My Approach to life

Explore

I’ve always believed that the most honest human emotion is curiosity. It’s the spark that pushed our species across oceans, down to the ocean floor, and out toward neighbouring planets. Curiosity is what nudges me forward, too. Toward new ideas, new skills, and occasionally into rabbit holes I never expected, but have always learnt from.

Create

Once curiosity points the way, creation gives it meaning. I’ve learned that waiting for the “perfect moment” is usually a trap; I’d rather build the moment myself. Creating space, opportunities, and momentum is how I turn questions into projects, and projects into something real.

Achieve

Achievement, to me, is the natural outcome of stubborn determination. I live by Thomas Jefferson’s line: “I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.” Effort, resilience, and a little strategic luck—those are the tools I lean on when I’m aiming high.
