Me :)

I believe that life is learning, I believe in big ideas and high goals, accepting challenges and constantly pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, I believe in persistence and really-really hard work - because that's what it takes to become "Pro" in whatever you do. And I believe that if you are not moving forwards, you are moving backwards.

As Henry Ford once said, "Whether you think you can or you can't - either way you're right", and this is my motto in life. Anything is possible, I believe, those things that seem to be impossible just usually take a bit more time (and work, of course!) to accomplish! :)
