Radwan Lachhab is an adventurous and curious "Danish Viking", someone who enjoys life very much. loves to travel - Originally Moroccan but lived most of his years split up between San diego, California, Hawaii and Las vegas. always had an inquisitive mind. I don't think he ever grew out of the "why" phase of life. Understanding what makes one person wake up happy and another sad has been my greatest challenge. Why cry, lough, sex..

And I guess his ideal would be a world where we would all live in perfect harmony. not suggesting that we could, or should live without many of the emotions and feelings that bring us down, afterall how would we really have true expression of who we were. his ideal is more based around the philosophy that we explore our own thoughts, feelings and emotions rather then projecting them on to others or blaming others for how we react to them.

From a profisinal level, when asked to describe him, partners comment about his innovative approach, organizational values (or at least trying) and high ethical standards. Self-driven, result, process and system-oriented with a positive outlook and a clear focus on business objectives.

To be frank! My personality type is "annoying smartass". Moreover, I'm a master at making chocolate cakes...now that I moved to morocco I'm in need of mastering something else, cause its no longer working the magic :) ..... besides beliving that I'm a chocolate cakes master ( and sushi), I have other belifes toward my surondings! One is to enjoy the journey. Too many people put their lives on hold for hope of some sort of promised future. One thing I learned in my humble experience, is that the journey is more important than the pie in the sky. That doesn't mean one shouldn't set goals, it just means that one should not lose sight of the present.

Because of the nature of my faith and gratefulness to what life has and still offers me, I tend to lean more heavily on humanistic beliefs although I am also inclined to borrow from other philosophical orientations. I believe for example that the environment I live in influences my behaviour and that what I am is partly a product of the environment that I grew in.

I come in contact with different kinds of people from different cultures, and with unique situations needs and aspirations, so this interaction certainly has a lot of influence in the way I live my life.

Meaning....

I believe that since human beings are endowed with the intellectual faculty they are superior to all the other animals. With the intellectual faculty, human beings have the capacity to determine and direct their destiny, if not all at least part of it.

Human beings have a purpose, and certain goals and aspirations that they live and strive for. Human life is geared towards a meaningful and a greater realization of the self and the values inherent in being human. There is a reason for being human.

I believe in the autonomy and dignity of every person but at the same time recognize the fact that I am because we are. People around me help me to discover my individuality.

Also! Human beings are basically good but I realize that they are also capable of doing evil and harming other people. however, I believe that I should always give other people the benefit of the doubt that they are actually good. Such an attitude obviously calls for taking a risk and trusting in other people.

A complete and fulfilled life is built on trust. I cannot imagine a life where I cannot trust others while I have to rely on them. At least I can entrust my life to my doctor so that He can keep me healthy. Human beings are always innocent until they prove themselves guilty.

Favorit books - Top 20

Sometimes books influence our beliefs or imbue us with so much knowledge that our intellect is forever shaped. More important to me are those books that provide a mystic transport to another reality. Equally important are those books that give pure druglike pleasure and relaxation, allowing us to escape reality in times of stress. Whether they are profoundly philosophical or provide an endless adventure, books provide us with a means and system to leave the prison of our aloneness and enter alternate worlds of infinite possibility.
