BIOGRAPHY
I'M DOING A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS.
THE STORY GOES ON.
I grew up as a rich boy. We had a mansion that was built by my grand grand father who owned a publishing studio in the midst of Prague. His destiny led him to experience the concentration camp and soon after the world war was over, all his posessions were taken away by communists. Unlike him, I never had to work really hard. And possibly, because of the lack of hardship, my life became difficult.
I took a gap year after having lived in New Zealand for 3 years. I found myself being on the other side of the world, having hard times. I soon found that life didn't work the way that vicinal society taught me. I came back with a sense of reality, found myself mentors and put myself through challenges that I thought were tough.
​
Since being back in New Zealand I ran a 100 miles, spent 24 hours on the street homeless, did a lot of push-ups, spent days without food, memorized 500 digits of pi and did a lot of other experiments. I am constantly looking to make the most of the combination of real-life experience and scholastic studies.
Because I'm getting a lot of value from these activities, I am closer to understanding how the real life operates more and more. I came into the world rich. I seemingly had an advantage. I know understand what truly is an advantage. The right knowledge and the right people in your life. I wouldn't be where I am without them, especially my mentors and mom.
Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times.
