ABOUT ME

It's hard to squeeze my whole life in short description I am supposed to write here. I am person with many facets, inquisitive by nature, open-minded by heart, tolerant to many imperfections of this world and yet striving for self-improvement. Learning is a part of me. Thirst for new emotions, new sensations, new experiences is impossible to quench.
I try to live my life up. Every day is unique and is not to be wasted. Our days are counted. I was impressed once by S.Jobs Stanford speech. Those words follow me wherever I go.
I like traveling...
I believe the most beautiful places are still to come..

PHILOSOPHY

Do not wait till you finish institute, do not wait when your children will be born.

Stop waiting the moment you start working, the moment you retire, marry someone, divorce. Do not wait for Friday evening, Sunday morning, buying a new car, new apartment. Do not wait for spring, summer, autumn, winter.

Moments of happiness are precious, it's not the end point of the trip, but the journey itself. Work but not just for the money, love but not in anticipation of parting. Dance without paying attention to the views.

The worst mistake you can make in your life is a lifetime chasing the purposes without noticing the life which passes you by...

The most amazing thing I've ever seen so far was the sunset in Venice at San Marco square. Surrounded by candles I was sitting in nice restaurant listening to the thrilling play of the violin. Some couples were dancing waltz in the glimmering light and the air was filled with music. One of the best sensations in my life...
