18 TIR ( 8 July) Gerami Bad

At that night the barbaric government-related armed forces entered Tehran university dormitory and ...
One minute silence!

Be Salamti!

A funny thing is that Iranians (according to a study conducted by university of Pennsylvania) were the first who prepared and drank wine with their food. During an excavation by Mary M. Voigt at the site of Hajji Firuz Tepe in the northern Zagros Mountains of Iran, a jar, with a volume of about 9 liters (2.5 gallons) was found together with five similar jars embedded in the earthen floor along one wall of a "kitchen" of a Neolithic mudbrick building, dated to ca. 5400-5000 B.C. (see also)

Drinking wine is not that much popular in Iran anymore for two reasons: It is not sufficiently availabe. People are getting addicted to drinks with higher Alcoholic percentages!!!!

Firstly, making, selling and drinking wine is prohibited by the RELIGIOUS Government. Therefore there is not that much wine available. People don't have enough time to make it or They want to prevent any potential conflict with the government. Also, the negligible supply of wine, makes it a luxurious and expensive beverage that most of the people can not offord!

Secondly, due to the slight supply and high prices and also bad economical situations, people use "more" available, "worse" quality and "stronger" beverages! And therefore they don't enjoy drinking wine with only 5-12% Alcohol anymore! They are addicted! They hurt themselves and they don't know what they are doing!!!

CONCLUSION: If Iranian were used to drink, nothing even the RELIGION can not keep them from doing so. The point is that this kind of prohibitions, not only do not ameliorate the situation but it worsen it! At that time people used to drink a little bit of wine with their dinner, nowaday people have to swallow two gallons of 40% alcohol into their bodies to be satisfied!!!

Arabian neighbors of Iran claim some of our most important islands.(ghabele tavajohe undaste az iruniha ke shoare globalization va dusti ba arabha ro midan!)

we have an expression in farsi stating that" each person should talk proportionate to its mouth!!!

Baba jun, akhe just have a look on these statistics:

Qatar
total area: 11,437 sq km (water: 0 sq km,land: 11,437 sq km )
population 817,052 (July 2003 est.) and independence day 3 September 1971 (from UK)

united Arab emirates
total area: 82,880 sq km (land: 82,880 sq km, water: 0 sq km )
population 2,484,818 (includes an estimated 1,606,079 non-nationals) and independence day 2 December 1971 (from UK)

Just compare it to our Iran:
total area: 1.648 million sq km ( land: 1.636 million sq km ,water: 12,000 sq km )
population: 68,278,826 (July 2003 est.)

HOW CAN THEY CLAIM IRAN'S TERRITORIES!!! HOW CAN THEY FIND THEMSELVES IN THIS POSITION AT ALL!!!! THEY USE THE BAD IRANIAN FOREIGN RELATIONSHIP AND WANT TO MAKE THE BEST OUT OF IT!!! DO YOU THINK WE CAN EVER LEARN TO LIKE ARABS????

You work, you get experienced, you become a manager, you retire! You work, you get...

In Iran, the educational system lacks efficiency! Each time a new engineer starts working, without any managerial knowledge. S/he learns these issues by experiencing them. S/he does not know what has been done and what should be done. S/he goes exactly the same way as the previous engineering generation has gone through, the ones that could have or better to say, should have written their gained experiences and knowledge for the next generation. Learning these experiences again and again cost our nation money and time and is a threat to our development.

I am reading a book called "Process management" written by Hans de bruijn. In this book, which is taught in the universities here, you see that detailed information is given to students about issues that may seem insignificant to us. They teach them to open their eyes. To see the evil part of the organizations. They teach them how to have strategists behavior, how to get information through relation channels, how to be evil!!! So a student that is graduating from the university, without having any working experience can be a good manager!.S/he knows how different parties will react in the process of decision making and how S/he has to react to gain as much as possible!

This is what the Iranian engineers, managers and decision makers know when they are 50 years old! PAY ATTENTION TO THE DIFFERENVE BETWEEN 50 AND 25 YEARS!!!

After 3 days non-stop working, finally we finished the discrete system modeling project and I feel sooo released! During this project I learned that all the students are the same all around the world!
"cooking the results" when you can not reach the correct ones at the deadline, IS ALWAYS AN OPEN OPTION. It doesn't matter if you are Iranian or not:)

Besides disadvantages, developing countries have also some information and consequently cost advantages compared with developed countries!
Today I read some materials about the liberalization of Telecom industry in the mid-1980's. Around that time Japan, UK and US decided to liberalize their telecom industries each because of completely different reasons. Changing the telecom monopoly to a competitive market created lots of ups and downs for the industry all over the world. Finally this liberalization crashed; simply because the industry had no more cash and suffered from overcapacity building and unsustainable debt. A clear lesson learned from the crash is that after liberalizing industries like telecom that are capital-intensive, the government should still keep its regulatory, supportive and interventionist role to a certain limit in order to ensure proper behavior of the market.
I think Iranian decision makers and policy analysts can use these experiences in their development strategies and prevent the same mistakes in Iran in the future.

The weather is soooo nice today! good for going out and having an icecream! But I have to stay at home and study Economics!!! That's really a biiigggg pittttyyyyyy!
Exactly the times that I have to study and have lots of things to do, I feel like walking, doing sport, cooking, eating, sleeping!, dancing,... Anything else then studying!May be that's also something "perzish"!
