Protecting animals

آن روز که مرکب فلک زین کردند

آرایش مشتری و پروین کردند

این بود نصیب ما زدیوان قضا

ما را چه گنه قسمت ما این کردند

 I tell You this -- When, starting from the Goal,
        Over the shoulders of the flaming Foal
        Of Heav'n Parwin and Mushtari they flung,
        In my predestin'd Plot of Dust and Soul.


قسمت = fate

Haiku

Le jour de l'an
“Bonne année ! Bonne santé !”
Depuis l'aube, on entend que cela dans la forêt des Merveilles. Tous les animaux se souhaitent le meilleur pour l'année nouvelle. Ils échangent aussi des poignées de pâtes, des gros bisous et des petits cadeaux.
“Ah ! pensent-ils, si tous les hommes agissaient comme nous au lieu de se faire la guerre, la Terre serait un véritable paradis.”

In this episode, we’ll quickly revisit your three goals in every job interview, since these goals will influence every answer and every interaction you have during the interview. You’ll then learn why employers ask, “Why should we hire you?”, hear how one of my clients who got a job offer answered the question, and get tips on how to answer it.
