“Sunt imbecili cei care spun despre lucrările mele că ar fi abstracte; ceea ce ei numesc abstract este cel mai pur realism, deoarece realitatea nu este reprezentată de forma exterioară, ci de ideea din spatele ei, de esenţa lucrurilor.”
“Il y a des imbéciles qui définissent mon œuvre comme abstraite, pourtant ce qu’ils qualifient d’abstrait est ce qu’il y a de plus réaliste, ce qui est réel n’est pas l’apparence mais l’idée, l’essence des choses.”

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2006, divided into two equal parts, to Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank for their efforts to create economic and social development from below. Lasting peace can not be achieved unless large population groups find ways in which to break out of poverty. Micro-credit is one such means. Development from below also serves to advance democracy and human rights.
Muhammad Yunus has shown himself to be a leader who has managed to translate visions into practical action for the benefit of millions of people, not only in Bangladesh, but also in many other countries. Loans to poor people without any financial security had appeared to be an impossible idea. From modest beginnings three decades ago, Yunus has, first and foremost through Grameen Bank, developed micro-credit into an ever more important instrument in the struggle against poverty. Grameen Bank has been a source of ideas and models for the many institutions in the field of micro-credit that have sprung up around the world.
Every single individual on earth has both the potential and the right to live a decent life. Across cultures and civilizations, Yunus and Grameen Bank have shown that even the poorest of the poor can work to bring about their own development.
Micro-credit has proved to be an important liberating force in societies where women in particular have to struggle against repressive social and economic conditions. Economic growth and political democracy can not achieve their full potential unless the female half of humanity participates on an equal footing with the male.
Yunus’s long-term vision is to eliminate poverty in the world. That vision can not be realised by means of micro-credit alone. But Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank have shown that, in the continuing efforts to achieve it, micro-credit must play a major part.

When in comes to dreams, passions and a free way of living, Alex Gavan is an inspiration for me.
We’ve been working together in AIESEC, sharing a common passion at that moment: Forward.
I admire him and I appreciate him as human being and as a friend.
Alex is climbing mountains and enjoying the great outdoors since forever. At 24 years old, he is a freelance climbing photographer and expedition organizer.
On 3rd of October he reached Cho Oyu, 8201m, and once again I’m damn proud to have him as a friend.
His philosophy>> “ I go up there and feel the happiest… I climb because, for me, climbing mountains outside is climbing mountains inside…ultimately, this is all about; it is not about conquering anything, is not about having anything…it is about becoming; each climb does not change you but transforms you; it is all about reinventing yourself (time and time again).”
If you can dream it, you can do it. The rest is just a matter of project management!
