1. What do you have that others don't?
Minimalism. Minimalism is more than just decluttering stuff. It's a way of living. Minimalism is enjoying more with having less. It's a state of choosing quality over quantity and not everyone is able to appreciate the value of something in their lives (whether it's a thought, a thing, or a relationship) because everyone appears to be wanting more than what they already have.
2. What is your most used superpower?
Clairvoyance
3. What activities do you enjoy the most?
Rock climbing, swimming, running, gym training, driving, hiking, traveling;
Reading books/articles, tinkering with gadgets, online shopping, writing, googling, music and photography
4. What would you do with 40 million dollars?
I’d keep 20 million in my pocket and allocate the other half; give it to charity, friends, and family, support fundraisers and non-profit organizations I believe in.
5. Name an instance wherein you demanded what you deserved?
I had so many instances where I became assertive in a situation like during my trip to Fiji. The country was a popular tourist destination and locals were very clever with tourists especially the taxi drivers. I always traveled on a budget; Unfortunately, Fiji did not make it any easier for me to do that. When I hopped in a cab and asked the driver to put the meter on, he said: “Oh, the meters broken just quite recently”. (I knew it was a scam because I reside in a third world country, I know how they play that game). Calmly I replied, “If this is going to cost me more than 20 bucks just to reach the town, I’m going to book a different taxi”. And then he said: “Oh, no, no, no! I’ll give it to you at 15fjd”. The town was just 10mins away from our destination, and other taxis would demand more than 50bucks from foreigners. Luckily, I escaped that kind of scam, and I still spent everything within budget!
