My current motto:
"We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten.
Don't let yourself be lulled into inaction."
(Bill Gates)
"Be yourself. Who else is better qualified?" (Frank J. Giblin II)
Key of my success?
Tracking food. Even if I'm out of my calorie budget.
Then, 10 min exercise. Every day. Sun, rain, volcanos - no issue, I'm out there and my 10 min is in.
It was not by accident I landed on SP. I've read the article about people loosing double weight by making a food calendar, and it was from here. So, I decided to track my food. How to track then? I looked at several websites, desktop and mobile app, and I decided to come here to SP, because it had the right mix of community, planning, motivation - it was the whole package.. And the more I use SP, the more I like it here.
It changes over time what I like doing the most. Now, I am most interested in the Gestalt in OD. I like to watch movies, write postcards, ride my bike, make photos, get to know people, dance, travel, read, to learn in general. I most love learning languages; I speak French and English, now I learn German. I like gadgets, and I still build my desktop computer from parts. I'm Hungarian, grew up in Budapest.
Now I support a big administrative organisation to reduce workload and be happier. Challenging and exciting!
I studied bio-chemical and bioengineering, and worked in improving process in food for a couple of years; for some time with fruit preparations for yogurts and ice cream. So, there was always some apple, strawberry, peach, mango, or raspberry around me, which made eating fruits very easy.
But in 90% the case, it was strawberry! :-) For some reason, the World is mainly eating strawberry. Strawberry yogurt, strawberry ice cream, strawberry chewing gum, strawberry puree, strawberry jam, strawberry chocolate, strawberry cake.
Before, I worked as a developer of one of the main petfood brands in Europe in my previous job. And as a result, I developed a passion for dogs and cats over those years. Although my frequent traveling lifestyle doesn't allow me to have a dog with me now, I'm sure someone will company me in the future. Any questions on pet nutrition are welcome - just deal with the length of my answer!. ;-)
If you're interested to connect on Linkedin or Facebook, send me SparkMail to exchange e-mail addresses and full name.
I love high tech, but somehow, I also love to write postcards. So, if you send me your postal address in a SparkMail, I send you from here where I live, or from one of my trips.
