What is success?!!
A great news maybe for my friends! I have got permission to select my major in all fields and subfields of English, in M.A, teaching, translation and linguistics, when they announced the results, mine are 341, 575, 406! I have not thought that my results maybe this way! I think now I can enter a nice university, especially in my favorite field, you know, linguistics. I am studying for teaching, too, and I will try to get both majors licenses at the same time! What do you think? Can I do that?!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know there is something that preoccupies my mind for a long time and I am sure that it is an issue hat does such for a considerable many people, too! What is success?!! You see, when can we say that somebody is successful and then is happy!?? Do we have to wait until reaching that point?! Do we have to always look for that? I sent an sms to share my happiness with my Lisa, but she did not reply until the next morning, that wrote: “ it was a really great news, and I hope you will get your success and happiness!” do you know what I wrote in reply? I wrote” thank you my dearest, it is just your prayers and kind heart that made me feel better and about the time I have got much familiar with you a lot of good and nice happenings have occurred to me frequently, it is your kindness and great soul… and I owe you for ever… I am successful now! In every aspect… just… “ (I did not write that just the distance of you makes me sad and unhappy, and that the feeling of missing you lets me feel worried and depressed, but I am controlling those negative feelings just due to the hope of reaching my love, my Lisa, and the happiness gets completed! Once Lisa told “ I don`t know… when we reach to our goals, which we have had though that they are our success, we do not feel happy and do not satisfy ourselves!” really?!!!!!! I am agreeing with her … really why?!!!!!!!! Can you answer the question?!

We have had some inspectors in the bank since Sunday, and they are inspecting all the documents in the files and shelves in ways that mostly disturbs every body and makes them angry! The boss, or the chief inspector reminds me Golbabaie, he is a man like him, a determined one, full of energy and a special behavior, strict and so hard-working, as if our manager and his vice manager afraid of him whenever he is present!
I was taking some flowers to the bank for my workmates to please themselves, and when I saw them, I tolled myself “hey, Yaser! Be careful… he maybe does not like it and when he notices that he may criticize you!” so I did it watchfully, but Mr. Ali Mohammadi, our vice manager, put the flower pot with its beautiful, colorful flowers on the table that the chief inspector was working… he liked it! He put the vase before himself from the morning till the noon, smelling them and thanking me! At the end, he called me and when I went beside him, I appreciated me to bringing those pretty flowers, I explained that I, myself, culturing them and that I have had a garden full of those nice plants! Then I explained him that after the withdrawal of these flowers, I make them dry and give them to my friends and colleagues! He asked how, and I showed him the place in the upstairs to dry the flowers! He loved it, and when I saw in this way, I suggested if he liked I can give him those dried flowers to take to his wife! He loved it, too and then I taught him how to dry the flowers that they do not lose their color, odor and characteristics and last for a long time! And today I took a box to put those dried flowers to give him and he has got my friend! But Mr. Khame, my colleague who teaches me, says that “inspectors are like cats, they are unfaithful and do not care about any thing!” I do not believe that! I like him and his behaviors! It is his job!
In my new class, you see that class the my hatred aunt and my nice cousin are there, too, there is a girl, who does not like the English any more and she comes to the class just because of obligation of her daddy and her friends! She says that “my previous teachers have caused me to lose my sense towards the English and I hate it!” I am trying hard to change her idea and again help her to continue the learning of English and gain her lost motivations and encouragements! You know, the most important role of a teacher, especially, and English teacher, is to provide his students with the best material and help them encourage to keep on the complex and difficult pathway of learning, even after years and years! I never forget this responsibility…
