A friend's gift

چون می خواهی که باشی

خاصه ساده

ساده و بی پیرایه

پس بنا را بگذار روی لبخند ، خوبی ، قشنگی

از دلت دور کن هر آن چه را که نمی خواهی و می بینی

و باور کن !

باور کن هر آن چه را که می خواهی

بایستی در رویاهای دور از دسترس ببینی اش

جان تو !!

"why you have to learn English"

The other day, I received an email with this picture attached quoting "why you have to learn English."
"Cause you don't walk into a mosque with such a T-shirt."
When I was a teenager in Iran about two decades ago, we were banned to wear clothes with signs or slogans. It seems to me now that the leaders knew we were too illiterate to know what we had put on.
The same thing is happening now but in an opposite manner not for signs or slogans but for color.
