I think everybody at some point of his life or her life is going to be obsessive or taking a keen interest into some subject, concept or any related issue. For me, it was the history. Growing up as a child of a father who teach history in schools, I became interested and fond of Iranian history. Iranian history is divided into three periods, pre-Islamic, Islamic and contemporary history. I really loved those upheavals and turmoil my country went undergone. And rent have underwent. So I decided to, it was really cool and I liked the story of kings and queens and battles and wars and it gave me a sense of pride at some times. I was swelled with pride every time I read the story of Zandia dynasty or any other dynasty and their contribution to the story of this nation. My teacher for this course was accidentally my father’s friend who also taught history. So one day he was aware of my enthusiasm, someday he pulled me away and said, look I know you like history but history is written by conquerors. So don’t trust history and you don’t have to trust because you know everybody that won, have won a war has wrote the history. So that was the speech.

I think everybody at some point in their life is going to become obsessive or take a keen interest in some subject, concept, or related issue. For me, it was history. Growing up as the child of a father who taught history in schools, I became interested in and fond of Iranian history. Iranian history is divided into three periods: pre-Islamic, Islamic, and contemporary history. I really loved the upheavals and turmoil my country underwent. I decided it was really cool, and I liked the stories of kings and queens, battles, and wars, which gave me a sense of pride at times. I was filled with pride every time I read about the Zandia dynasty or any other dynasty and their contributions to the story of this nation. My teacher for this course was actually my father's friend, who also taught history. One day, he noticed my enthusiasm and pulled me aside, saying, 'Look, I know you like history, but history is written by conquerors. So don't trust history, because everyone who has won a war has written the history.' So that was the speech.
