PHILOSOPHY

My motto: Don t regret anything for the past, enjoy the present, prepare the future.

Better die with defeats than dreams you never tried to reach // who never tries has already lost.

Never believe you are more clever than the one in front of you

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Spanish and French mostly, sorry.

Books: No idea of the English title. Ken Follet impresses me how he thoroughly looks for documentation about his subjects. If not him, many others. But I will read more when retired.

Movies: Dance with the wolfs, Rain Man,...
