About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do something different every day just not to become bored (also want to become superhuman)

ABOUT ME

A man is known by the books he reads.

Imagination is more important than knowledge (A.Einstein)
When the dawes of perception are cleansed, things will appear to man as they truly are...infinite (The Doors)
Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast (L.Carroll)
The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his action (Confucius)

PHILOSOPHY

A man in a search of hapiness. I try to discover and learn from friends, live with open eyes

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

These is no particular one amazing thing, but many!
Year ago I had an amazing trek to Himalaya (Everest Base Camp route). When I returned back to Moscow, I bacame a different person. I had energy for 10 people, thoughts and intensions for other 10 people.
Then was semi-marathon in Paris (21 km). I prepared for it for 2 months and it was really good!
This NY I was in Australia - that is truly a country of untouched nature: plants, crocodiles, snakes, underwater world - i've seen it! We also had an autocrash, fire on Tasmania, sleeping near the ocean
