About Me

CURRENT MISSION

You never get a second chance to make a first impression

ABOUT ME

Anton Chehov once said that a normal human being should be entirely beautiful: the face, the clothes, the soul and the thoughts. I think I'm not successful in this matter but anyway I'm trying to change smth, join me! ;)

PHILOSOPHY

“Drink wine. This is life eternal. This is all that youth will give you. It is the season for wine, roses and drunken friends. Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.”
― عمر خیام, رباعيات خيام

Philosophical discussions are welcome!
