PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is simple:

~~Be positive~~Live in the present~~

It is easy to say and hard to put into practice. I am gifted at preserving the wonderful memories of my past and turns the bad ones into lessons that will help me to perform better in the future.
Acknowledging that a considerate chunk of my future is unknown, I try to be as flexible as I can in order to let life manifest its miracle. It is fine for me to have general guidelines in order to avoid living in a messy way, but going deeply into details is not my cup of tea because I believe in the following equation of happiness:
Happiness = Reality / expectations
Meaning minimizing our expectations will assure a minimum of happiness level.

~~Help others as much as I can~~

A genuine help should be kept secret this why I prefer not to detail this part !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~C.S~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is some quotes that really go along with my philosophy:

"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page."€ Augustine of Hippo

"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like." Lao Tzu

"Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind."Bruce Lee

Interests

I am the kind of person who really enjoy life by its ups and downs. As far as my world citizenship is concerned I am genuinely interested in meeting people from all over the globe to know better about their culture and their way of thinking. As soon as I graduated and got exposed to the cruelty of the 9 to 5 lifestyle, I am genuinely interested in entrepreneurship matters. This is why I dedicate a big portion of my time taking business online classes / Read motivational and business books. If you share the same interests as I do then we will have long chats !

  • reading
  • traveling
  • cycling
  • hitchhiking

Music, Movies, and Books

No special preferences. I am open for any kind of entertaining as far as it is linked to the local culture where am I.
___________
Musical tastes:

When I am at home I like listing to random music just to not feel alone. When I travel, it is a different story! My musical affiliation shift to local tunes of the visited area. Not only does music play an important role in shaping nation's identity but also it communicate history and local trends. Music is my time machine since it brings me back in time and help enjoy the vivid memories that I built while visiting a part of this world.
________________
Books&Movies tastes:

I really like reading or watching something that conveys a moral or teaches a lesson. here is my best of collection

Movies:
Pay it forward
God will hunting
Dead poets society
Django Unchained
Shutter Island
Inception
The wolf of wall-street
Documentaries
And the list goes on ...

Books:

*Davinci Code
*Angeles y Demonios
*El simbolo perdido

Well my kindle is full of business and Dan Brown books !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have done so far, is waking up from the mundane world which is really contaminated by excessive exploitation of materialistic objects.
I believe that having the opportunity to exchange with others, by narrating my story and listening to theirs in order to learn, is the most precious gift that I have ever got.

I had also the chance to cycle through Switzerland from Zurich to Geneva ! Met great people on the way and had great fun in my C02 free trip !

Been the only sober guy on a Boracay island between Christmas and new Year eve.

Teach, Learn, Share

Mainly exchange at different cultural levels.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Netherlands, Qatar, Spain, Switzerland, United States
