I'm passionate about

Life as it is because that is what makes it possible for me to enjoy, explore, avoid, hesitate, cry, accept, and be satisfied with It as it is.

An idea worth spreading

festina lente! It is impossible to do something slowly and rapidly. I am trying to create my life journey with these two contradictory principles. Why? Life is substantially contradictory, isn't it?

The TED story

I came to know TED as a way to learn English. However, my first step into it led me to a different road where I met a lot of people with a lot of different perspectives on life. Listening helps me understand life in depth and width more and more.

Things you might not know

I am long on swimming, soccer, and reading books. Life is only one-time; so it is useless to spend a precious period of time to compare and contrast. The only mission is to enjoy it in full.
