I'm a cosmopolitan who traveled the world enjoying life by living my dreams

PHILOSOPHY

The journey is the reward
(Taoism)

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity

Life without liberty is like a body without spirit

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Knowledge of the self is the mother of all knowledge. So it is incumbent on me to know my self, to know it completely, to know its minutiae, its characteristics, its subtleties, and its very atoms

Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.

(all quotes by Khalil Gibran)
