My motto in life has been “If you want something and pursue it with a definite purpose, then the whole creation will come together to help you achieve it”. I will be honest it has served me well.
I have witnessed many amazing things throughout my life. I have lived in numerous countries, including Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, India, Pakistan Turkmenistan, Russia, and The United States of America. I was forced to experience many distinct cultures, see different ways of life and observe how a strange society operates. I have learned about eastern and western history, philosophies, politics and religions; Life itself has been a great teacher for me. I have been traveling since I was a small child. In every country that I moved to, I had to overcome great challenges to adapt quickly to new ways and compete with people who were born to that society. Competition has become a part of my character. During my travels, I have learned to speak 4 languages fluently including Russian, Urdu, Farsi, and English. Most of them I had to start from scratch. For example, when I moved to the United States on March 16 2004, (it marks me staying the longest in a single country of 8 years). I remember I spoke only 3 phrases.
