Mr. Rajaee insisted on appointing me as the general director of Education department for Tehran province.
I told him:" I prefer to be a teacher and there are more eligible people for this position," He answered, "Also there are many people who are better than me to be the minister of education." And then continued: "why do you think I accepted to become the Minister of education?" I answered:”? Perhaps, you have convinced yourself to accept to be the Minister, but I can not!" He said: "No, do you think those Ministries before revolution were more capable than us? No, they were just a little famous. Other’s flattering made them famous. ”?Then he said:”? We should not think that we are incapable. We should always have self-confidence.”?
