were to each other.

They live today in a way as if they will be alive forever, and tomorrow die in a way as if had not been alive one day.

Today ………..oh

I've got a big question mark in mind that I am sure no one except for myself is able to respond it.

However, I have not got the exact way to arrive at a response so far.  

Perhaps I need to get help from someone, but….no….

Who can be trusted then?!

Sometimes I hear words….sometimes I see some things causing not even depend on myself….

Sometimes I am upset about myself….since I become dumbfounded sometimes….since I sometimes become so naïve and believe others very soon ….and since sometimes I am upset about myself….and again sometimes……

I love these words very much

Today no one is confidant of the secrets of others

I have experienced that no one helps others

Do not spend time on friends uselessly

Spend it on one whose heart is for no one

Forget it….

To make a long story short,

If I become lonelier than lonely, God exists forever

He suffices for whatever I lack.

A fisherman

Two men were fishing near a lake. One of them was an experienced and skilled angler, but another knew nothing about it.

Whenever the experienced one caught a big fish, put it in a container filled with ice that was close to him. However, the amateur one threw it back at the lake as soon as he caught a big one.

The experienced angler was very shocked why he loses the fish. Therefore, after a little awhile asked him surprisingly:

How come do you throw these big fish at the sea?

 The man answered: because my pan is small.

Off and on, similarly, we do not take up the big chances, big jobs, big dreams, big opportunities dedicated by God, as we do not have faith in God.

We do ridicule a man whose only need was a bigger pan, but we are not aware that our only need is to trust in God.

God never ever grants you something you do not deserve.

 It truly means to try to utilize whatever meeting in lifetime with an absolute confidence.

Nothing is impossible for God.

Bear it in mind:

Do not tell your God how big your problems are.

Tell your problems how big your God is.

Expressing love

One day, a teacher asked his students at the class, can you say a way of expressing love which has not been done by anyone else before, I mean not repetitive one?

Several students said forgiveness would be the best way of expressing love. Some of them mentioned that ''giving flowers, presents,'' or ''lovely word'' would be a good way of that. Moreover, some other students pointed out ''being together, tolerating the hardships and enjoying happiness'' is a good way of expressing your love.

Suddenly, one boy got up and before suggesting his own way of expressing love, shared a short story with the class:

one day, a couple who were both biologist, as usual moved to jungle in order to do research. When they reached the top of hill, shockingly, confronted with an atypical situation in which made them have no movement.

A big tiger, standing in front of the couple and was staring at them. The man had not a rifle with him and had no way out.

They were both panicked and they did not dare to move away in front of the tiger. The tiger approached the man quietly. At the time, the biologist man let a shout out and abandoned his wife. Immediately, the tiger ran after him and some minutes late, the wife could hear the whines of her young husband. Then the tiger left there and the woman survived.

The narrator's face was drenched by tears, then continued: all the biologists know that tiger only attacks one who has a motion or run away. My Dad at that terrifying moment sacrificed himself before my Mom to survive her. It was the most sincere and faithful way of my Dad to express his love to me and my Mom.

Today, by this post, I am going to dedicate a nice message to those who love the daughter of the prophet, Fatimah. In Arabic, Fatimah is originated from Fa-Ta-Ma, meaning ' to separate', and then Fatimah means a person who separates, or separator.

One day, the prophet asked his daughter, do you know why are you named Fatimah by God?

Amir-Al-Momenin( the commander of faithful) was also there, then he immediately said, why is that, oh the prophet?

 قال رسول الله صلی الله علیه و آله

انما سمیت ابتنی فاطمه لان الله فطمها وفطم محبیها من النار.

بحارالانوارج 43، ص 16

دخترم به این جهت فاطمه نامیده شد، که خداوند

او و دوستدارانش را ازآتش جهنم دورساخته است.

The holy prophet (May God bless him and hid descendants) said, ''verily, my daughter has been named Fatimah for god has weaned her and the ones who love her from the hellfire.''

How to translate a text

You may are enthusiastic about knowing what stages, a translation embraces; and by that discover how complex and technical translation is. Translation is an innovative process that cannot be confined to some fixed steps. However, the essential stages of this process go like this:

In order to translate a text, first of all, you need to read the source language text completely in order to get the general impression and understanding of it. Reading it once more helps you translate it much better. Then, you should highlight the new words that you have dealt with. Here in the next stage, you are expected to have a supreme dictionary in order to look up the meaning of the highlighted vocabularies. The fifth step is to interpret your text; I mean to translate it orally. Next, the main job begins, written translation. Sentence by sentence, you should get through the text, discover its meaning, analyze it, look for the best choice of words, take the idiomatic expressions into consideration and avoid translating them literally,  and try to render it into your target language. After this stage, you should read your translation loudly over again in order to know if read normal and sound native. Keep in mind; do not ignore fidelity in translation. Your translation must be exactly the translation of the text. You are not allowed to leave out or add any information. You have done a brilliant job if you go through this process thoroughly.

An Iranian boy with his American girlfriend

 with a bunch of thanks for olinda

The writer of the following joke is a Persian native speaker, skilled at English language.

 An Iranian handsome boy immigrated to US speaking almost no English but thanks to (because of) his good look soon found a nice blond, beautiful girlfriend.

Once after dinner, she asked for the recipe of the AASH cooked by his mother. His translation of the ingredients from Persian to English follows:

My dear, my mother put in this Iranian soup:

Yellow wood (zard choobe)

Indian stamp (tamre hendi)

Wet blood (tar khoon)

Flower of a cow's tongue (gole gav zaboon)

.

Sometime later, when their relationship was going down the drain, He said to her: ''look, I very very love you

Or come and run with me to marry or please light my homework.

(Ya bia ba ham farar konim ya taklife mano roshan kon)

In a hospital, two patients were lying on the beds in the same room. One of them had the permission to sit on his bed for an hour each day, but another one had to have no movement and just back into his roommate. They talked to each other for a couple of hours every afternoon, the one close to the window described whatever he could see out of the window to his roommate. Out of the window, there were a park, and a beautiful lake, pretty ducks, and swans were swimming in the lake and the children were entertained by their recreational boats. Old trees interestingly beautified the view outside and a great picture of the city could be seen in the distance. As the man close to the window was describing the details of  that magnificent sight, his roommate shut his eyes, lightening his mood by conceptualizing these scenes in mind.

Several days and weeks passed until the man lying close to the window passed away and hospital employees took his corpse out. Another man who was very upset asked to move his bed close to the window. The nurse did it. The man painfully dragged himself up to the window. However, surprisingly, he faced a tall wall.

The shocked man said to the nurse that his roommate always described lovely views behind the window. The nurse replied, but............. that man was blind!!!!!!

THE EYES THAT GOT OPENED BUT   ………

Several years ago, a blind girl was living, detested by herself due to her blindness. He hated every one except for her fiancé.

One day, the girl said to the boy:

((If she is able to see the world one day, that day, would be their marriage day.

After a while, quite by chance, her doors were opened, as one was ready to dedicate one pair of eyes to the girl, and then she could see whatever around including her fiancé.

The boy happily asked the girl:

Has the time of our marriage arrived?

When the girl found the boy blind, got shocked, so replied:

I am sorry; I cannot marry you, caz you are blind.

The boy, while crying bitterly, kept his head down and left the bed and then turned to the girl and said:

""All right, but I only ask you please; take care of my eyes.""
