What are young Iranians concerned about?
Usualy we get the impression from some American news reports on Iran that the biggest issue for the youth is that religious leaders exercise too much control.
However, in a video now running on “Current TV,” titled “Iranian Vote,” producers Yasmin Vossoughian and Kouross Esmaeli present interviews with young Iranians with a different concern: the gap between rich and poor.
One young man asks why some Iranians have $200 sneakers while other have nothing. Some of the Iranians interviewed want the new president, who apparently drives an old car, to do something about the gap between rich and poor.
Watch the video Iranian Vote.

Imagine! Tasavor kon, By: Siavash Ghomeishi
Imagine! Even if it is hard to imagine
a world where each person is truly fortunate!
Imagine a world where money, race, and power have no place!
a world where riot police is not the answer to the calls for unity!
a world with no nuclear bombs, no artillery, and no bombardments!
a world where no child will leave his legs on land mines!
Everybody free, totally free!no one in pain, no pain!
You wouldn't read in newspapers that
such and such person committed suicide!
Imagine a world with no hatred, no gunpowder
no cruelty of arrogant, no fear, no coffin!
Imagine a world filled with smile and freedom!
full of flowers and kisses! Filled with up-growing improvements
Imagine! Even if it is a crime to imagine so!
even if you'd lay down your life on this!
Imagine a world where prison does not exist in reality,
where all wars of the world are included in 'The Ceasefire Treaty'!!
a world where nobody is 'The Boss' of the world!
people are all equal!
Then each person will have an equal share in
each single seed of wheat!
No border, no boundaries motherland would mean the entire world!
imagine you could be the interpretation of this dream!

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough,Remember the Mayonnaise Jar and the Coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty Mayonnaise Jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full?? They all agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. Then he asked the students again if the jar was full? They agreed it was.The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.. Ofcourse the sand filled up everything else. he asked once more if the jar was full? The students responded with a unanimous *YES*.The professor then produced two cups of cofee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students Laughed. *NOW* said the professor I want you to recognize that this represents your LIFE. The golf balls are the important things, Your God, Your Family, Your Children, Your Health, Your friends, and Your favorite Passions. Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be Full.The Pebbles are the other things that matter like Your Job, Your House, Your Car. The Sand is everything else...the small stuff. If you put the sand first into the jar, there would be no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for LIFE. If you spend all your time and energy on small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.Play with your children. Take time to get medical check-ups. Take your partner out to Dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just SAND.
One of the students raised her hand and inquired. What did the coffee represent? The professor smiled. I am Glad you asked, It just goes to show you, that no matter how full your life may seem, there is always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a FRIEND.

A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with his hair fashionably coifed and shaved perfectly, even though he is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today. His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready.
As he maneuvered his walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of his tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on his window.
"I love it," he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.
"Mr. Jones, you haven't seen the room; just wait."
"That doesn't have anything to do with it," he replied.
"Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged ... it's how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it. "It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.
Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open, I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away. Just for this time in my life.
Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw from what you've put in.
So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories! Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank.
I am still depositing." Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
