About Me There are many things in this life which I am not sure about. Honestly, most everything because there are few certainties in life. Sometimes, not even death seems to be so absolute, just ask my friend Brian. He has a few good stories to tell.
Despite never knowing what the future will hold, it is still incredible easily for me to hold my head high and take another step into the unknown. Tomorrow is always another day and a new chance to start over. But, we must live for today because it could be the last. And, most importantly, we must not forget our yesterdays. It is in those days where we find that which makes us.
My life has been incredibly fortunate and rich. I have never had the most expensive or newest of "things", but I certainly have never had want and I've never had to do without. My parents are, and have always been, the most selfless people I've ever known.
There is nothing they wouldn't do for me so long as it was within their power. Sometimes it seems to me that I have taken advantage of this, in a certain sense. However, what they have instilled in me I will pass on and do the same for whomever shall be in my future.
Today, I am a student, but only by technicalities. I currently reside in one of the best places in the entire world, Brno, Czech Republic. I can say that with only the best intentions and with the knowledge of where I have been in my life.
I have been fortunate enough to see more of this great world than will most of the people I have ever known. Still, I have seen almost nothing in comparison to what is actually out there and what this world has to offer. I encourage everyone to travel, even if it isn't far from home, there are still many things to discover!
Even though this world is quite big and very complex, I do try to maintain a relatively simplistic lifestyle. I do my best to not take more than I can use and do not use more than what I actually need. That is harder and harder to do with each passing day, but it is possible so long as we don't forget.
There are a thousand ways in which I could improve myself and everyday I like to try a new one. Sometimes they don't always work out and sometimes they aren't as good as what I would have imagined. But, every step taken is a step towards the goal. What is learned with each step is most important as it is only knowledge useful for the next.
If I there was only one thing which I had to say, it would be to encourage everyone to be the person that they want to be and not what others want for them. If everyone were to live for themselves while still putting others first, then the world would be a better place.
It only takes one person to change the world and that person is each of us. There is nothing stopping us but ourselves. Let's take the first step towards our future and make it count. We can do anything with our lives because there is nothing we cannot overcome, but we will never know if we don't try.
