About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live with passion and explore the world with ethusiasm

ABOUT ME

I am kind, gentle, polite and brave. I love humour, fun, and listening to jokes.
I do self-analyze and take sincere criticism well other than prejudice or bias
I love beer and wine though I actually do not drink very often.
I have a job that I love and get to deal with many people on a daily bases, my friends judge me as an extrovert but I do require some "quiet space" to talk with myself.

PHILOSOPHY

Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.

- Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister
