I belive I can fly...

Last couple of days, every morning, for some reason I hear this song on the radio.




If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh

If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

Hey, cuz I believe in me, oh

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothign to it

Hey, if I just spread my wings
I can flyI can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Fly-eye-eye

Since the last blog...

15 months past since the last post I made in my blog. Today I realized that how much I miss blogging. I read my old blogs and I was shocked to see how much I have changed since I moved back to Azerbaijan. And guess what? I didn't change to improve myself, but it was visa versa...

13 top changes since I moved back to Azerbaijan:

1. I became more of the intravert person than I used to be
2. My English is not as good as it used to be
3. I either work all the time or think about the work
4. I don't have colorful life any more, people around me are not very international as it was in USA
5. I am now married
6. I have a new nickname: e-Farid (I am in e-commerce business in Azerbaijan, thats why)
7. I am not as free as I used to be, now I need to be carefull with everything I do and I say
8. I don't blog much and don't read blogs. I am more of facebook addicted now
9. Unlike in USA, I am about to change many lives in Azerbaijan (people will be able to pay online, open up online businesses, and interact online more)
10. I have not read a book in a long time
11. Now I honk in the car much more than in USA (don't remember if I ever honked in USA)
12. I need to travel every 3 months
13. I complain a lot

Update

I have not been bloging at all recently. Life has been busy. It is only about work...work and work.

I was in USA for some time in the end of February beginning of March for a business trip.

I got couple of deals and projects for my company and currently working on them. Starting May 1st, Azerbaijan will hear about Silverkey big time.

I also have a trip planned to Europe. I need to be in Finland and then Baltics. But I want to hit some other european city (London, Amasterdam or Berlin) to meet up some friends.

I am looking forward to earn some money in order to buy a car...

Enjoy Your Coffee!

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversationsoon turned into complaints about stress in work and in life. Offering his guests coffee,the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite -telling them to help themselves to the coffee.When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, theprofessor said:

"Ifyou noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup,but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups. Now consider this: Life is the coffee, and thejobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and do not change the quality of Life. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided."So, don't let the cups drive you ...enjoy the coffee instead."

Super song

Elilmde olsa kalbine taht kuracaktim
vakit gelince ben bu haram bicagi
attlatip sana esir olacaktim

Düsünüyorduk seninle ayni seyler
zaman gelince unutmuyorduk eski günleri
bu kalpte tek olacaktik

Nasil güzeldi elini tutmak
dudaklarinda mühür olmak

Ne olur gitme
ufak tefek seylere kizip gitme
ne yapmadimki sen cok istedinde
yavas yavas kabul edelim senin ilacin benim
ne olur gitme

Slow...

Things are moving slow here which is driving crazy...
