About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm enjoying life. Maybe partying a bit too much if you ask my friends. But still holding on.
I love to make a complete ass out of myself but I enjoy it even more when other people join me on this mission :-)

PHILOSOPHY

A personal philosophy is not something I can just write down in a "text box". If someone wants to have deep discussions, come have a drink in Utrecht.
But then again if you DONT want to have deep discussions, but just a lot of fun,... come have a drink in Utrecht! :-)

But some general (not nessecarily philosophical) guidelines I tend to live by are:

Life is too short to waste on complaining, so don't.

Try to get lost at least once in every place you visit. There is no better way of getting to know a city and its locals.

Try to see an opportunity in every difficulty instead of the other way around

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. — Gandhi

An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field. ~Niels Bohr
(I'm trying hard at the last one, so far I'm doing a great job making mistakes :-)
