Heaven-Given Persia

My dear cousin, Sasan Khajavi is coming out with a book titled: Heaven-Given Persia: The Iran Not Known. It will be on sale at Amazon in March of 2009. Just in time for Norowz! (More on this in future blogs)

Sasan is a fascinating man. A genius with a brilliant mind. In his young life, he has invented many things. Many of them technical but it's his poetic mind that amazes me. He is powerful in both hemispheres of his brain. The Left and the Right!

I look forward to reading his book as I know I will be learning more about the origins of where I've come from. Sasan loves Persia and knows so many facts about that country and he always has the factual resources to backup his knowledge.

Here is a this little excerpt from his book and it will give you a big window into the mind of this amazing mind:

"I have an obligation to both countries. I came to the U.S. when I was fourteen -- old enough to have become Persian and young enough to become American. Love of Persia and America are not mutually exclusive. I love America and Persia the same way that one loves both his parents.

If I let both nations know as much about each as possible, I have given something good back to America and to the country of my birth, Persia. The aim of this book is not peace, for peace implies war. Peace is a low goal. Peace requires nothing. Peace is passive. One can despise a people and yet be at peace with them. The aim of this book is friendship -- the most beautiful relationship that exists
between two people. Friendship requires effort; it requires engaging; and above all, it requires respect. And respect requires seeking, learning, and focusing on other people's good."

I hope you give his book a try when it is available. See: http://www.heavengivenpersia.com/
