CURRENT MISSION

Today is even better than yesterday :)

ABOUT ME

• I am, let's say mostly, a happy person but, of course, not always peaceful enough.
• Believe that I have a positive energy. (At least people around me say so.)
• Love to rumble around the city and be lost in the narrow streets.
• Love to explore new places (mostly nice cafes, restaurants, vista points, forgotten historical structures or at least some peaceful areas)
• Love to talk about life. Sometimes I don’t understand what I say, or what my company says and that makes me love this conversation more and more. I love to talk with people who inspire me and whom I inspire.
• I consider myself as an open-minded person and I train myself about this by meeting new people, gaining new experiences and rambling on new places.
• I like to be solo from time to time, and I often do it to listen to my innerself and learn more about it. I believe that traveling solo is one of the greatest ways to learn about myself, however I did it just once for such a short time in Thailand. I did learn from it, and felt a lot of weird feelings.
• Needless to say, I love human-being. I am still surprised and amused (and definitely I always keep being surprised and amused) to see how one person can impress another one with one movement, with a body gesture, or just by being existed. And there are more than 7 billion people in the world. WOoWwWww!!!
• I live within some "rules and norms of the society" (like almost all of us) although I don’t like most of them. At least I am happy to be aware of those norms and I appreciate people who manage to live out of them.

PHILOSOPHY

• Believe HAPPINESS is the ultimate goal. I try to find the ways to reach the happiness starting from myself.
• I generally see the good part of many things, although I sometimes fail cause I am a human being.
• I believe that relationships are one of the most important things in life. That's why, I generally think about my relationships and about how to improve them if possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

There is an photograph of the Earth, PALE BLUE DOT, made by Voyager 1 from record distance. Everybody has to see it, and read the speech by Carl Sagan inspired of this photo. Then we can understand that we as humans are really ruining our little dot, and we have to stop it. People have to remember that we borrowed our all atoms from this dot just for a while, and we can maku use of this opportunity in a different way.
