About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy the most we can get from our life... to quote somebody much more wise: to find who and what in hell is not hell, and let it grow and give it space!

ABOUT ME

I am easy going, usually I don't judge anyone, and I am not too much picky... just I like enjoying my time, taking everything the easiest way possible (but not foolishly easy). I love meeting new people and having new experiences... who doesn't. I'm fascinated by the foreign cultures and I love the japanese culture... also because I've been doing aikido for 11 years now...
And I always think that the best is yet to come! :)

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to do new things, to have new experience... to learn...
When Socrates was about to be poisoned by the Athen's people he was learning to play the flute and they asked him: "Why do you bother learning playing the flute few hours before dying?". His answer was: "To learn to play the flute before dying." So that's it... let's try to take the most out of our life!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a fully rounded rainbow :)... and I've seen hundreds of small children doing Aikido in the central japanese dojo... oh and a child eating some corn on a finland beach... she was so cute!
I saw the beautiful sea in Cozumel, and I saw a mayan family, and true poverty, and true richness.

Amazing things done... well... riding on the motorbike along the seaside in an early summer day, while the sky was getting painted in red...

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
