ABOUT ME
No matter what I wish for, no matter how far I go, I can never be anything but myself. That's all.
PHILOSOPHY
Is it possible, in the final analysis, for one human being to achieve perfect understanding of another?
We can invest enormous time and energy in serious efforts to know another person, but in the end, how close can we come to that person's essence? We convince ourselves that we know the other person well, but do we really know anything important about anyone?"
— Haruki Murakami (The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My trip to United States when I was 17. That was the first time after 7 years when I sow my mum and brothers.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach. To be honest, I don't think that I am a very good teacher. But I always try to listen others intently and when I think that they need - inspire them and give them an advice.
Learn. I would like to learn how to be a better person and become more patient.
Share. A smile, honesty, sincerity and a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows in winter, or a glass of good red wine.
