About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to grow

ABOUT ME

If you know anything about Briggs-Meyers, then I am a INTP-INFP.
But to avoid acronyms, let's just say that I believe in letting people be what they are, avoiding anger, tolerance, humanity and enjoying life to the fullest. Also I am a geek and proud of it.

PHILOSOPHY

Epicurean philosophy is quite close to my heart. (It doesn't mean egotism - if I cause harm to other people, that would make me feel bad, wouldn't it? And therefore it is better to be kind to others.)
