CURRENT MISSION

I have a nomadic spirit and only feel alive when I can be places I love... If I stand still... I die a little every day...

ABOUT ME

www.karlhaddad.org

PHILOSOPHY

I do not choose to be a common man. It is my
right to be uncommon if I can. I seek
opportunity, not security. I do not wish to
be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by
having the state look after me. I want to
take the calculated risk; to dream and to
build, to fail and to succeed. I prefer the
challenges of life to the guaranteed
existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the
stale calm of utopia.

I will not trade my freedom for beneficence,
nor my dignity for a handout. It is my
heritage to think and to act for myself,
enjoy the benefit of my creations, and to
face the world boldly and say: this I have
done.
