Personal example
Who am I?
• Goal-oriented in everything I do.
• Curious to all I do not (yet) understand.
• Competitive when being challenged.
• Creative in finding solutions.
• Helpful to people that I trust.
I want to find the limits of every product I use, person I meet and push my own limits. I want to intrinsically motivate people to stimulate them into making their own decisions and become less dependent of external factors, or people that decide for them.
