The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Never complain and never explain.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
I can, therefore I am.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Poetry, especially traditional Iranian poetry, is very good at looking at things from a number of different angles simultaneously.
It's very difficult to talk about religion in Iran because religion has gotten so mixed up with politics.
