Mangalia, September 1 – 4, 2007
“Why „HOP“?
…because you go over a threshold.
Why go over it?
…to get closer to yourself.
Why???
…to know yourself better.
Who wants that?
…Whoever is not afraid of his own limits.
Who?
Who takes a risk.
What kind of risk?
To win or to lose.
What do you risk when you win?
You risk losing.
Losing what?
Your head!
P.S. Best of Luck to all the brave ones who will get together for HOP 2007“
