What qualities are required for a successful professional activity?
Simple, very simple 😃:
Desire, Passion, Curiosity, Work ... A lot of #ZestForWork ... and last but not least Responsibility and Courage.
When you do something (in activity) for the first time and you do it well, but everyone thinks you have done it „a thousand times” .... :), know that here you can evaluate your professional level. This is my experience

How do you reconcile career and personal life?
"There are two essential components in my life that intertwine harmoniously, in a balance based on work, involvement, and lots and lots of passion. Courage helps me accept challenges and turn them into opportunities.
It all depends on how you set your balance. My boys at home enjoy intimacy without me (within reasonable limits ☺) and have patience when I have "a lot of work in the office", and my teammates have patience when I have “work with the boys” 😃
