I'm 34 years old and I still have no idea who I am -- so how can I tell "all about myself". Let me just say that there are just a few things I adore most: speaking and listening. Getting to know someone new and learning something new. Putting order somewhere where there has been chaos. Explaining and introducing new concepts, finding a system in unconnected facts.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. The conflicts start because both sides don't want to listen. In any situation there is a win-win solution for all sides. All the world is a text and we are mere readers.

Interests
