As crazy as I was as a child, life turned me into a respectable grown-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I walked the Earth striving to be good at some things…..like learning well at school because that is what my parents expected of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started playing football pretty late and although I was behind compared to other children my age, I managed to become a good football player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I followed this pattern continuously until I got it: if you work hard for something (anything), you will reach the top. This eventually led me to programming and today I’m surrounded by this team of beautiful people and together we’re organizing the largest WordCamp event Romania has ever seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I became a freelancer, the balance of my life kind of faded away. Regardless of what new thing you start in your life, if you want to make it good, you need to give it your all, so that’s what I did. You can say that I followed the pattern from above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even so, at some point, I started organizing myself better. I have improved my communication skills and started managing the things around me instead of being handled by them. I became patient and am now paying close attention to my health and overall state of well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I couldn’t have made it so far without being grounded. Note that Quora helped me a lot in this quest. I just have to remain grounded and hope for the best. Every day I wake up is a new victory and I get to live my life the way I want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enough about working hard. Let’s talk about playing hard. I love sports…all types of sports. I am good at sports. Not always the best, but among them. From Fitness to Climbing Mountains, from Football to Ping-Pong, from relaxed to hard-core, I do them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, me and my wife climbed the highest Mountain in Africa: Mount Kilimanjaro 5895m amsl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides sports, I love traveling, but not alone. The best mate you can travel with is your life partner, so we’re almost always together, gaining more and more ground, hoping that one day we’ll be able to say that we saw all the important landmarks in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also love partying, going to music festivals, or just having a barbecue in the middle of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I grow old, I just want to be healthy and live peacefully while feeling safe financially. I want to be an example for my descendants and hand them over a heritage that they can preserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I could give my younger self a piece of advice, I would tell myself to buy BitCoin while I was still in high school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I were to give my descendants a piece of advice, that would be: never stop believing in yourself. You can accomplish anything you imagine as long as you’re willing to put in the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\uddf7\ud83c\uddf4 \u00cen Rom\u00e2n\u0103:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pe c\u00e2t de neast\u00e2mp\u0103rat eram c\u00e2nd eram copil, via\u021ba m-a transformat \u00eentr-un adult respectabil. Am umblat pe P\u0103m\u00e2nt str\u0103duindu-m\u0103 s\u0103 fiu bun la unele lucruri… cum ar fi s\u0103 \u00eenv\u0103\u021b bine la \u0219coal\u0103, pentru c\u0103 asta era ceea ce p\u0103rin\u021bii mei a\u0219teptau de la mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am \u00eenceput s\u0103 joc fotbal destul de t\u00e2rziu \u0219i, de\u0219i eram \u00een urm\u0103 fa\u021b\u0103 de al\u021bi copii de v\u00e2rsta mea, am reu\u0219it s\u0103 devin un juc\u0103tor bun. Am urmat acest tipar \u00een mod continuu p\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd am \u00een\u021beles: dac\u0103 munce\u0219ti din greu pentru ceva (orice), vei ajunge \u00een v\u00e2rf. Acest lucru m-a condus \u00een cele din urm\u0103 la programare \u0219i ast\u0103zi sunt \u00eenconjurat de aceast\u0103 echip\u0103 de oameni minuna\u021bi \u0219i, \u00eempreun\u0103, organiz\u0103m cel mai mare eveniment WordCamp pe care l-a v\u0103zut vreodat\u0103 Rom\u00e2nia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u00e2nd am devenit freelancer, echilibrul vie\u021bii mele a cam disp\u0103rut. Indiferent de ce lucru nou \u00eencepi \u00een via\u021b\u0103, dac\u0103 vrei s\u0103-l faci bine, trebuie s\u0103 te dedici complet, a\u0219a c\u0103 asta am f\u0103cut. Se poate spune c\u0103 am urmat tiparul de mai sus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chiar \u0219i a\u0219a, la un moment dat, am \u00eenceput s\u0103 m\u0103 organizez mai bine. Mi-am \u00eembun\u0103t\u0103\u021bit abilit\u0103\u021bile de comunicare \u0219i am \u00eenceput s\u0103 gestionez lucrurile din jurul meu, \u00een loc s\u0103 fiu condus de ele. Am devenit r\u0103bd\u0103tor \u0219i acum acord o mare aten\u021bie s\u0103n\u0103t\u0103\u021bii mele \u0219i st\u0103rii generale de bine. Nu a\u0219 fi ajuns at\u00e2t de departe f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 fiu ancorat \u00een realitate. Observa\u021bi c\u0103 Quora m-a ajutat mult \u00een aceast\u0103 c\u0103utare. Trebuie doar s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2n cu picioarele pe p\u0103m\u00e2nt \u0219i s\u0103 sper la ce e mai bun. Fiecare zi \u00een care m\u0103 trezesc este o nou\u0103 victorie \u0219i \u00eemi tr\u0103iesc via\u021ba a\u0219a cum vreau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Destul despre munc\u0103. Hai s\u0103 vorbim despre distrac\u021bie. Iubesc sporturile… toate tipurile de sporturi. Sunt bun la sport. Nu \u00eentotdeauna cel mai bun, dar printre cei buni. De la Fitness la Escalad\u0103, de la Fotbal la Ping-Pong, de la relaxare la sporturi extreme, le fac pe toate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen 2022, eu \u0219i so\u021bia mea am urcat cel mai \u00eenalt munte din Africa: Muntele Kilimanjaro, 5895m altitudine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 sport, iubesc c\u0103l\u0103toriile, dar nu singur. Cel mai bun partener de c\u0103l\u0103torie este partenerul de via\u021b\u0103, a\u0219a c\u0103 suntem aproape \u00eentotdeauna \u00eempreun\u0103, cucerind din ce \u00een ce mai mult teren, sper\u00e2nd c\u0103 \u00eentr-o zi vom putea spune c\u0103 am v\u0103zut toate reperele importante din lume. De asemenea, ne place s\u0103 petrecem, s\u0103 mergem la festivaluri de muzic\u0103 sau pur \u0219i simplu s\u0103 facem un gr\u0103tar \u00een mijlocul naturii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u00e2nd voi \u00eemb\u0103tr\u00e2ni, \u00eemi doresc doar s\u0103 fiu s\u0103n\u0103tos \u0219i s\u0103 tr\u0103iesc lini\u0219tit, sim\u021bindu-m\u0103 \u00een siguran\u021b\u0103 din punct de vedere financiar. Vreau s\u0103 fiu un exemplu pentru descenden\u021bii mei \u0219i s\u0103 le las o mo\u0219tenire pe care s\u0103 o poat\u0103 p\u0103stra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dac\u0103 a\u0219 putea s\u0103-i dau un sfat eu-lui meu mai t\u00e2n\u0103r, i-a\u0219 spune s\u0103 cumpere BitCoin c\u00e2t timp eram \u00eenc\u0103 \u00een liceu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dac\u0103 ar fi s\u0103 dau un sfat descenden\u021bilor mei, acesta ar fi: nu \u00eenceta\u021bi niciodat\u0103 s\u0103 crede\u021bi \u00een voi \u00een\u0219iv\u0103. Pute\u021bi realiza orice v\u0103 imagina\u021bi, at\u00e2ta timp c\u00e2t sunte\u021bi dispu\u0219i s\u0103 depune\u021bi efort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
