Hello! November 14th was my birthday. My dad, my husband, and my son surprised me with a very beautiful cake. They wrote Happy Birthday on it for me. They brought lots of sweets. It was a sweet day literally. I will tell you frankly, this year I turned 35. I don’t like hiding my age and staying 22 all my life. And because I consider 35 a special turning point, or it’s actually the middle point of life, so I sat by myself thinking of what I’ve learned before and what I want to do in the future. First of all, I must thank God for all the people he has put in my path all my life because they are all real gifts. And I pray to God to empower me to make them all happy and to stay in touch with those who are away. Second, persistence. I’m sure that one can perform miracles if they persist in doing something, even in small amounts, on a daily basis. For me, this fixes lots of problems, such as not finding quality time or the right circumstances to do something I love. But if I specify a small period of time every day, I’ll accomplish a lot. As our prophet says, “The deeds dearest to God are those done regularly, even if a little.” Third, nothing comes late. It comes when one is prepared. And that increased my enthusiasm to start [doing] what I love, not to be lazy or to say “I’m late.” On the contrary, I can learn anything, excel in it, benefit from it and also benefit people, even if I ‘m 70. Didn’t colonel Sanders establish KFC when he was 65? So, I can too. And so can you. Happy year to you!
