In memory of my father,
who I miss and love very much.
This poem was written by my father, Zsolt Erdélyi (1962-2018), who taught me the value and love of the life. He encouraged me to stand up for myself and always fight for what I believe in and never settle for less in life.
Erdélyi Zsolt:
Gyermekeinknek
Gyermekekből hamar válik felnőtt,
S reméled, hogy a fejed lágya benőtt.
Problémákkal nem találkoztál ez ideig,
Szüleid megoldották azt mindig.
Most, hogy lassan magadra lész hagyva,
Tudással gazdagon utadra bocsátva.
Apu és anyu nem félt olyan nagyon,
Mert érzelmekkel vagy tele gazdagon.
Tudom, nevelésünk nem mindig érte célját,
Fordítsd hát javadra, amit tőlünk tanultál!
Nagy öröm az nekünk, ha boldogulni látunk,
Sikered olyan lesz, mint a sajátunk!
Mit is kívánhatnának szüleid neked,
Mint nagyon boldog és gazdag életet.
Sikerből és boldogságból profitáljál mindig,
S tudjad magad mellett szerető szüleid!

My father’s drawings
My father loved to draw. Even today, I can almost see him sitting at his desk working for long hours on one of his creations. He always had a good eye for art and was talented. His hobbies also appeared in his drawings. He enjoyed movies, music, motorcycling, fishing, cooking and spending time in the countryside away from the noise of the city. He had a great sense of humor and loved to be surrounded by good people. His friends were very important to him, he always held them in high esteem.
The story of Mianaralife logo
I would like to share a short story that is a very fond memory for me. We used to talk a lot at home with my father. About life, the development of the world and sciences, nature, arts and our family. One summer afternoon we sat in the living room, where he told us about his father and old family times. It was the first time he talked about his signature. He proudly showed that his ancestors had similarly shaped the letter “E” in their signature. He showed the letter formation with slow hand movements, because I wanted to learn it too. My signature soon became similar. I also added this feature to the short version of my signature that I currently use as my logo.
