    A reply on Conversation: What have you learned as a result of your place (location) on this planet? Do we learn different lessons from different place?

    Aug 1 2012: I would mention a true story about a plane that crashed in the Argentine Andes in1972. Those who survived, learned about themselves in a hard way something that they did not know.
    In a more peaceful environment, I could say, that environment influences us in every way, there is reciprocity. Humans are like flowers. They do need sunlight, attention, communication, caring, nice word and some material things.

    A reply on Conversation: Cinderella syndrome

    Aug 1 2012: I think that in the root of this is the same thing – more successful you are, you are going to be simpler and more modest person. Nice persons revitalize and change the world!

    Aug 1 2012: In the fairytale, higher force solved the problem.
    In the real human world it would be time and persistence.

    A comment on Talk: Michael Hansmeyer: Building unimaginable shapes

    Jul 27 2012: Just to think:
    - Gaudi did not need computer to create unique and “unimaginable shapes”
    - nobody knows what makes great art, but I think that imperfection is a great part of it. I agree that computer can make imperfect forms, but somehow we recognize them
    - if I am to chose a form made by a computer, or an artist, I would infallibly know which one is made by machine. I would chose Gaudi!

    A comment on Conversation: What advice would you give a younger you?

    Jul 23 2012: Casen Askew, I can say that you are very aware young man.
    When I was 18, I was not thinking about possible mistakes I can make.
    I thought that I have all the time, and that I am here forever.
    Now, that life has thought me that it is not so, I only can say: maybe you'll be wiser after this conversation, and bring it into your future.

    A comment on Conversation: How will you spend your time and/or make a living between ages 60 and 100?

    Jul 23 2012: I shall be wiser, wasting less my precious time. That's crucial.
    I think going to school is also appropriate, grey cells are practicing.
    That's healthy.
    So, don't worry, be happy:)))

  • A comment on Conversation: Do you have a Facebook account? If yes, why? If no, why not?

    Jul 23 2012: You are right. We are addicted to totally unnecessary things.
    Me too. But I do not like to be monitored, observed, judged, by others.
    Humans need privacy.
    If we do not have privacy, that's stripping.
    Ancient Romans did a poo together while having conversation.
    Egyptians had public sex.
    Nowadays we have it too.
    So what is evolution, only technology, different means, but psychologically same urge behind it.
    And somebody made a fortune from human weakness.

    A comment on Conversation: What advice would you give a younger you?

    Jul 23 2012: My dearest,
    I am writing you this letter, regarding your future life.
    First, you have to know that life is hard, very hard. There some unpredictable events, that are horrifying and that you can not prevent. Life is trampling over you, it doesn’t ask.
    But you have to know to recognize a moment, when you have to react. Grab it! Do not be afraid. Listen to your heart at all times. If somebody steps on your toes, do what you think is the most appropriate. Sometimes it is good to fight back! But, at all times try to be polite, it is the only way to succeed in your chosen field.
    Be brave. Take care of your body as well your soul.
    At all times, try to take care about your friends and all those close to you.
    To those that disappoint you, forgive, but do not forget.
    And finally, smile. Life is precious unique gift we were given by some mysterious reason.
    There will be no replay!
