CURRENT MISSION

Life is a creation, not a discovery.

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy-going man being very interested in this world, in its people as well as in other cultures. I'm open-minded and respectful to fellow men; thus I love to have interesting discussions about any topic. Thousands of things arouse my interest. Be it a plane flying by above me, be it a flower that has broken through the pavement, be it a politician who refreshingly admits weaknesses. There's always something interesting to focus on, right?

PHILOSOPHY

diplomacy, equal human rights, realizing the value of a human being, keeping interested in this world, a good sense of humour
