About Me
I’m open-minded, engaged in life, adaptable, humorous, outgoing and adventurous. My fundamental life principles:
“The mind is everything. What you think you become.” – Buddha
“The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.” – Arthur C. Clarke
“Many of life’s failures are experienced by people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” – Thomas Edison
To my mind, leisure time shouldn’t be a chance to veg out. Actually, some joyful hobbies can refresh people more than simply lying around and doing nothing. I am keen to share my favourite pastimes.
First of all, yoga is included in my daily routine because it builds my discipline and focus, improves my health and helps me to stay cool, calm and collected.
Next, it’s great to hang around with my friends and family. I always welcome opportunities to get to know a new person or discover the hidden treasures in the people I already know.
Working with my hands brings me needed fulfilment and satisfaction. I love gardening, cooking and crafting.
All in all, hobbies make my life more well-rounded, so I’m always ready to learn some new valuable skills.
