Three things people don’t know about you?

There are more than three things people don’t know about me. And that’s the beauty of life. Knowing is boring.

What’s your greatest fear?

The simple effortless way of life of the last century is lost forever. The noise in the streets and in our living rooms seem to stay for a long time.

What is your greatest achievement?

With the kind of world leaders we have today, having dreams for tomorrow.

Not choosing my life over the loved ones who depended on me.

Realization that all the people you meet and welcome into your life are not meant to be taken seriously.

Your epitaph would read? /Last line in your biography would be?

I knew tomorrow was a gift and not a geographical event.
