About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to meet interesting people, with different backgrounds, life experience

ABOUT ME

I love people :), nature, animals.
Also I like very much doing sport, dancing, doing social activities, reading books, watching interesting movies, to meet new people;
sometimes you may find me speaking with strangers on the street (I love to speak sometimes) :), to be the "central" guy at the party :) and sometime I may sit somewhere in a quite corner quietly enjoying myself or speaking with someone on philosophical ..or may be just regular topics.
So I can say that I'm, as we are all ;), many sided.

PHILOSOPHY

"hurry to do a good deeds" (c) citation of the "holy" doctor of Moscow, F.Haass
"do not judge, first try to understand"
"different cultures give different answers to main questions, there is no one right..and never be..do not try to convince anyone that your answer is better, try to understand each one...and find YOUR answer.. may be it'll be a proper answer for some period of time... then continue searching"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

my friends from Israel spontaneously came to visit me on a new year day...we rented a car..each day we had no idea what we will do next day and where will sleep..so we drived to different countries, met new people...it was unforgettable.

Also I did last year a project with kids - thought them mathematics...but I tried to teach them things above mathematics..also I had a couple of ideas of how to make their spending time at school to be more confortable - we created together with them "game corner", by voting we decided what games we should buy ..and then each kid could take to his home some game, which not always his parents could afford..and then give it back. It was very cool, I'm still in touch with the kids.
