MY WAY

An Autobiography

by: Behzad Farahani​

My birthplace was no ordinary land; it was the most ancient location on earth, a cradle of civilizations, layered with thousands of years of human endeavor, triumph, and tragedy. Here, history is not merely remembered—it is lived.

​

From an early age, I became accustomed to considering both perspectives and thinking in terms of millennia rather than decades.

 

The stones beneath my feet had witnessed the rise and fall of empires, the birth of languages, and the forging of freedom. Every sunrise carried echoes of pioneers, philosophers, mathematicians, scientists, kings, poets, and common folk who once called this place home. I was born into a world saturated with memory, where every breeze seemed to whisper stories from millennia past.

 

As the globe collectively exhaled after years of unimaginable turmoil, my arrival was both an end and a beginning—a single life emerging amid the collective awakening of nations. I grew up with the weight and wonder of history all around me, my first steps tracing the footprints of countless generations. This ancient soil became not just my inheritance, but the source of my identity, connecting me to all those who had come before and all who would follow after.

 

From the winding, ancient alleys of Tehran to my romantic apartment nestled in the heart of Paris, a lively flat on Cromwell Road in London, and onward to the energetic tumult of New York City’s bustling streets and the fifth avenue, and heavenly peaceful Greenwich, Connecticut, my hometown, these are my unbelievable true stories. 

 

Looking back, the common thread throughout my story is the relentless pursuit of the impossible. From gazing at distant stars to orchestrating intricate global operations, I have discovered that possibility is merely a matter of perspective. The magic happens when we dare to believe, push boundaries, and turn dreams into reality. If there is one lesson I hope to share, it is this: never be afraid to dream big, for even the most impossible goals can be achieved with passion, perseverance, and a little bit of wonder.

 

Throughout my life, I have been captivated by the stars. The act of gazing into the night sky was more than a pastime—it was the beginning of countless dreams. Those twinkling lights inspired me to imagine worlds beyond my reach and chase goals that many deemed impossible. My journey has always been about transforming impossibility into possibility, fueled by an unwavering belief that dreams are meant to be pursued, no matter how distant they may seem.
