About

I'm 17, fully independent, and raising a small personal runway round to compound skills and build my first company. I'm deeply interested in languages, architecture, psychology, neuroscience, engineering, economics, finance, geopolitics, and sociology.

To Remember

  1. The only time you should look down on a person is if you are helping them up.
  2. "Many people spend time studying the properties of animals or herbs; how much more important it would be to study those of people, with whom we must live or die!"
  3. I hope all is well, but all is never well, I hope you are able to see the well and the ways to improve the “not well“.
  4. The Future is Yours to Create
  5. Instead of crushing under disappointments, flourish with the upcoming opportunities.
  6. Happiness and enjoyment are the combination of progress being made and contribution to something greater than yourself.
  7. It’s not where you come from, it’s who you come as.
  8. Give the world what you couldn't get from it.
