1) Can you share with us what you have learned from your life experience so far, and what you consider very important for a peaceful, happy and successful life? Last year has been quite turbulent and challenged me in ways I could not have foreseen. The transition year, as I like to refer to it, has taught me that volunteering, activism, work, and achieving success are nice, but not so much if the price for that is health and happiness.
