“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.”
– Heraclitus of Ephesus
Just as Heraclitus stated two millennia ago, every experience no matter how small teaches something new. My various and broad-reaching experiences have shaped me into the person I am today.
