Drew Barrymore s view on self-esteem

I think what became more important to me was not how other people saw me but how I saw myself. I do run a company. I am consistent at work. My bosses think that I will show up on time, and I'm reliable to them

I can respect myself. That ended up becoming the important journey for me. And, of course, I'll always be a bit of a ridiculous clown, 'cause I just can't help it

That Unfinished Oscar Speech

مارلون براندو اسطوره سینما برنده اسکار میشه. ازش میخوان برای گرفتن معتبرترین جایزه سینمایی جهان به مراسم بیاد.اوغیر منتظرانه سر بازمیزنه.نماینده ای هم می فرسته که علت عدم حضورش رو قراءت کنه:

For 200 years we have said to the Indian people who are fighting for their land, their life, their families and their right to be free: ''Lay down your arms, my friends, and then we will remain together. Only if you lay down your arms, my friends, can we then talk of peace and come to an agreement which will be good for you.''

این چیزیه که همه دنیا بهش میگن "نامردی":

When they laid down their arms, we murdered them. We lied to them. We cheated them out of their lands. We starved them into signing fraudulent agreements that we called treaties which we never kept. We turned them into beggars on a continent that gave life for as long as life can remember. And by any interpretation of history, however twisted, we did not do right

ولی قضاوت به تاریخ سپرده خواهد شد:

But there is one thing which is beyond the reach of this perversity and that is the tremendous verdict of history. And history will surely judge us. But do we care? What kind of moral schizophrenia is it that allows us to shout at the top of our national voice for all the world to hear that we live up to our commitment when every page of history and when all the thirsty, starving, humiliating days and nights of the last 100 years in the lives of the American Indian contradict that voice

اما این حرفها به اسکاری ها چه!!؟؟؟

 

Perhaps at this moment you are saying to yourself what the hell has all this got to do with the Academy Awards? Why is this woman standing up here, ruining our evening, invading our lives with things that don't concern us, and that we don't care about? Wasting our time and money and intruding in our homes

اینم یه جواب فنی!!:

I think the answer to those unspoken questions is that the motion picture community has been as responsible as any for degrading the Indian and making a mockery of his character, describing his as savage, hostile and evil. It's hard enough for children to grow up in this world. When Indian children watch television, and they watch films, and when they see their race  depicted as they are in films, their minds become injured in ways we can never know

و علت عدم حضور:

 

Recently there have been a few faltering steps to correct this situation, but too faltering and too few, so I, as a member in this profession, do not feel that I can as a citizen of the United States accept an award here tonight. I think awards in this country at this time are inappropriate to be received or given until the condition of the American Indian is drastically altered. If we are not our brother's keeper, at least let us not be his executioner

سفر شون پن بعنوان خبرنگار افتخاری CNN به تهران (قسمت اول)

یادتون هست "شون پن" انتخابات ریاست جمهوری 84 به ایران سفر کرد؟این مختصری از سفرنامه ش:

What i found was a culture in conflict

(دروغ گفت؟ ..نه)
هواپیماش که می رسه تو آسمون ایران یه پیام مهم میده:
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a very important announcement to make. For all our female passengers, by decree of the government of Iran, all female visitors are required to keep their heads covered. In your own interest, therefore, we ask you to put on a scarf before leaving the aircraft in Tehran. Thank you

اینجاش خیلی باحاله:

All of these modern women, who would've looked quite at home dancing in a Paris nightclub, were now covered head to toe in black chadors, makeup scrubbed from their faces, cleavages and midriffs a memory

سیگار : پاکت هایی که درباره مضررات اون چیزی نمیگه:
I noticed that many Iranians were freely smoking cigarettes in line, certainly no signs prohibiting it

اما گشتن دوست دختر و دوست پسر در تهران "قانون" داره!:
Girlfriends and boyfriends are not permitted to hold hands. However, there are many smiles

و اما نماز جمعه و تدابیر شدید امنیتی:

Security was very tight around the stadium of Tehran University where the faithful assemble for Namaze Jumeh or Friday Prayers. We surrendered all metallic objects after going through a series of metal detectors. I was subjected to an upper body search, triggered by a cash pouch around my waist. (The interest on credit cards is against Islamic doctrine and therefore, one carries and pays in cash.) Then we were escorted to the press balcony

حالا خطبه ها شروع میشه و آقای جنتی از خطرات خویشاوند گرایی در دولت میگه:
The hard-line cleric Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati arrived to deliver his sermon. He leads the six-man Guardian Council, the controversial and largely considered fundamentalist body that governs state decisions over and above those made by the president or parliament (Majlis). In an apparently direct targeting of centrist candidate Rafsanjani, he preached against the dangers of nepotism in government. Rafsanjani was known to employ many of his relatives in his cabinets, and represented a power and following that directly threatened that of the Guardian Council

بعدش هم مشت محکم همیشگی که شون پن رو سخت به تعجب وامیداره:
Death to America      Death to Israel

من فرشید لازم به ذکر میدونم این توضیحات رو راجع به شون پن بدم:
Sean Penn is an Oscar-winning actor and director who lives with his family in the Bay Area. He previously reported on his trip to Iraq for The Chronicle

جوليا رابرتز در مورد اينکه چرا تو فيلم هاش علاقه اي به "نوديسم" نشون نميده حرف جالبي ميزنه:
I wouldn't do nudity in films. To act with my clothes on is a performance
to act with my clothes off is a documentary

داشتم انجيل مي خوندم چيز هاي جالبي ديدم. اين قسمت رو گلچين کردم با حاله:

And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and  Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and i hid myself .

يکي ميگه: برات آرزوي خوشبختي نميکنم چونکه خوشبختي وجود نداره.آرزو ميکنم که با بدبختيات کنار بياي! يکي ‌‌دیگه میگه:

The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.

حالا "تو" اين وسط حرف حسابت چيه؟

I skip over the introduction and go to the crux of the matter.I get very lonesome when there is no one to talk to. That s why i turned to blogging to share myselfe to your world.i am used to collecting proverbs, quotes, jokes, aphorisms,lyrics, poems and whatever relates to my english world.but from the point of view that i don t wanna deprive many dear persian-readers of understanding what i am saying, i either write in persian.If you have a hand in english mail me to live me up: [e-mail]
