“When I´m calm he’s calm, when I´m stressed out he’s stressed out.”

Today I was walking near the dam square and all of a sudden I saw this big group of people. Mostly when a group of people gathers on the Dam something interesting is going on. When I got closer I discovered this extremely tall (Scottish dressed) man surrounded by over 50 little Chinese woman. He kept being extremely polite and friendly and took a photo with each of them. Some of them tried to give him cash but it was obvious that making money wasn’t his main goal. After 20 minutes I finally was able to take a photo of him alone and I asked him, why are you dressed like this? He answered: “I somehow try to represent to Scottish community around here.”

“Honestly I never imagined myself writing a book. One year ago I became a life coach. I help young people to discover their talents. We live in a world where we have too many options. It’s very hard to make decisions and to have clear goals. My very first client, a 14 year old boy who was struggling with this inspired me to write this book. Throughout our session I suddenly had an epiphany. He made me realize that as long as you stay true to yourself and focus on your talents you can achieve whatever you want in life. Right now I’m writing down his story and hopefully it will inspire others – as it inspired me.”

“I studied in Egypt during the beginning of the revolution. The struggle people there go through on a daily basis is incomparable. I have witnessed a lot of inequality between rich and poor on the streets of Cairo. But to see boys and girls my age forming an unity and fighting for the future of their country made a big impression on me.”

“I try to teach my girls that no matter how small or big, good or bad their deeds are counted. Nothing in life goes by unseen.”

“At 16 I was very aware of my appearance. My clothes and my make up, it just had to be perfect. 3 years later I am still a perfectionist but not when it comes down to my looks. At the moment I strive to tear down that wall and be a better and more approachable person. ”
