PORTFOLIO

A birdview of my life achievement so far...

Welcome!
Thank you for visiting!

My overarching philosophy towards life can be encapsulated in the following principles:

- Anything stagnant tends to decline.
- A diminishing state implies the onset of decay.
- The notion of settling is a deceptive mirage.
- Life flourishes most in a continuous state of growth.
- Growth is synonymous with life.
- Growth IS Life.
