His guiding principles
Farrhad being a humble guy attributes his success to his love for his work. He enjoys his work and that fetches success, he believes. Farrhad has his feet grounded in reality and strongly believes in some time tested principles.

What success stories teach him?
Farrhad reads success stories to gather inspiration as they teach him an invaluable lesson- failure is success turned upside down. They also give him courage to take risks as nothing big has been ever achieved without taking risk.
The importance of education
Farrhad is still in college and believe it or not, he loves to study and has even plans to go for higher studies. This may raise a few eyebrows but he has a lot of faith in conventional education. He has his own reasons for that.
Farrhad is of the opinion that college education can actually help him in realizing his dreams. Education puts a man in a better position to analyze challenges and tackle them. He can be a role model for the younger generation when he says that education never gets wasted and getting college degrees can prove advantageous for the future.
Farrhad’s life perhaps is a living example of what time management and planning can achieve. In spite of studying in college he manages to run a business. This can surely inspire a lot of people who complain of not having enough time to do anything worthwhile in life.
Farrhad has the potential to aim higher and succeed. He has tasted success at such an early age and does not find it intoxicating. He still has lot to do and want to put his innovative ideas into use.
We wish him success for his future and will look up to him whenever we need inspiration to dream big or face any challenge. People like him are an asset to the mankind.
