Beginning at 33

Friday, October 14, 2011

I completed 32 years of existence on this planet last night. 32 Earth years! I've seen changes happen during this period of time. Wars, miracles, achievements and also human depravity.

What holds for me in the future?

This will be my daily chronicle of events as I see it, through my human eyes, as I step into year 33 of my life.

Music for the Soul?

Sunday, March 7, 2010

Much attention has been paid to music from ancient times. Ancient people enjoyed the sound of flowing streams, chirping of birds, and waterfall music. Without any doubt, music is needed for the soul; however, some people deny it. Several years ago people started to provide simple instruments that made harmonic sounds. Today there are complicated musical instruments which create beautiful sounds. Thus, there are two major classifications of music which are named traditional, and modern ones.

As many psychologists claim, music is the food for soul. So many times listening to a piece of light music after a busy day of working releases the tensions and gives energy to people. Music deals with our emotions and passion. Research studies show that using an appropriate music in postoperative wards decreases the pain in the patients after surgery. On the other hand, it is proved that it creates more ability of solving difficult mathematics problems among the people, and more perception of notes of music. All of these findings demonstrate that people really need music.

Taking traditional music into account, it is one of the most important inheritances of the past. Traditional music is indicator of nations’ history. People usually feel a nostalgic sense with their own music. In other words, it roots from their ancestors’ lives, so it is valuable and dear.

Regarding modern music which is heard everywhere nowadays, it can communicate in particular with juveniles. They love heavy and instrumental music. By spending time listening to these kinds of exciting music, they release their energy that always find a way to exhaust in young. It is joyful and full of life .In fact it is an essential entertainment for people who are music fans. A positive point of modern music is its cosmopolitan effect. It belongs to all of the people worldwide, and it is a common language of nations.

No wonder, music is one of he most important aspects of life. To my mind, both traditional and modern music have equal importance. In different situations we need different harmonic sounds. Music gives us sense of humanity and understanding other people.

Elderly people of over 50 years of age should be retired

Saturday, January 23, 2010

One of the most challenging problems of today’s societies is elderly and age of retirement. Conceded that young people need to have an appropriate job position, working of elderly people of over 50 years of age has some benefits. Beneficiaries are both the elderly people and the society where these people live. Some of these advantages are using their experiences and decreasing the retirement remunerations.

Not surprisingly, elderly people who have worked for several years have so many experiences that can be transferred to young employees. In some developed countries, companies invite retired specialists to work with others in order that managers use their viewpoints and advice; to put it more simply, they exploit from about 30 years of knowledge and thoughtfulness.

Moreover, retirement of 50-year-old employees means that the government and insurance companies are compelled to pay much more money, in a long period of time and for people who are unemployed and not really old. Biological studies show convincingly that the age of 50 is not the age of retirement, and these people, as productive resources of companies can still work and do their best.

However, many people argue that retirement of elderly people will result in more employment of young ones; I find it hard to agree because first we should know when people are named as old people. As W.H.O reports, the beginning age of the elderly period is 65. Thus, retirement of people, 15 years before they actually become old seems not cost-effective.

In summary, old people are real investments for the countries. Working with them and beside them is a big chance for others. As far as I am concerned, people should be retired at the age of 65 when they have worked for about 30 years.

Specialists are OverRated!

Monday, October 19, 2009

In this era more specialists are needed and because of this they are overrated. It dose not mean that generalists are not important or society does not need them; on the contrary, society needs generalists in the beginning of every field, and then specialist are needed in the high levels. The need to more specialists is obvious in many areas such as science, education, and medicine.

Society needs more specialists in medicine because they can cure progressive diseases; for instance, when people suffer from cold they will see a general practitioner, but when they feel pain in heart, lung or muscles they refer to a specialist, so generalists can cure a limited area of diseases which are in first stages. On the other hand, general practitioners can learn and memorize a limited subjects; that is, they know a little about skin, skeletal, lung, and heart diseases. Moreover, when people get sick, they prefer to go to a specialist rather than to go to a generalist.

Likewise, in education, society needs more specialists. When students want to start learning alphabet or calculus, generalists can teach them because they are not complicated subjects but as students go to higher grades and want to learn algebra, geometry or literature, their need to specialists is sensible.

Similarly, in science, for instance in computer sciences, a generalist can operate only simple tasks while a specialist can design for example web pages and actually do the simple tasks, too. Computer science has many fields and so many specialists are needed.

In conclusion, nowadays that the speed of progress of science is unbelievable and people have to walk with its pace, societies need more and more specialists and if they are overrated, it is appropriate.

Attending a live performance (for example, a play, concert, or sporting event) is more enjoyable than watching the same event on television.

Friday, October 2, 2009

Deciding on attending a live performance or watching the same event on television is such a controversial issue. While there are many a great people that support the idea of taking part in these events as the audience, some people believe in monitoring these performances just on television. Actually, each group present their belief based on respective logical reasons. As my idea resulted from several accounts, it is more beneficial to join the second group.

In fact, this point of view analytically comes from some advantages that prove its betterment. Owing to some problems that are inevitably produced by the flood (torrent) of crowds rushing toward the center of the event, it can be wise decision to stay at home and avoid being stuck in traffic congestions and being nervous. So, we can manage our time more efficiently to enjoy watching our intended program on television. Moreover, we can have the opportunity of watching the events in the television room beside our family members or friends who might be old or have some problem to accompany us to the performance, and then the argument about the most recent and exciting event is the more interesting part. Furthermore, individuals feel more comfortable whenever they watch these kinds of events that need more attention to be followed in such a private place. They are able to concentrate more deeply and sense what is going on in detail.

No wonder, there are two distinctive ideas about whether to attend a live performance or watch it on television, and each of them has its own pros and cons. In summary, because there are more advantages coming from sundry supportive reasons, it is more recommended to save our time and enjoy monitoring these performances on television.

Progress is always good?

Tuesday, September 22, 2009

“Life is like water that flows in a river”. This sentence is a part of a poem by one of Iranian poets. Some people believe that life needs improvement beause if we are stagnant and do not have any progress after a period of time, all of us get bored and boredom is beginning of many difficulties in life. On the other hand, some people believe that all progress has done  and it is time that we enjoy life and have a placid(?) life.

Many people have a very routine life. Their activities are limited to earn a little money for a living and they are happy with their life. Without improvement in financial aspect of life, they are well satisfied with the present things that they have and they never get any more things than pervious.

In spite of the first group of people, some others think that they need improvement and motion in many different aspects of life such as educational, financial and private aspects of life. Regarding educational aspects of life they improve from the beginning of educational period to the end of it. They try to be the best in their societies and compete with each other, so they believe that competition is the spirit of progress. Also, in financial aspects, they progress to provide a better life for themselves and their families, so they think that if each day they do not try harder than previous, they cannot improve their life.

In summary, as a means of self-statement, progress is always good. Without it we never earn new things, new information, or new technologies. In the end, I believe that our life must be like water that flows in the river, full of power, motion and progress.
