Reason behind this life time project of mine "in search of Common Goal" is, because of, my lost potentials. your true potentials are lost too, therefore all Humanity lost their true potentials.

My story

My name is Ahmad Masoumpanah, known as Emmy. Born in Tehran, Iran, in the spring of 1941. I grow up in a family of eight siblings. As a child, my father, construction builder and a poet, gave me books to read. "Travel the world, without leaving the house." my father would say. Later on, as I grew, I wanted to travel and see the world by my own eyes. My father told me, "Wherever you go, there always be the same blue sky." I would argue, but, people are different, you have to travel yourself to seek for knowledge and find truth about life. I could not understand my father's meanings.

I believes that, handful of events would shape our character, our destiny and who we will become. My mother taught me to be a Peacemaker, by making peace among her friends. My father taught me, to Built a bridge, not to destroy.

One Vivid impression that changed me and became the path of my life. One day I was listening to my mother & father, talking about something, they have heard from somebody that was very interesting to them. Later, I heard they were talking about the same thing, but, this time they have seen it. I wanted to see what they saw. I ask them to take me with them next time when they were going to see it. Finally, the day came and after long waiting, we entered inside a building with lots of chairs and a big white wall. My first Movie experience was Tarzan. I was mesmerized by what I was seeing. That left long lasting impression on me, specially, when Tarzan was American, Protecting animals and villagers from bad people with guns.

Another event that left impression was one summer day, when I was playing soccer with other kids. I heard a strange sound and then I saw a helicopter trying to land on the field, where we were playing. It was for the first time I was seeing a helicopter. As dust was flying all around and other kids were yelling, American. American. Finally, dust settled down and helicopter doors opened and pilot got out with sun glasses and an interesting uniform, with shiny shoes. As the pilot passed by me, with his fist touched my jaw and he said, "Hi kido" and as he pass by me. I was wondering and asked myself, how come the man landed from sky in front of me is different than me and others. Where is America? That was the seed for my interest to travel and I planned to come to my dream land, America.

The one event and experience that left lasting impression and inspired me to seek solution for problems , happened when I was in my early youth with lots of questions in my mind, with no answers.

One summer night looking at stars, laying on my bed on the roof of our house in Tehran.
Since I couldn't see anything else, only stars in the sky, I felt, the whole earth is on my shoulder, traveling very fast, yet, hardly moving in space. I thought about all the people and felt that goodness is covering the whole world. I felt that, universe have nothing wrong. I felt and could see how we all could live in peace, harmony and be happy. I past the darkness of space into bright pure white space, where everything were simple to understand. Thinking how beautiful life could be like, when suddenly, I heard a voices yelling , thief, thief, robbing my house. I got up and went to the edge of the roof top and saw bunch of guys with light and clubs searching for a burglar in the neighbor's large garden. Somehow I started searching by looking down and saw a frightened and scared man looking up at pleading with me not to say anything. I looked back at the guys looking everywhere to find him. By the time I looked down again he was gone and nobody found him. As I got back on my bed thinking about what a different world we are living in. My dilemma was, if I told them where he was, they would kill him vs. what he had down was wrong. What should I have done? From then on I started to find out about life and search for answers for problems that we all have.

As I grew older, I was more determined to travel around the world to find answers to my questions about life, Seek solution for problems that humanity is facing. I traveled more than fifth different countries until I reached America, the land of opportunity, same time that man stepped on the moon.

Through out my traveling,

"I am a person no more or less, nor smart then any body else. I just have singular goal,that is
"In search of common goal". and I am trying to share my experience and findings with anyone who truly cares." Through my experiences by traveling, I learned that, on this planet of earth, everyone is hungry for love. I believe, , we have a lot in common, therefore, we can find a common ground, and have a common understanding about our lives, to create a Common goal to reach a better life for all of us as human beings.

"The key is, Caring."
