More About Me

I'm passionate about

Science, technology, education, books, music and human rights.

An idea worth spreading

For societies to progress and be peaceful, ALL people, must have the unalienable right to a dignified living be it through a decent education, work and workplace, salary, and a sense of self worth that allows people to be equally important, be it a janitor, a teacher, a CEO or the president. As a society we are all important, we all have a place to fill, the whole world wouldn't run if we all were doctors or lawyers or popstars. Respect, tolerance and appreciation of each other's role in society is key to achieve harmony.

• A comment on Talk: Shane Koyczan: "To This Day" ... for the bullied and beautiful

  Mar 9 2013: "We are not what we are being called" So powerful, so true, to this day I feel my adult life has been shaped by what I was called and by what I thought of myself. Sometimes the biggest bully can be yourself. Acceptance and self-appreciation are things that stay out of the curricula but that should be cared for. So powerful. So true.
