________________ ENAXXAR FROM THE AUTHOR It was my strong desire since childhood to achieve the best in life; something unprecedental and eternal, no matter how difficult it maybe. After achieving that, there will not be any desire to get anything else, because that achievement will be the greatest and the best in the world. This attitude and effort continued throughout the life. This desire started taking a hazy shape at the age of 7 to 8 years but became clear at the age of 14 to 15.
