Failure is not the opposite of success, it's part of success.

I am letting this quote to lead me through life. I fully trust in it not only in my work life. Learning from failures is what moves me forward the most. I think about situations I have been through quite often. I try to understand my past decisions, evaluate them rationally and look at them by different perspective, influenced by other factors. I am always open to constructive critism and other side’s view of the situation. Hearing from someone „good job“ is the thing that motivates me the most.

The idea of  „two sides of a coin“ and remembering this fact was and still is the meaning of one of my tattoos. (I am pretty sure it will stay that way for a long time…at least the tattoo). This brings me to hobbies or more personal level of this speech about myself. Sports are playing major role in my free time, especially football which I have been playing since a young age. Another part of me is travelling, but I’m definitely not one of those tourists who admire city sights or wait in hour-long queues for them. The exact opposite of that, getting to know nature with my closest, is a great balance of my work life.

Even though I enjoy my job, I bet Eurojackpot every Friday, hoping that I never have to work again 🙂
