Fundamental work maxim:
“If you are to do something, do it with passion and the whole heart… otherwise don’t even look that direction”

Privately, as in the footnote:
music-lover, cinema-goer (should be rather film-lover), enthusiast for ibero-american prose, fantasy, riddles, diaporama and fabulously colourful socks. Owner of many fabulously colourful socks. Those ‘pair-less’ as well. Doesn’t like sleeping. Considers it to be tremendous waste of time. Nothing like that in the footnote? Strange…

Fundamental private maxim:
”If you are to live, live with passion and the whole heart… Otherwise go to the corner and to think over your miserable mundane routine”

Extremely formal: Renata Mleczko
Less formal: for colleagues, friends and enemies – Luna
Age: I think it makes no difference – women always get it mixed up :-)
Foreign languages: they say that after two glasses of tasty, absolutely red and absolutely dry wine you can even speak Suahili :-)

My daughter, asked to write something about me, sent my a quote:
„Neurotics build castles in the air, psychotics live in them. My mother cleans them.” (Rita Rudner)

If the word ‘clean’ is used above in the meaning of ‘to repaint adjoining dragons for them to look a little bit more like devil’s hamsters’, I am willing to agree with the statement. However, I’m not sure that was the point. :-)

Talking about myself is one of the things I can’t do. Maybe it’s because it is sometimes uncomfortable and embarrassing. What is more, I’m never sure it is really necessary :-) One thing I am sure of – the people I’ve met and those I meet every day largely determine who I am today. Thanks for that. As well as for the fact that I don’t have to spend eight hours a day on moving papers from one place to another or carrying out any other activities I don’t feel made for. The ability to integrate passion of creating with down-to-earth act of earning money makes me eight hours happier every day :-) I regard that for the greatest success achieved in this life.
I don’t remember any successes from the previous one :-)

Wondering who the other people are I reflect on the accuracy of my theory: ‘Tell me what do you listen to, what do you read and what films you like to watch over again and I will tell you who you are.” :-) I believe it defines us to some extent… but not for sure. :-) Lately, quite a lot of my theories don’t prove right :-)
