WTO

Yesterday was a memorable day for me and my friends who worked in WTO workshop. On Tuesday and Wednesday, a national seminar for the academics introduction to WTO was held in our faculty of law. We had two guests who were the representative of WTO, and they declared their points of view in different aspects of trade law during four panels.
One of them was a Swiss man whose name was Gerardo Thielen, and the other one was Emmanuelle Ganne, who was a French women.
The official language in this seminar was English, then could you guess what was my duty there?
My friends and I were the member of the executive committee. Some of them registered audiences and the other dispersed the catalogues between the audiences and did some stuff like that, and the major duty of mine was translation!
Oh, come on. They trust my ability in this respect, and I had to translate the audiences’ Persian questions into English, and there I understood how importance is grammar2 and its project of writing in this weblog! With the helping of Mr. Mohammadi, I did my job properly. After each seminar like this, I encouraged myself to improve my knowledge, but I don’t know why I couldn’t achieve any improvement in this respect. Maybe I need more assiduous practices.

Suicide!!!

This post is about one of our collegians who committed suicide last week. He was Bachelor of Science in law, and it was his fourth semester. I saw him three or four time with my friends. They worked on a project related to family law, and he had the role of the judge in this case.
His suicide’s news shocked everybody in university, and all professors started to talk about him and criticize his temerity.
You know after happening such events especially in small places like our faculty, news turn into gossips in two minutes, so I don’t know exactly why he did that, but one of them is about “Hedayat” and his memorable novel “ The Blind Owl”. They said he read his stories . Oh, come on. I read “The Blind Owl” over fifteen times and even once I didn’t think about committing suicide.
In our religion, suicide is forbidden and it’s one of the unforgiving sins, and in the opinion of our people, nothing must cause a person do this cardinal sin, but sometimes miseries and adversities of life cannot be tolerated by people because they have different capacities and sometimes life withers the stamina of the heartiest adventurer.
