A travel-bug who thinks spending two weeks with me in India or Saudi Arabia is a great adventure. Courage and self-confidence . Life is not always similar to war, but making an effort to meet the new neighbors, grinning when we have split the back of some tight pants, and going to a dull job day after day all take courage to start our first steps. I've met too many people, especially those well-protected by their parents, who are afraid of and worry about many little things. It's a pleasure to take risks together with someone who is prepared and willing to do so.
Life is just a series of greater roles to play, with greater responsibilities and risks.
Cheerfulness and optimism . Too many people around us are depressed, stressed, or serious. Life is too short to not make it as positive as we can. I try to avoid critical or negative people as much as possible. Curiosity and sense of humor .
