Explore. Think. Do.
We are always in the way, we don’t look back and always keep forward. But there is a time where we need to stop and reflect on why we are doing what we are doing. Are we going to college because we enjoy what we are studying or just to get a good salary afterward? Are we doing volunteering somewhere because it looks nice and pretty on the CV or because we enjoy helping others? Let’s stop and think about your routine. Is that what you want with your life? Where do you want to go? Sometimes we do things as it is because is what we need to do but we do not think about why do we need them to do it.
Tomas’s personal and professional career has always been about that. Since he was very little he has been curious and inquisitive about all my environments that had let him explore and discover. He has been curious, asking questions, and discovering new directions he could explore. This curiosity, combined with being detail-oriented, played a big part in who Tomas is today.
