با آنکه شراب پرده ما بدرید، تا جان دارم نخواهم از باده برید
من در عجبم زِ مِی فروشان کایشان، بِه زانچه فروشند چه خواهند خرید

And much as Wine has play'd the Infidel,
And robb'd me of my Robe of Honour -- well,
I [often wonder]1 what the Vintners buy
One half so precious as the [Goods]2 they sell.

Persian Poetry

Khayyam - با آنکه شراب پرده ما بدرید

"A person who’s really inspired me to do something is actually my uncle Dave, who started his own tech company about 5 years ago.He’s now turned it into a highly successful company, employing over 50 people today, which I think is a very inspirational story.

 I’ve always had an interest in anything related to technology, especially computers, and my uncle both inspired and motivated me to make the decision to study computer science in college.

I had to make this decision about 3 years ago, at which time I was at a crossroads in my life, and was at my wits end trying to decide something that I knew would affect my whole future life in a pretty short space of time. However, after getting some inspirational advice from my uncle Dave, I decided to follow in his footsteps, and study computer programming. 

The main reason I find him such an inspiration is that he started this business from scratch, while still only in his early twenties, and within only 3 years turned it into the success it is today. I watched him when he first started in this business, and how he poured his heart and soul into it ,to get the business going, and I’m always so inspired by the way he literally eat’s, sleeps and breathes the business .

 Even though his business has grown so much, he still never  sits back, and keeps working hard to keep growing and expanding the business,and always goes the extra mile, which is something that really motivates, and inspires me to keep studying hard. 

 
Thank you….."

Traditions and customs in Argentina and Latin America. TODAY: EASTER

This morning, we watched a news which was the company's entrance ceremony this year.  They were held face to face for the first time in four years on April 3rd. Monday.   I was able to watch a lot of smiles of the new guys and girls. 
Today I'm going to talk about three company's entrance ceremony that were impactful to me.
****************************************************
4月4日火曜日　今朝のニュースは、4月3日月曜日に行われたさまざまな会社の入社式の模様が報道されました。
対面での入社式が行われたのが、実に4年ぶりだったことに、私は改めて驚きました。
日本航空　JALは、コロナの影響で3年間客室乗務員の採用がなかったそうです。そのため、その間ＪＡＬへの就職を希望していた学生たちは、他の会社に就職して　採用再開を待っていたと言っていました。　ＪＡＬの入社式は羽田空港の飛行機の格納庫で行われていました。　広いスペースが、去年の6倍の2000人の新入社員で埋め尽くされていました。　そして何より印象的だったのが、それぞれの「抱負」を書いた紙飛行機を飛ばしたときの彼らの笑顔です。本当に晴れやかな笑顔で、テレビのこちらで見ている私まで嬉しくなりました。
それから、東京都を走る小田急電鉄の入社式も印象的でした。　今年の秋で引退する特急ロマンスカー「ＶＳＥ」の車内で　入社式が行われていました。　式典のあと、列車に乗車したまま新宿駅に移動すると、駅のホームでは歓迎のメッセージを持った先輩社員たちが出迎えてくれていました。　鉄道会社らしい素敵な入社式ですよね。
もう一社、印象に残ったのは、ユニリーバ・ジャパン・カスタマーマーケティングの入社式です。こちらも4年ぶりに本社開催だったそうですが、髪型、服装は自由、マスク着用も自由。「自分らしさを表した髪型、髪色」「服装も入社式にこだわらなくていい」とのこと。
入社式といえば、黒や紺のスーツに白色のカッターシャツかブラウスというのがお決まりのスタイル。　自由に自分で決めるということは、案外難しいことだと思いますが、ユニリーバの新入社員さんたちは、会社からのそのリクエストを楽しんでいるように見えました。　
コロナ渦で閉じ込められてきた若いエネルギーが解き放たれた瞬間を　入社式のニュースで見ることができました。　入社、おめでとう！
