THE PERSON BEHIND THE PORTRAIT

In her own words

Life is not linear, but offers a wealth of unlimited opportunities. The more you seize, the more you learn. Sometimes it can be difficult to understand why you can’t achieve this or that or why you have to be put in a difficult situation, but often it will be an invaluable learning experience in the long run. In this context, we often have a rather boring tendency to think that we can solve problems ourselves and therefore don’t ask others for help. This tendency is a bit boring partly because many tasks become both more fun and easier when you get help and partly because most people really want to help – we underutilize a great potential by not asking for help, whether it’s for fear of seeming incompetent, being a nuisance or something else entirely. And finally, remember not to worry too much, rejoice in everything that comes your way and enjoy both the near and the great.
