About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To discover happiness... seriously.

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm JP and I'm happy. As in I love life and make an effort to smile. What I do : I love to learn, teach, eat and drink, play (so much), be productive, care, love, listen and converse.

What ever I do, I try to do it well. I'm very open minded and the product of my awesome parents. I'm definitely a nerd (love Tintin, the smurfs and lego). I love what I do for work, I started a company a couple years back called Wackywave Labs. We build Apps :D

Oh, and I travel as often as I can.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is a way of life. It's something you need to find within yourself, not something you'll find elsewhere.

If there is something that bothers you about someone else it's often because that same thing bothers you about yourself. Don't believe? Think about it carefully.

Learning from and teaching others makes the world go around. Think about it.

You are what you make of yourself.

I'll respect you if you respect me. (for emphasis)

I guess this all sounds a little cliché, but I believe in it.
