More About Me

I'm passionate about

Making a difference on people's lives. I believe our existence is more than physical body and materialism. We are all born to serve so we need to discover our talents to find out how to serve

An idea worth spreading

How we can help people ? Have you ever thought what you consistently do daily to make a difference? and how do you think you could go an extra mile ?.Maybe this is all it takes for us to make a better tomorrow.

Talk to me about

Anything worth sharing, either because bothers you somehow and you need help or because it will make people smile.

People don't know that I'm good at

not sure, if people do not know, maybe it is because i am not really good at...

  • A comment on Conversation: Can we reduce unhappiness and dissatisfaction by being aware of how doubts over having made the right choice affects us?

    Oct 15 2011: For me hapiness is not about the choice, it is about the satisfaction conquered as result of the lived experience..It is always easier for people to blame the choice instead of looking deeper within to reveal the real answer for a not positive outcome

  • A comment on Conversation: How can we create an âideal worldâ beyond considering it as a utopian concept?

    Oct 15 2011: Hi, yes it might be somehow utopian but every project in the end brings a conversion rate or a measured % so in this case whatever would be the result, it would be automatically defined as an achievement and the world would be better than it is today. My deepest belief is based on the concept that we must invest on people's education to become a better human being. It might be a big task but it has a snowball effect and if you are able to bring awareness and consciousness to one person you might be helping a couple more than the line. Keep pursuing your idea, you might not know but you probably have already impacted somebody.

  • A comment on Conversation: How can one person make a 1% contribution to the world?

    Oct 15 2011: Hi Igor, If you are able to make a difference in one person's life; you have already made a difference.If everyone would think like you; i am certain we all would live in a better place. For a while i questioned myself about the same and I realized that helping people around you is a powerful start.You are just not helping and supporting people that you love but you are also getting your own self ready for bigger challenges that often are emotional demanding.You might want to search if in your community,there are charities, causes or volunteer work that you can participate and maybe you can engage a couple of friends too..You can check out this website that gives you different links to charities and causes: http://www.nextgoodthing.com/Default.aspx?pageId=1141908 Good Luck and stay strong on your goal!

  • A comment on Conversation: TED Speaker Julian Treasure: What would a conscious listening world be like â and how do we get there?

    Oct 14 2011: Not sure if we should see this as only about noise and listening by its meaning as a word. In my view, it is about mind switch, change of perception and behavior. We all can hear when our brains get the signals and when our heart pay attention then we can get the message! The heart whispers and sometimes this is the listening skill we miss the most.

  • A comment on Conversation: What is the next big thing?

    Oct 14 2011: I think all the technology and science developments are just entertainment for our curiosity and to keep our brains and well being in check as civilization. For me, when people with influence towards others are able to find out about their true calling and take action on it;we will find out what the next good and big thing really is! We will be walking towards the human kind evolution, nothing can be bigger than that
