I've always had an affinity for sports, probably one of the sources of my discipline, determination, and leadership.
Like this picture below, a final in a football tournament during my 11th grade.
Still continuing to this day in the form of an amateur Mixed Martial Arts fighter, for three years now, having won both competition fights I've taken part in, sports is part of my lifestyle.
Playing sports throughout my life has taught me a lot, not just in wins, but losses, when you make the most of your mistakes and learn from them. This is incremental in my work culture as well. We are human, mistakes are human to make, it's what we do after that which determines who we are.
“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

The left side of the Brain
Adding to the analytical skills and logical thinking, there's that creative side of me that indulges in sketching and photography. The latter which is now a business. Being a professional photographer and videographer was certainly not in my plan but I'm glad that it happened.
I'm proud to say that I have successfully taken over 60 projects in 5 genres over the period of 3 years, even during my Bachelor's degree.
The sketching, which was genetic thanks to my mother, came to me as naturally as photography but just earlier. These skills are now seen in my graphic design and content creation.
Now, having the skills to take a nice picture is one thing, having a subject to capture is another. Well, that is no problem for me as I'm an avid motorcycle rider as well, going to destinations far and near, capturing beautiful memories that last forever.
