About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring India

ABOUT ME

I grew up multicultural as a Asian European mix and enjoy meeting people from all cultures. Another big interest of mine is neuroscience. The interest took me that last few years to Norway, US and Switzerland.
I'm now running my own hotel business.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't have one philosophy but there are some quotes that I collected because they made me think or just laugh :)

If the brain were simple enough for us to understand it, we would be too simple to understand it.

A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.

If you're too open-minded, your brains will fall out.

Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake
when you make it again.

To be or not to be. That's not really a question.

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like banana.

Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

The world is not dangerous because of those who do harm but because of those who look at it without doing anything.

Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.

Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.

I wish the first word i spoke were "quote". Then i could say "unquote" right before i die.

It pays to be obvious, especially if you have
a reputation for subtlety. -- Isaac Asimov

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

a couple of years ago i was in japan.
i climbed the fujisan up to the top at 4000 m. I heard that people here say everybody should climb it once in his life. But those that climb it twice are fools..
Well, it was a great experience. I climbed with friends during the night and enjoyed the sunrise from the mountain. Walking on the top felt like I imagine walking on another planet like the Mars due to the red colored sand and stones.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know about the brain, and programming :)
