Hard Life

Do you know when  life does become harder? It is when someone in his/her comfort zone tells you that life is really hard. I experienced it today and everyone would hear it once in life. Today I am passing through a rocky road of insecurity and heading towards the training camp in our city. The fact that life is more interesting than what general belief tells you lies in your own thoughts. Life became harder for me today when my office director said "please sit with the security guards in the un-armored vehicle so we would have more space in the vehicle protected by armor". I was not annoyed by the fact that there was an insecure situation on the road; rather I was struck by surprise that humans can be really indifferent towards the value of other human lives! So life can be hard due to the presence of such ideas caused by such people. You may ignore these ideas or accept them at your own peril. Hard life is different from a boring life due to the fact that having a difficult life is a temporary disturbance and a positive signal for getting the most important lesson out of life. As Timothy "Tim" Ferris in his most exciting book The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich points out the most interesting fact "excitement = happiness and sadness = boredom" so if  you want an exciting life think bigger and aim for bigger goals which are impossible to achieve according to 99% people of the world. My experience has taught me that much of the happiness comes after the end of a difficult situation and after a person has learned the value of comfort and blessings of the world due to those miserable and hard moments of life. Today I learned that no matter how much life becomes harder I would count those moments of uneasiness as pearls that would bring much joy in the future. So everytime if going gets harder (I know it usually does) accept it willingly and you would come to know that it is those rocky moments which make you happier and more successful in future life.

The difference between Books and Movies!

Books are lengthy but movies are short, is it really the vital difference?? Some say movies are more interesting than books, because you spend just under two hours to get the whole idea and move on to the next story (another movie), but with books you need to make a plan and spend hours sitting to finally understand the whole story. Let's count the pros and cons of each one: 1- Books take time but movies don't. 2- Movies are visual and more interesting but books are not visual and gets boring sometimes. 3- Books dig deep and teach life lessons, well, movies run on surface and its ideas are not well received for long term. 4-Books are more inspirational than movies, because you spend too much time with it. Considering the number of movies and books that you have watched or studied in your life, I am sure every one remembers books better than a lot of movies ( I mean the content not just the name). So, when was the last time you saw a great movie? I guess a very long t...

I love to see you smile !

We all are humans and we love humans to smile. How do you live in peace if you take away the happiness of another fellow on earth? How do you love your children if you do not pay attention to all other children living in crisis? How do you eat peacefully if you know there are millions waiting for a loaf of bread that would never come.  We can not change the world instantly as we know it but at least each one of us could become a role model for our children. At least we would not be accountable for our conscience. Our beloved prophet MUHAMMAD (peace be upon him) said 14 centuries ago: "Love also for others what you love for yourself".  We are living in a completely different world where the quest for shelter is replaced with a luxury house, food with a beautiful car, a honest friend with a sexy girlfriend and more. However, considering all the above requirements of the new world order there are still many people who would become the happiest people on the planet if fo...

A scene from my upcoming Novel !!

I was recently hired.  I belonged to the village of Karghan. There was a single family member that was left to me in my whole life, Azim, my 2 year old son. Some memories last for years and some for lifetime, the bitter ones last longer and the disastrous ones are eternal. One night I was leaving my home to go over to my friends. I still remember the innocent, sweet-natured look of my wife, Sahar, standing in the door and with those benevolent eyes set on me the whole time, she said, “Dear! Please  take Azim with you for a few hours so I could freely tidy your rooms.” I said reluctantly, “All right, bring him over.” I allowed, frequently and willingly that between us she had to be dominating most of the time and certainly of all the positive traits any husband could have to secure lifetime love from his wife was the same trait I had and I knew she loved my for that. I took Azim and briskly walked towards the door and she called from behind, “Dear! Wont’ you say ba’bye?” I was...
