Like last year and following the public invitation from Amir Mehrani, this year I’m writing the Backpack Post.

The world has always had and will always have its ugliness, but we don’t need to dwell on that ugliness during the few days we can choose to be happy. Reflecting on every good thing that happened in 1393 (2014), let’s smile at all those happy moments and welcome 1394 (2015). As for my backpack, once again, a large part of it is filled with experiences from social interactions. It seems I’m gradually becoming an extrovert, though introversion still holds its place. This year, I realized that, contrary to slogans and show-offs, accomplishing great things requires a solid, well-thought-out foundation and planning. This principle can be applied to any person and any task.
