About myself:
I love pragmatic and solution-oriented approaches; I believe that you are good in doing things that you enjoy – that’s why I let humour always be a part of me.
I am a 100% optimist and therefore recognise myself in the following quotation by Winston Churchill:
“An optimist sees an opportunity in every difficulty; a pessimist sees a difficulty in every opportunity.”
