**** PHILOSOPHY ****

"Doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity"

"Helping who want to be helped"

"It is more difficult to answer what do I want than how can I have it"

"Paint what you want and have what you paint"

Getting my diploma: "Oh crap! I have to get a job now!" :S
