About Me

My photo
I'm a person that has an active mind and shows an unfeigned interest in the world around me. I'm egoistical and ambitious, almost to the point of megalomania, and will stop at nothing to get what I want. Honestly I enjoy being the centre of attention. If my friend faces a problem or dilemma I will be there to offer help, and when others leave the field of battle the I makes a step forward to solve the problem with dignity. I set the high standard of actions for myself as well as for other people and are surprised when others cannot cope with a task; I'm so carried away by the process that fail to see other people's weaknesses. I can be quick-tempered and obstinate, and sometimes too outspoken, but there is usually good advice in my criticisms or suggestions. I believe my vibrant, positive attitude is irreplaceable to have around and one can always count on me to support my friends unequivocally in times of need =P

Willing to take risks!

Sometimes we need to take a risk in order to know our limits and bring some changes into our life. Growth could be painful sometimes but growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from the known to the unknown. I took risks by moving to USA and things have come out against me once again. However, I believe that God always guides me wherever I go so I'm 100% sure I would be fine. We have to take risks because we will only understand the miracle of life when we allow unexpected to happen. I still remember my coach said that without challenge people cannot reach their higher selves and only if we're willing to walk over the edge can we become winners. Every times I got angry because of my stupid mistakes, my mother used to say if you're not making mistakes, you're not taking risks, and that means you're not going anywhere. Those words make me feel better. Moreover, the person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love and live. Anyway, I really like this quote:

"To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing."
