“From Hinduism to the monotheisms through to Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, the common message is that we are all, naturally and potentially, inclined to reject the other, and to be intolerant and racist. Left to our own devices and our own emotions, we can be deaf, blind, dogmatic, closed and xenophobic: we are not born open-minded, respectful and pluralist. We become so through personal effort, education, self-mastery and knowledge.” 
― Tariq Ramadan

3 Questions

When I meet a new person, I am interested in learning about their struggles. I believe these 3 questions reveal a lot about a person, their struggles, their resilience, their attitude towards life, their strength to carry on and move mountains. If they are willing to share their struggles with me I know they are proud of something. Whether it's their ability to identify, acknowledge or overcome, there is something they are proud of. When someone's eyes light up I know I have a story that will teach me something extremely remarkable and valuable and that means a world to me.

I came to United States with $100 in my pocket

What was your most challenging struggle?

I came to United States from Poland with two suitcases and $100 in my pocket. I didn't know anyone. I knew I will have to figure it all out but I was up for the challenge. I wanted to finish my schooling and become someone. 

How did you cope with it?

I didn't have to cope with it. I accepted it. I knew I will have to go through this to accomplish what I wanted to accomplish. 


Knowing what you know now, what would you tell someone who is going through a similar situation?

[We got sidetracked and never made it to this question. Weronika, if you are reading this, shoot me an email and answer this question. ;) ]

    “You may tell a tale that takes up residence in someone's soul, becomes their blood and self and purpose. That tale will move them and drive them and who knows that they might do because of it, because of your words. That is your role, your gift.”
