When we got a question to think about early childhood and person who influenced us to be proactive for the first time in our lives, that made me really travel deep into my memories and for sure I have found there so many things that I haven’t think about for a long, long time…
I was always hyperactive and impatient person.. Probably even before I was born. I came to this world one month earlier than it should be.. My mother told me that I haven’t crawl at all, that my first move was trying to walk.. They probably took from me my favorite toy or something very important for me at that time… I admit I really know to be stubborn sometimes…
But what I do remember, a little bit blurry but still remember, is that I start to swim when I was 5 or 6 years old.. My father had a lot of influence on me.. I was really close to him, and he was example that I always followed in life.. And I do remember that we were playing with a ball in the sea.. On the invisible edge where already with next step I would be in deeper water.. And he wanted to teach me how to swim.. And I wanted to make him proud of me.. Probably defiance inside of me made me swim in order to reach the ball.. and not to ask for help… Human nature is really tricky…
Later on in my life, during the war time I could, for sure, say that my mother proved me that she is one of the strongest leaders that I have ever met in my life..and probably the strongest that I would ever meet.. She faced difficult choices and conditions and make, not just herself, but all of us go through them..
And I have learned a lot from her, about human will and patience…
Life is a miracle, and if we have a love and passion for something, we can make it.. for sure…
