Wisdom On The Road

I am a citizen of this planet, who believes there is a purpose and mission to our existence. I pursue that mission and try to enjoy every lesson, every day, and every last drop of the pain and joy we drink when we live. I live a mostly regret-free life, with each failure quickly becoming a valuable experience and something to laugh about, and every success something about which to be thankful and celebrative. I do all of this in and around my beloved Berkeley, California.

It reminded me of the wisdom on Starbucks Coffee Cups!
Haha! That's right, Tameshk! How are you? Are you free of your exams and work? I have certainly missed you my friend. Thanks for coming to visit. Come again.

Thanks Serendip. Akhay, how adorable and funny! A very cute pooch! See, now, you could never get a cat to do something like that!
NAZY JOON, what were you mentioning, kessad? I didn't quite understand correctly. It doesn't seem that way to me at all!
but it was better they have more control on road to decrease horrible rate of death in roads
instead of post this kind of signs

Bayram Jan:
You are so right, and that's why I referred to "ironies" in the picture. Having a sign giving advice to people in the middle of the winding Shomal roads is hardly encouraging the drivers to concentrate! My point was more about the essence of the idea. This phrase, or similar phrases, poetry, and short stories, are such an important part of Iranian identity. In fact, you might hear such a phrase quite easily in a classroom, a conference room, a taxi cab, or a family gathering and from old people, young people, and peers, because this wisdom is a part of the daily dialogue and routine of our people, like code words everyone understands, so when it shows up in the middle of the road, too, nobody thinks there is anything out of place. That was my point. Hala F i l t e r hasti ya na?
