First of all I am curious. Everything I know is out of curiosity. I am interested in the most different subjects, as you can see from this website.
I trust Google and I know it has all the answers! You just need to ask..
I let nothing stop me and I learn from every experience. I believe working in teams brings out the best in each other and empowers us with shared knowledge.
They say I have an
INTJ-A
personality, and I do believe they're right.
