It's amazing how small incidents in your life, can determine, how you would act again if you are in the same situtation, or even how you will behave in general. Basically, in my opinion, experiences, can make you a totally different person, than you used to be. I, myself, have noticed, how my driving experiences, have made me grow up. Initially, when I started driving, I was very cautious and would over analyze everything. After a while, that I became more comfortable with my car and the concept of speed, then I became very impatient, and could predict most of the moves by the cars around me. It made me over confident, and think that I know better. After, the fuel incident, I realized, that you can not predict everything. Once again, driving is like, life. In life, if you are knowlegable, meaning that you are aware of things happening around you, you can predict with a good approximation. However, there are events, that are not predictable and you have to set a variable or a in the margin of error on your decision. Now I guess the question is, how would you decrease the risk of failure in any form, different people define failure differently based on their ideals and priorities?Are risk and playing safe,an inverse function of each other?

World Cup Soccer

The cruise was great! I thought it won't be as pleasant since, it's during the week day, but on the contrary, it was very relaxing and fun!We requested a salsa song and danced to it after a while being away from salsa music. I definitely have to start dancing every day again. I played Rolet for the first time with fake money on that boat! Kept winning!
Saturday was the shopping and relaxing day! I can't believe after having all the ideals of making things affordable for everyone and how the global economy is going toward that direction, there are still stores that "only serves the very wealthy people!!!!". I finished watching 3 movies!!I watched the rest of the Pink Panther up to the production of the new 2006 movie and watched Office Space. Office space was okay, had some interesting points in the movie, but I give it a 2.5 out of 5 points.
World cup soccer started on Friday, June 9th,2006. Sunday was Iran Vs. Mexico game! My mom was so excited that she had bought Iran's flag and installed it on the window of her car. Actually since North York has a lot of Iranians, as you walk or drive on Yonge st. Between Sheppard and Steels specially, you see lots of cars with Iran's flag.
Ofcourse we have 3 types of flags too!!!The flag issue is complicated by it self. I remember around 6-7 years ago there was an article in one of Iranian newspapers at U of T, about the origin of Persian flag.
Anyways, Iran lost to Mexico, and hence all the partying that we were planning to do on Yonge st. Went down the drain! Howeverended up to be good for me, since I rested a bit and then started looking at some apartments on MLS!! Played, Rami and then went to Marche with my friend and had the best Trimasiou ever!!
The weekend to come is very exciting! First on friday is one of my closest friend's graduation and on saturday, is Marjia's weddin!! So partying from morning till dawn!
