About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to figure out my mission...:]

ABOUT ME

I'm hiper!:D
The level of my energy is probably above the limit considered to be "normal";)...but who cares for "the norms"?!;) Everything is relative anyway...

I like to observe (especially people and their behaviour)and to analyse...to overthink things...to make plans for the future...to challenge myself...and to achieve my goals!:)

And if you've read H.Ibsen's "The Wild Duck"...I'm dr Relling ;P:D

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is not measured by the numbers of breaths we take, but by the moments that take out breath away..."

IQ of the crowd equals the IQ of it's most stupid representant divided by the number of it's participants.

Killing time is not so much murder, as suicide...

"Sport teaches how to win with pride and how to loose with honour" [E.Hemingway]

"Cowardice, as distinguished from panic, is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend the functioning of the imagination." [E.Hemingway]

A smooth sea never made a skilled mariner.

Better to regret things you have done, than the things you haven't done.

A wise man changes his mind, a fool never.

A test of good manners is being able to put up with the bad ones.

"To annihilate the world by annihilation of one's self is the deluded height of desperate egoism. The simple way out of all the little brick dead ends we scratch our nails against.... I want to kill myself, to escape from responsibility, to crawl back abjectly into the womb..." [quoted after: Sylvia Plath]

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Flying alone to USA when I was just 13 years old, spending there 1,5 months(although I didn't know anyone there before my arrival..But the adventure was fantastic!:)
-Climbing on Monte Rosa massif (approx.4000mt a.s.l.) in my summer shorts..(well, I didn't expect snow in the middle of the summer;P) Brrrrr!;)
-Trekking thru Cala Goloritze (Sardegna)in July-heat (40 degrees Celsius)wearing the Japanese clappers on such a steepy, rocky mountain trail!
-Playing capoeira in the middle of the cold rainy night on the backstreet behind some salsa club in Dublin with one crazy, sexy Brasilian guy...;))

Teach, Learn, Share

Practically, I can teach You how to skate on ice! (including jumps and spins:D)
But I would like also to teach people what I've learnt from my italian and brasilian friends: 1)relax and don't worry so much about the problems occurring 2)respect other people and tolerate them even if they are extremely opposite to you.
I should share with others my excessive energy as well ;):)
