About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To follow a course of action that promotes morality, wellness, freedom making at the same time my living more effective and vital one.

ABOUT ME

I am generally an optimistic and cheerful person who tries to live his life happily by valuing and enjoying the present. I know that, nowadays, being cheerful is quite difficult as most of us are preoccupied with our own problems. However, the only thing you accomplish when you let issues to hang on your head all the time, is to increase your stress and tension. I strongly believe that one of the best gifts you can give to other people around you and yourself is a smile.
A tangible example of an optimistic behaviour adoption when you have experienced a really bad day, is to say to yourself: f… that day and move on that it why the nature/god had the thoughtfulness to gives other days.

PHILOSOPHY

- It is better people to hate you by being yourself instead of loving you for something that you aren't.
- I am always dedicated to the present moment because someone gave me the power to control the present moment not the future one.
-Living a life of simplicity is a path that i always try to follow. It is not always good to overdo with simplicity but keep it in a balanced framework. So by saying simplicity many people may think the death,because as death approaches, the complexity of life collapses and everything seems quite simple. No i am definitely against that!!!
- Only when you meet someone from a different culture, you start realizing you real believes, thoughts and values.
