Frank Lloyd Wright Was Born June 8, 1867

Some people do their most creative work late in life. Frank Lloyd Wright was one of America's most influential architects, and he designed some of his most famous buildings when he was over seventy years old. Wright was born on June 8, 1867, in Richland Center, Wisconsin. He was trained to be an engineer but mostly taught himself how to design buildings. He believed houses should be comfortable for the occupants but should also blend in with their environment. He took this idea to its limit when he designed a house in Pennsylvania named Falling water, which is suspended above a waterfall. Wright designed other

Wright designed the Guggenheim Museum of modern and contemporary art in New York City. This modern structure marked a bold departure from traditional museum design. Its exhibition space featured a spiraling six-story ramp, which encircled an open center space lit by a glass dome. When Wright died at ninety years of age, he had just finished the design for a mile-high office building (it was never built). How long do you think it would take an elevator to get to the top? Have you ever seen a building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright? r buildings with unique characteristics.

The First Telephone Call March 10, 1876
What were the first words ever spoken on the telephone? They were spoken by Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, when he made the first call on March 10, 1876, to his assistant, Thomas Watson: "Mr. Watson--come here--I want to see you." What would you have said?
The First Telephone Call March 10, 1876
Born in 1846in Edinburgh, Scotland, Bell became an expert in sound and public speaking. His understanding of sound helped him to teach the deaf and then invent the telephone. Bell was a man of vision. After the telephone's success, he wrote to his father about a future when "friends converse with each other without leaving home." How often do you talk with your friends on the phone? Can you imagine how life would be different without it?

The First Telephone CallMarch 10, 1876
Inspired by his scientific curiosity, Bell went on to create other new inventions, including the photo phone in 1880. This first wireless telephone transmitted sound on a beam of light instead of electrical wires. It is the forefather of the cordless phone and 80% of today's telephone systems that use fiber optics.

The First Telephone Call March 10, 1876
Bell's first telephone call was so famous, he repeated the phrase in 1915 in the formal opening of the completed transcontinental telephone lines connecting America's East and West coasts. Picking up the phone in New York, Mr. Bell said, "Mr. Watson, come here, I want you." But this time Watson replied that it would take him a week; he was on the other end of the line in San Francisco.

Len was thirty years old, and he had very long hair. He lived in a big city, but one year he did not find any work there, so he went to a small town and began looking for work there. He went to a lot of places, but nobody wanted him.
Then he met an old friend, and this man said to him, people in this town don't like long hair. Why don't you go to a barber? He can cut a lot of it off, and then you can get some work.
Len went to a barber and said, please cut most of my hair off. The barber began. He cut and cut for a long time and then he said to Len, were you in the army a few years ago?
Yes I was, Len answered. Why did you ask that?
Because I've found your cap, the barber said.

proverb
The pat calls the kettle black.
دیگ به دیگ می گه روت سیاه.
The cat dreams of mice.
شتر در خواب بیند پنبه دانه.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.
دوست آن باشد که گیرد دست دوست در پریشان حالی و در ماندگی
From a to z
از سیر تا پیاز
Easy come, easy go.
باد آورده را باد می برد.
You pays your money and you take your choose.
هرچی پول بدی آش می خوری.
Worlds always from something.
زمین تا آسمان فرقش است .
Business is business.
حساب حساب است و کاکا برادر .
Children and fad can't lie.

حرف راست را از بچه بشنو.

Love god, have all
با خدا باشی همه چیز را داری .

poem
Learning isn't easy …
Frustration tends to set in quickly.
You hurt.
You feel defeated.
You want to give up to quit.
You want to walk away and pretend it doesn't matter.
But you won't, because you're not a loser you're a fighter…
We all have to lose sometimes
Before we can win,
We have to cry sometimes
Before we can smile.
We have to hurt
Before we can be strong.
But if you keep on working
And believing,
You'll have victory
In the end.

آموختن آسان نیست...
خستگی هر آن در کمین است.
آزرده می شوی احساس شکست می کنی .
شک می کنی که رها کنی و بگذری
می خواهی بر کناره روی و وانمود کنی که اتفاقی نیفتاده.
اما نه ...
تو بازنده نیستی که
یک مبارزی .
پیش از آنکه برنده باشیم .
باید گاه بگرییم تا بتوانیم روزی بخندیم.
باید آزرده شویم تا روزی توانمند باشیم.
اگر پیوسته بکوشی و ایمان داشته باشی
در پایان پیروزی از آن تو خواهد بود.

poem

For a happy life …
Believe in yourself
But don't be overconfident;
Be satisfied
But know that you can always improve;
Accept love graciously
And always be ready to give more;
Be modest in victory and success
And courageous in defeat;
Give comfort and security to others
And you will always receive it in return;
Be glad … just for being
The wonderful person that you are.

(برای زیستی شادمانه )
خود را باور کن.
اما مست غرور هرگز!
راضی باش.
لیکن بدان که همیشه می توانی فراتر روی
عشق را بزرگوارانه بپذیر
و همواره آماده ایثار بیشتر
در پیروزی و کامیابی فروتن باش.
و در شکست پر دل.
آرامش و امنیت را به دیگران ارزیابی دار
تا همان به تو باز گردد.
شادزی!
که تو خود شگفت انگیزی.

poem

You never know
Until you try.
And you never try
Unless you really try.
You give it your best shot;
You do the best you can.

And if you've done everything
In your power, and still "fail"-
The truth of the matter is
That you haven't failed at all.

When you reach for your dreams,
No matter what they may be,
You grow from the reaching;
You learn from the trying;
You win from the doing.

تا نکوشی در نخواهی یافت
و اگر به تمامی نکوشی نکوشیده ای
آزموده تر تیرت را به سویش روانه می کنی
هر آنچه در توان داری به کار می گیری
و اگر با تمام وجود کوشیدی و باز
ناکام ماندی
زنهار که شکست نخورده ای
آنگاه که به سوی رویاهایت بال می گشایی
چه اهمیتی دارد که که آنها چگونه اند.
از رسیدن است که می بالی
از کوشیدن است که می آموزی
و از رفتن است که پیروز باز می گردی.
