I left the window to my S.O.U.L. slightly opened, so you could take a look and read a few things About Me. Each letter represents a word. Each word represents a part of me. The 1st represents my way of thinking, the 2nd my outlook on life, the 3rd my value and the 4th my passion.

Simplicity–I am fond of simplicity because of the following plain reasons: I have found the best solutions to a problem when I had simplified it. The happiest moments in my life were when I was just around my family, my friends or people I love. I have succeeded only when I put my heart and my soul into what I have been doing. The nature itself and its beauty captivate me as if I were a child. There's no secret to balance, you just have to feel the waves. The greatest heroes are those ordinary people that help others on a regular basis. Concluding, I believe happiness, success and balance – which we all seek - are hidden in simple things.

Optimism - The glass is half full; since the half is full of water and the other half full of oxygen. Furthermore, the oxygen is the most important element for keeping us alive, certainly more important than water. For those who insist that the glass is half empty, the news is still great because this way there is room for “opportunities”. Add some lemon slices and sugar and make a glass full of lemonade. And last but not least do not forget to tell the world your great idea, share your enthusiasm, give your smile, convey your positive attitude and transmit your optimism!

Unity–If we stay united around a common goal we do wonders in all areas of our lives. We change roles being children, spouses, parents, friends, professionals, members of the society and so on. All these roles are determined by our relationship with others. So, what can be most valuable than the human relationship and the bond of unity between individuals? I strongly believe that the change of interdependence, interaction, solidarity and unity leads to great achievements.

Learning–Once I was asked “If a genie appeared in front of you and gave you 3 wishes, what would they be?” I answered that one of them would be: Much Knowledge, so that I could share it with people helping them with my advice. But since, the genie has not appeared yet I have no other options but gain knowledge through reading, asking and watching, a never ending story.It turns out that this way is much more exciting.
