We can't direct the wind but we can adjust the sail!

خيام اگر زباده مستي خوش باش

با ماهرخي اگر نشستي خوش باش

چون عاقبت كار جهان نيستي است

انگار كه نيستي چو هستي خوش باش

Khayam, if you are intoxicated with wine, enjoy!

If you are seated with a lover of thine, enjoy!

In the end, the Void the whole world employ,

Imagine thou art not, while waiting in line, enjoy!

Best things in life do not cost much.

While enjoying a cold beer tonight, a friend from work asked me what I missed most about Iran. Many faces and places flashed in front of my eyes in a couple of seconds and I replied, my friends. If he had asked that question when I was fully alert and not tipsy, I might have gone for my mom, my family or my exgirlfriend. But truth is, I miss my friends more than anything. And that's what I like most about alcohol, it brings out honesty and natural aspect of you.
