رمانJane Eyre

Plot introduction 

Jane Eyre is a first-person narrative of the title character. The novel goes through five distinct stages: Jane's childhood at Gateshead, where she is emotionally and physically abused by her aunt and cousins; her education at Lowood School, where she acquires friends and role models but also suffers privations; her time as the governess of Thornfield Hall, where she falls in love with her Byronic employer, Edward Rochester; her time with the Rivers family at Marsh's End (or Moor House) and Morton, where her cold clergyman-cousin St John Rivers proposes to her; and her reunion with and marriage to her beloved Rochester. Partly autobiographical, the novel abounds with social criticism. It is a novel considered ahead of its time. In spite of the dark, brooding elements, it has a strong sense of right and wrong, of morality at its core. 

Jane Eyre is divided into 38 chapters and most editions are at least 400 pages long (although the preface and introduction on certain copies are liable to take up another 100). The original was published in three volumes, comprising chapters 1 to 15, 16 to 26, and 27 to 38; this was a common publishing format during the 19th century, see Three-volume novel.

Brontë dedicated the novel's second edition to William Makepeace Thackeray.

Keys to Making A Good Decision

 

There are important steps and keys to making a good decision.  

Good or sound decision-making is necessary for living life productively and efficiently.

All of us are confronted with various decisions to make on a daily basis. Some are small and of minor consequence, while others are huge and potentially life changing. Some are simple and obvious choices; others are more difficult and painstaking.

For those that are complex and difficult to make, there is a process we can follow to help us come up with a good solution.

The Keys To Making a Good Decision Identify the decision to be made as well as the objectives or outcome you want to achieve. Do your homework. Gather as many facts and as much information you can to assess your options. Brainstorm and come up with several possible choices. Determine if the options are compatible with your values, interests and abilities. Weigh the probabilities or possible outcomes. In other words, what's the worst that can happen? What will happen if I do A, B or C and can I live with the consequences? Make a list of the pros and cons. Prioritize which considerations are very important to you, and which are less so. Sometimes when you match the pros against the cons you may find them dramatically lopsided. Solicit opinions and obtain feedback from those you trust or have had a similar situation to contend with. There may be some aspects you haven't thought about. Make the decision and monitor your results. Make sure you obtain the desired outcome.

قوانین زیبای زندگی

 

 زندگی شگفت انگیز است
فقط در صورتیکه بدانی چطور زندگی کنی
 مهم این نیست که قشنگ باشی
قشنگ این است که مهم باشی !
حتی برای یک نفر
کوچک باش و عاشق ... که عشق، خود میداند آئین بزرگ دانستنت را
بگذار عشق خاصیت تو باشد، نه رابطه خاص تو با کسی
موفقیت پیش رفتن است نه به نقطه ی پایان رسیدن
هر روز صبح در آفریقا، آهویی از خواب بیدار میشود
و برای زندگی کردن و امرار معاش در صحرا میچرد

آهو میداند که باید از شیر سریعتر بدود
در غیر اینصورت طعمه شیر خواهد شد
شیر نیز برای زندگی و امرار معاش در صحرا میگردد
میداند که باید از آهو سریعتر بدود، تا گرسنه نماند

مهم این نیست که تو شیر باشی یا آهو ...
مهم اینست که با طلوع آفتاب از خواب برخیزی و برای زندگیت
با تمام توان
و با تمام وجود شروع به دویدن کنی ...

گذشته ات را بدون هیچ تأسفی بپذیر
با اعتماد، زمان حالت را بگذران
و بدون ترس برای آینده آماده شو 

زلال باش ... ،‌ زلال باش ... ،
زلال تر از قطرات اشک
فرقی نمی کند که گودال کوچک آبی باشی
یا دریای بیکران، زلال که باشی، آسمان در تو پیداست دو چیز را همیشه فراموش کن:خوبی که به کسی می کنی
بدی که کسی به تو می کند

مادر

مادر
من خودم وقتی این داستانو خوندم گریه کردم حتما این داستانو بخونید خیلی تکون دهندست...
my mother only had one eye; i hated her.. she was such an embarrassment
مادر من فقط یک چشم داشت . من از اون متنفر بودم ... اون همیشه مایه خجالت من بود


She cooked for students & teachers to support the family
اون برای امرار معاش خانواده برای معلم ها و بچه مدرسه ای ها غذا می پخت


There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me
یک روز اومده بود دم در مدرسه که به من سلام کنه و منو با خود به خونه ببره


I was so embarrassed.
How could she do this to me?
خیلی خجالت کشیدم . آخه اون چطور تونست این کار رو بامن بکنه ؟


I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out
به روی خودم نیاوردم ، فقط با تنفر بهش یه نگاه کردم وفورا از اونجا دور شدم


The next day at school one of my classmates said
"EEEE, your mom only has one eye!“
روز بعد یکی از همکلاسی ها منو مسخره کرد و گفت هووو .. مامان تو فقط یک چشم داره


I wanted to bury myself
I also wanted my mom to just disappear
فقط دلم میخواست یک جوری خودم رو گم و گور کنم . کاش زمین دهن وا میکرد و منو ..
کاش مادرم یه جوری گم و گور میشد...



So I confronted her that day and said, " If you're only gonna make me a laughing stock, why don't you just die?!!!
"روز بعد بهش گفتم اگه واقعا میخوای منو شاد و خوشحال کنی چرا نمی میری ؟


My mom did not respond...
اون هیچ جوابی نداد....


I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger

حتی یک لحظه هم راجع به حرفی که زدم فکر نکردم ، چون خیلی عصبانی بودم

I was oblivious to her feelings
احساسات اون برای من هیچ اهمیتی نداشت
