Episode quotes:
“I hesitated at the beginning, maybe for two or three weeks. I kept hearing voices inside my head because I did not understand anything about what they were talking about. I had no idea.”
“I believe if someone loves what he's learning he won't find anything negative or won't look at the negative things. He will focus on how to learn and how to finish the course in a good way.”
“The idea that I have something and that it could be sold one day. I believe that I'm going to do it one day.”
“Just for anyone who wants to do things or wants to have a job or a dream to do something. You have to believe in yourself that you can do it. Whenever you have that thought in your mind that's it. You would be able to do anything.”
“I felt like I am maybe outdated about something but I managed to live young again and understand everything that's going on.”
