Tewedaj: A lot of water and food.

External audit and 4,000 Br, gross.

Peace of mind.

Q: Would you rather speak all languages in the world or be the world’s most specialised in your field?
Specialised in my field.
Q: From the financial world, what do you personally believe is useless?
Short-termism. We are all chasing short-term wins.

I would have been a psychiatrist or an author.
