About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Khalil Gibran: To understand the heart and the mind of the people, do not look on, what they have reached, but what they are longing for. Hospitality, friendliness and love are the only things, which becomes more, when you waste them.

ABOUT ME

active fun and happiness ...... always improving ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

Leo Tolstoi: Without love you are able to chop wood, to shape bricks and to forge iron.
But it is impossible to get along with people without love.
