Entrevista

• Conte-nos sobre a melhor experiência que você teve na vida.
  My time as an undergraduate student at a small college in Massachusetts was really great. I played soccer for the team and did really well, I worked in the off season at two great restaurants, and although I don’t believe that money made me happy, because I made a lot of money doing what I was doing, the job and my success in the classroom and the freedom from financial stress that I became accustomed to made life serene. I had good friends and I have a great routine that last for four years. At the age of 30 is when life became almost unmanageable. And at 34 I was finally struck with the harsh reality of what it’s like to be poor and tontrukybstruggle to survive without the safety net that my parents always kept underneath me. Now I wouldn’t necessarily starve if it got horrible here in nyc. But purposefully dostanceig myself from my family to gain true independence has been harder than living in a shelter for instance. It sucks trying to survive on ones own. Hopefully I’m learning. Time will tell
• O que você diria que são suas maiores qualidades e especialidades?
  I highly value my intellect, which I believe drives a large part of my personality. I think that my unwavering belief in the positivity of the human spirit is something that I value highly. People are not bad people on purpose. Very rarely is someone just flat out bad. More often than not people are just reacting to life circumstances the best way they can, and sometimes that reaction isn’t the greatest choice. However, that doesn’t mean someone is bad. So I try to look at everything from perspectives that account for more than just my viewpoint.
• Com que frequência você viaja? Você prefere viajar ou você é mais um casero?
  Unfortunately, my ability to travel has always been hindered by certain life circumstances. I was in school for so long completing the requirements for my degrees that I never had the time, nor the money, to travel more than once maybe twice a year if I was lucky. Since graduating it’s been challenging to travel m, again because of financial constraints. Paying back loans and the other bills required to live independently has kept me living paycheck to paycheck. Even with supplemental income from the hospitality industry, I’ve always found it hard to find the time and the money to go places. Which I’d love to do. I love watching people and the best way to do so is when traveling. Hopefully one day soon I’ll be able to take some time and travel more often.
• O que o distingue de todas as outras pessoas que você conhece?
  My intensity and passion are distinguishing features. Some may find it overwhelming, but even those that do are better able to understand that it’s a part of my personality and is usually a great feature because it is contagious and fosters a force thirst for life in those I meet.
• Como você dá o melhor na sua vida?
  I’m naturally inclined to do everything I do to the best of my abilities. I feel that giving anything less is pointless. But I’m not upset if I’m not the best.
• Quais são seus hobbies, o que você gosta de fazer em seu tempo livre?
  In addition to researching and educating myself I’m an avid soccer player, alpine skier, and outdoorsman. The latter being a slightly less passionate activity, but anything to do outdoors is cool with me. Also, I love food and eating is something that excites me.
• O que você faz para se divertir?
  I’m a geek. So education and educating myself about an ever-expanding array of topics is my favorite pleasurable activity.
• Quais são as especificidades de seu estilo de vida que fazem quem você é?
  I think the single most important truth by which I try to guide my life is something a great professor emphasized daily in his classroom: “Don’t sweat the small stuff, and it’s all small stuff”. He would add that only then can one manage the “big stuff” that life inevitably throws your way. It’s an ethos that has shaped my personality development positively, I believe.
• O que você gostaria que seus leitores soubessem sobre você que é único e até um pouco pessoal?
  As many people do, I find it difficult to take compliments...however, I’m very much self-actualized and have a greater than normal understanding of the best version of myself when compared to the population at large. I’m self-confident and have a greatly resilient self esteem. But I’m still susceptible to Self-depreciation, usually when responding to a compliment though.
• Se nós sentamos na praia e bebemos vinho e comemos boa comida só você e eu, o que você iria me dizer sobre você e sua vida?
  I would most likely talk a lot about my family, in particular my eldest nephew with whom I bonded more deeply than the other Nieces and nephew, only because it was necessary. Also my education and career have been an important focus up to this point in my life, and an integral factor in my sense of accomplishment, so I’m sure that would weave its way in and out.
• Que tipo de regime de dieta e fitness você segue?
  I don’t have either. I was fortunate to develop physiologically the way I am today. Thus far no working out has been necessary. Thankfully, I was an elite gymnast for 14 years growing up. I worked out 40-50 hours a week at my toughest training times. I don’t want to work out anymore.
• Conte-nos um pouco sobre si mesmo, se você fosse escolher algo, o que você gostaria que os outros absolutamente soubessem sobre você?
  I have a complex personality. I never intend to make someone feel bad. I’m always trying to help people. And I have an unwavering hope that people are generally good natured.
• Qual é o seu "nicho"?
  I have a natural ability to sense what people want and know how to make them happy.
• O que os outros deveriam saber absolutamente sobre você?
  I will always accept constructive feedback and modify my behavior accordingly.
• O que você mais gosta em si mesmo?
  My inner monologue is absolutely hilarious. I crack myself up.
• Quais são 5 coisas que você não pode viver sem?
  My family, including my Rottweiler, Mollie are truly the only things that I can honestly list here. Oh yea and well prepared food. I love food. And wine. Love wine
