The biggest or most important fight you had in your life?
Standing up for myself, setting boundaries, falling down 99 times, standing up 100 times!
Aren’t we all a mix of shadows and lights? What are yours?
Sure am, but don’t forget - there is never a shadow without light, no happiness without pain, so ‘the other side’ is not necessarily a bad thing.
The moment you reveal your strength the more vividly?
I think true strength comes from being soft. It sounds very cliché but softness gives you the agility to master everything. Think of water and stones - water can wash mountains away over time.
Everyone has a conviction, a statement guiding our path, what is yours?
Everything you need is within you.
Mind Upload is the beginning of our heroine’s story. If you could augment yourself, what personal abilities would you expand?
I would love to be a superfast learner.
Encountering a magic wand, how do you redesign your future and ours, do you even use it?
I am excited for the future but I would not want to see ahead - I don’t want to miss out on the journey forward.
Never renounce to: What would you say to your best friend or child?
Pleasures in life! To quote Emily in Paris: Who are we in life without pleasures? Germans!
The best…
My self-development and continuous journey to becoming a better human being.
