Describing myself in a few words represents the most difficult thing for me. But I will summarize it with one word: optimistic. I’m optimistic about the weather, money, my family, my friends, and the future…in short about almost everything!
Some people are scared about the future. Why so? A crisis is a crisis, true. But a crisis is always followed by a growth. Without a crisis, growth cannot exist. They are interrelated. There is always a need for a crisis in order to clear things up and to fix the growth’s damages. A crisis is actually not always bad... It can be good for some companies and investors. These guys who profit from the crisis are indeed often called “opportunists” or “optimists”! I’m one of them! I’m not scared about the future’s uncertainty; I know that it will be fine! One needs to go down in order to reach higher. Isn’t that right? Perhaps some businesses will fall but others will survive and some others will emerge. I will never say that the future can be perfect... but sooner or later it will be so!
I’m optimistic about my future because I know myself well. I do not oversell myself or embellish my capabilities because I know what I am worth.

Finance. I love finance! I love studying companies, spending hours reading websites and articles about a company. What I love in finance is the fact that it is related to all the subjects present in our societies, including economy, real-estate, currency, politics, history, geography even sports or music and many more! Not only do these varieties of subjects make finance an amazing topic, but they also make it uncertain, as well as difficult to understand and predict. Isn’t that the true magic of finance?

Traveling. «Once you pop, you can’t stop» this also works with traveling! Traveling makes me feel real. It seems that every unrealistic idea can become reality. Traveling has helped me become an adult and continues to participate in my personal growth. I believe it helps one open one’s mind, think outside of the box and discover new cultures, new people...hence, new ways of life! Traveling has always tended to give me ideas about new businesses, as well as to accentuate my already deeply-rooted optimism!
