Interests:
Hassan Gheittassi has followed his passion for languages throughout
his educational and professional life. He is one of the truly
blessed people who loves what he is doing and is living his dreams.
From an early age, Hassan has studied languages and cultures. His
goal is to master several other languages in addition to those he
already speaks. Hassan has begun study of Arabic, Turkish, and
German. In the future he plans to learn Spanish, Italian, Hindi and
Urdu. This arsenal of linguist ability will allow Mr. Gheittassi to
travel throughout the world communicating with and learning from
people in their native tongues.
He is interested in sociology and has personally corresponded with
one of the greatest social linguists of the modern era, Noam
Chomsky. Hassan's fascination with language and communication
extends to the very workings of the human brain. In Abu Dhabi he had
the opportunity to meet Nobel Laureate in Economics, John Nash, of
Princeton University, one of the greatest mathematical geniuses of
our time. Nash's life inspired the Academy Award winning 2001 film,
A Beautiful Mind, which Hassan counts among his favorite movies.
Hassan has been inspired by scholars from around the world and
emulates their work ethics in his own pursuits.
Outside of the academic sphere, Hassan enjoys traditional Persian
music, which gives him a sense of peace and tranquility as well as a
connection to his rich heritage. Hassan is also a singer and has
been nicknamed Le Chanteur de la Sorbonne (the singer of the
Sorbonne) by his fellow students. His beautiful voice could be heard
throughout the campus putting smiles on the faces of students from
around the world as they enjoyed a pleasant interlude from their
studies.
When he isn't singing or speaking in a foreign language, Hassan
mediates in the silence of the mountains, enjoying the clean area
and the presence of Allah. Hassan is a self-proclaimed dreamer, a
man in touch with life's many possibilities who also possesses the
ability to make his dreams come true. Nine years before actually
studying at the Sorbonne, Hassan imagined himself there. He worked
diligently at his studies to make that dream a reality and in 2008
stood at the entrance of that prestigious institution having earned
a full academic scholarship. Hassan could only smile, the private
smile of a person who is living his dream.
Hassan has an adventurous spirit. His desire to travel will
eventually carry him across the Atlantic Ocean on the Queen
Elizabeth 2 to visit the Big Apple of New York City. While in the
United States, he plans to visit Boston, the home of many Nobel
laureates who have inspired Hassan's studies from childhood.
Presently a swimming enthusiast, Hassan's future plans include scuba
diving. He is a great lover of the ocean and seas. He is fascinated
by underwater life and will take his interest in photography to the
depths of the waters to capture its mystery on digital media.
Perhaps more daring, Hassan dreams of skydiving, feeling the the
rhapsody of air around him and returning gently to the earth
suspended only by a parachute.
But for now, his earth bound passions direct him to the study of
history through novels and biographies learning how people lived
during other times and in other places. He has read about the lives
of scientists, world leaders, and famous scholars. Hassan also
enjoys reading psychology, genetics, and neurology. He is a lover of
famous quotations such and has summarized his personal philosophy in
the words of Albert Einstein: “Imagination is everything. It is a
preview of life's coming attractions.”
