In both life and work, stay flexible. Whether in a country, a company, or a family, the same holds true: Dictatorship and rigidity rarely work. Freedom and elasticity do.

My path was simple: Follow your passion. Pour in your heart and soul. Settle for nothing less than excellence. And with enough hard work and faith in yourself, you can realize your dream.

I feel blessed. So many men and women search and search but never find their passion, their calling, their sense of mission that would ignite their hearts and fill their lives with meaning and joy.

How beautiful it is to excel, and the goodness of giving from your heart.

There are a lot of people with a lot of money, and I'm amazed they don't understand what a great pleasure it can be to give.

Wine to me is passion. It's family and friends. It's warmth of heart and generosity of spirit.
