The Alchemy of Progress: A Guide in My Transformation Life

By Naufar Ganih

In my book The Alchemy Of Progress I explored how to combine mission, leadership and self-actualization elements to transform daily endeavors from personal, interpersonal and professional areas of my life in creating a masterpiece. I believe the same could be applied to you.
And it is not a question of how much you are willing to pay for this little book. Re-learning and taking back what is rightly for you that has been taken away for granted by the demands of your environments that really matters.
The alchemy of progress book can be a useful tool in your strategy to support and promote any size of business or projects, both personal and professional areas of your life. I'll walk you through the nine stages that I divided into three main elements.
We'll start from the first element "The Objectives". Therein, we'll look at how to tell our stories and let our unique voice to be heard above the noisy world we live today. Then I discuss how to find the seeds of our inspiration by asking and answering question. We'll look at our inner values that helps us make our choices wisely everyday.
Then, you'll take a dive into "The Leadership" element part two of the book, to look at how I guide and encourage forward movement in each role we play in our society today. And finally, the 3rd element.I’have shared what I called "The Actualization" and how we chunk our actions into three words - Just Do It.
If you have not read the book yet I suggest do it so now and I guarantee it can be both fun and magical, as soon as you start to put your own life into. - Naufar K. Ganih

I was able to travel to Iran as one of the privileged scholarship grantees to study in the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) where I earned my degree in Television Production in one of the universities in the country. I am happily married to an Iranian woman and was rewarded and or gifted by Allah with a beautiful child. My family and I have been living in Iran for over a decade now. I am indeed happy and inspired to write this unique book to achieve something out of my past experience in the country. This is also coupled with my passion to write, while at the same time to create a useful tool to help boost my creativity in my journey and pursuit of a healthy and progressive life.

Preface

"Learned is he who knows his worth."

- Imam Ali (a.s.)

"You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him to find it within himself"

- Galileo

"We know what to do but we don’t do what we know"

-Tony Robbins

The men and women of yesterday did not wait for us, the men and women of today, to provide them, paper and ink to be able to write, and communicate. They have been driven by what they believed were necessary as far as their needs were concerned, so they produced masterpieces and the rest is history. Yet, exist the men and women today of deep knowledge who are full of hope and dreams, but also rich in self-doubt. In both cases, they both hold valid argument at least for their own benefits.

I cannot wait to see applauses (e.g. as a non-native English speaker) that my knowledge in English skill should be perfectly enough, to be able to write a book in the English language. Because within me I know I can find many things to undertake a book is one of them.

My journey is not entirely a revelation of my very own making, but rather it is a product of many pages of writings and other digital Medias that I have come in contact with. Some of the subjects are management, philosophy, psychology, theology, sociology, arts and many other sources from magazine, online articles on the internet, books, newspapers, radio, audio, television and movies, and of course, my very own experiences and gained knowledge as a television productions graduate and a travel business owner-proprietor/entrepreneur.

Some scholars and writers like, Ayatollah Ibrahim Amini, Seyed Tababatabei, Seyed Mousavi Lari, Brian Tracy, Anthony Robbins, Jim Rohn, Stephen covey, Peter Drucker, Wyne Dyer and many more are cited in the writing of this book.

My transformation journey is my very own true to life experience – the alchemy that touches my student life, marriage and business’ life in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

I divided this book into three chapters I called the alchemy of mission, leadership and self-actualization; each carries the three elements of my life transformation as guide, it is hoped this modest book will be appreciated by the reading public or party than guidelines in their daily professional undertakings for change.

I am dreaming of a life, full of health, wealth, happiness, power and wisdom.

A life of continues growth that sprung from the fountains of my faith, discipline, perseverance, curiosity, courage and passions.

A principled-guided life stands with dignity, decent, and worth remembering.

Question: Do I really know what I wanted most in writing this book?

Answer: Yes, a big Yes.

I went ahead, act and started my writing though, and despite my awareness that the world is full of pro-active and perfectionist people and serious critics
