I'm driven by telling stories, I love telling stories.

A good storyteller can hold everybody captive without the special effects of Hollywood.

Stories have inspired me all my life. I like reading about what other people have done and it inspires me to share my own stories, and encourage people to make their own life stories.

I try to encourage people to identify the things in life that they really want to do, so that over a period of time they can design or steer their life towards those things.

La Paz, Bolivia, is the most extraordinary city.

There was some expiration point to my life, and it became very important to maximize the time that I did have on Earth. That's what led me to my personal philosophy: "No Opportunity Wasted" - NOW for short, which is about living life to the fullest.

There are amazing teachers, but the system doesn't always allow them to address the individual needs of a child.
