with people that don’t look like us, that
don’t come from our neighborhood.” Emad
is a Muslim so he prays five times a day. He
tries to eat healthy and he works out at least
an hour a day. He says when he is frustrated and upset at the world, he spends time
with his two daughters. “
Sometimes in order to refresh we have to
get outside of the business way of thinking. We have to step outside of that and do
something totally different.” He says the key
to balancing a busy career and family is to
make sure you include your family in your
schedule. Rahim says he includes his wife
in the things he is doing and avails himself
to support her in what she is doing. He also
makes sure he is communicating and trying
to involve people in his circles to help him
manage his time. It is quite easy to get in
touch with Emad. He is on LinkedIn, Twitter
and Facebook. He says he is very approachable and will respond to someone who
sends him a tweet.
In conclusion, Emad says, “Regardless of all
of our challenges in life… we can’t constantly think about the past, we can’t change
the past, but we can look at how the past
shaped us as a person, how it impacted us
as a person, how it changed us for the better.
It made us think different, it made us act
different. And if we can do that and appreciate that and kind of look forward on how
to take advantage of those …experiences
we will become a better person.”
