CURRENT MISSION
Maintain a healthy mind in a healthy body.

ABOUT ME
I practice sports, read books and travel a lot. I find everything interesting, so I am trying to learn all I can.
I want to experience everything this world has to offer.

I believe that everyone must have one target: to improve themselves, in mind, body, and soul. Nothing is off limits if we believe in ourselves, so stop wasting your time, and act!

I like meeting new people and have a nice time with them - from deep, philosophical conversations to crazy parties and everything in between.

PHILOSOPHY
To die everyday. To be born everyday. To refuse all that you own everyday. Be always uneasy, unhappy, unsettled. When a habit becomes convenient, crush it.
We have but one moment, let's transform this moment to eternity. There is no other immortality.

Love responsibility. Say: I, me alone have the duty to save the world. If it is not saved, it is my fault.
Dont ask: are we going to win? Are we going to lose? FIGHT!
Never recognize the borders of humanity! Break all borders! Refuse what you eyes see. Die saying: there is no death!

By Nikos Kazantzakis

-The things that didn't happen, are the things we didn't desire enough.
-Pain is temporary, victory is forever!
-Be strong enough to change what you can. Be patient enough to accept what you cannot change. Be wise enough to understand the difference.
-The greatest wealth is to be satisfied with few things.
-Be kind, because every person you meet is fighting a difficult battle.
-Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I travelled to many countries in a budget so I can give you travelling information :)
I know Greece especially well, having been almost everywhere (and I mean everywhere - it is not so big a country!), so if you plan to visit, just ask for advice!

I speak Chinese Mandarin, and practice is always something good, so I would like to practice with you if you are a native speaker.
