About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I want to wake up every morning....and make the world a better place.
ABOUT ME
I' m a well-traveled young man, I left several times my home county in order to gain international experience. In 2009, I studied Engineering in Toulouse (France) where I really enjoyed the. From that moment, I'm always looking for more international experience. Next, I took a language course in Oxford for one month. In July and August of 2010, I spend my summer in Humahauca, a small village in Argentina, where I designed and constructed a biogas installation together with the local people. This year, I came to Canada to perform an internship in the multinational corporation, AGFA Inc.
I grew up in a small town in Belgium, Mechelen. I'm very eager to learn new languages.
I'm a master student from the Antwerp Management School. At the moment, I'm in Canada for my Internship and hope to meet new people in order to grab some cultural experiences.
PHILOSOPHY
I want to wake up every day to make the world a better place...
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them – work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air.
You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.
But the other four Balls – Family, Health, Friends and Spirit – are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.
