One of my favorite quotes: "Most people are so absorbed in the contemplation of the outside world that they are unaware of what is happening in themselves." - Nikola Tesla The path of Self-Actualization is a tricky one because it demands an extensive journey at the center of our heart. It is also the most rewarding one when we succeed to set our ego in the passenger seat and to accept that we are all the sum of everything we meet. Of course, this is not an easy path, and it can get stressful and frustrating at times, especially when it comes to Business. I can't count the number of times someone told me that I was crazy to do what I am doing. However, I have discovered that when you accept it, and you keep the right mindset and good partners, it becomes the most meaningful path to live for. Technical stuff about me; - I am a self-taught Polymath who believes in the Unity of Science and Spirituality in a non-dogmatic way. I left school after several tests, but since then, I have taken many courses in different fields, and I read a lot about everything. You can engage in conversation with me about any subject, and you will find real interest from me. My mission is to find ways to empower people with technology so they can have more time to grow as a human. Yes, I can talk about cooking, high-level physics, or disruptive technology such as Blockchain, Ai with the same level of bewitchment if you are passionate about your subject. I am not an expert but I am very talented to connect the dots and build a network of like-minded persons who can help me finish the puzzle.
