Griffith University and the University of Queensland in beautiful Australia set the parameters of my academic work in politics, international relations and finance.
Life experience, learning by doing, hands-on mentality and an open mind for looking beyond the horizon and the imaginable characterize my personality.
Moreover, I am a winning and forward looking personality who continuously strives for personal improvement in all areas of life. My long term vision creates the motivation, my inner voice leads the way.
Success is a journey, not a destination - let's make it happen!!!
Attitude
'Always look into the light and you will not see the shadows'
Look for the gifts in everything, especially when you are facing what appears to be a negative situation. Everything that we attract causes us to grow, which means that ultimately everything is for our own good.
Adjusting to a new path and a new direction will require new qualities and strengths, and these qualities are always exactly what we need to acquire in order to accomplish the great things ahead in our life.
Challenge
'For many people the way ends at the first obstacle.
For the successful this is just the start of the way.'
Self-Confidence
'Act like you belong, no matter where you are. When you go through life with self-confidence, and by self-confidence I mean a quiet assurance that you belong in the room - people will be attracted to you. They will want to spend time with you. They will want to be part of your 'network'.'
Fascination
'You can only discover new things
when you leave behind
what you are used to'
Freedom
'We are always free to decide in favour of the positive'
Teamwork
'Coming togehter is a beginning.
Staying togehter is a step forward.
Working together ultimately brings success.'
Vision
'We cannot command the wind, but we can always reset our sails'
However...
To finish off, here some beautiful words once written by Stephen Kroschel:
'Some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no millince, hours or days. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten will pass to someone else. Your wealth, fame and temporary power will shrivel to irrelevance. It won't matter what you owned or owed. Your grudges, resentments, frustrations and cealusies will finally disappear, so too your hopes and ambitions. Plans in due less will expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away. It won't matter where you came from or on what side of the tracks you lived in the end. Even your gender and skin colour will be irrelevant.'
So what will matter? How will your days be valued or measured?
'What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built. Not what you got, but what you gave. What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught. What will matter is every active integrity, compassion, courage and sacrifice that enriched and empowered and encouraged others to emulate your example. What will matter is not your competence, but your character. What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel your lasting loss when you are gone. What will matter is not your memories, but the memories that live on in those who loved you. What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by who and for what. A life lived significantly is not one of circumstance as much as it was of unfailing dedication of choice. A life that touched and cured a dying and suffering humanity, then and now....'
