A New Life !

Well there are times I think to myself, man could things get any worse ! and I just get hit by something worse !!! It's like sometimes failures are just waiting for the rightest times to hit me. However, the purpose of this post is not to complain about how miserable my life can get and what not. In fact, in contrary, I want to show you the total opposite and perhaps you can learn from this and apply it for your own lives. 

It started with a miserable day that I woke up in a damp basement that has now become a territory in the house that the other family members don't usually intrude thanks to the co-existence pact that I signed with another living species called spiders. 
Same as every day, the first thing I did was checking my email desperately looking for an admission offer, interview opportunity, anything really ! Anything but the usual RSS feeds of LinkedIn about some stupid recruiters with backgrounds in history and art hiring for nuclear engineers or desperate job seekers begging for free internship opportunities or business owners who always complain about that LinkedIn is not a job-hunting  website (Damn I hate these people the most!). Dollar/Toman exchange rate didn't look promising either and the usual thoughts around weighting dad's business with the new Dollar value wasn't a good start for the day. 

Well... There I was in the lowest level of "Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs" where the only things that kept me above the base line was the fact that I could breathe.  

Being in such a state in your life, it only takes a text message from one of your best friends in New York saying that he and his lovely wife have decided to name their son Sina that can make you the happiest living thing on the planet earth.

You simply wake up, delete all the stupid LinkedIn feeds, dress up and head downtown with the "HOPE" to catch the professor at UoT you have contacted with earlier to convince him to be your PhD supervisor. 

The last thing you utter before heading out would be:

"You know what? Fuck Maslow! I can't let a triangle ruin my day!"
