Key Points
I am a common guy born in Minsk, Belarus, Eastern Europe. I have some experience in IT, business and networking, but that doesn’t make me someone really different from you, who reads that text. And it doesn’t matter, where are you based, what languages do you speak, what sex or age are you.
Many people try to represent themselves as outstanding, experienced and very important persons. From my point of view, it’s a big mistake. Once you start positioning yourself as a king who is better than anyone else, you stop learning from others. And that leads your progress to the end.
I always tried to be honest and a good person in general. But the thing is that people see the world from different angles of view, and sometimes it’s impossible to have a deal. In many cases you even don’t understand it, before you start.
