The most inspiring people
1. Franz Liszt
1. Franz Liszt
Franz Liszt inspires me all the way, his talent and his personality and his life.
One of the reasons I admire him maybe because he was a giver ( rather than a taker ) , a very sweet, passionate artist. No calculation. Original.
Also he was an amazing challenger who had confidence in himself. He is a mystery person who is really different from me.
2. Howard Schultz
“ Dream more than others think practical “
“ This is not a transaction, not a calculation , no, it’s a passion ! and it’s about communication with people, with heart ! “ - Howard Schultz
Definitely the most inspiring business marketer. Unique! I’m very convinced by his life and his way of living.
3. Frederic Chopin
How not to admire a person who made music like “ Rondo Krakowiak “ ? The most beautiful music I’ve ever heard in my life.
Not to mention his nocturnes, piano concertos and many others.
He is definitely an incredible genius composer.

Favorite present pianists
1. Yukio Yokoyama
2. Yundi Li
Since we figured out who the pianist was who plays Chopin’s Etudes - the Revolutionary and Winter Wind - in the movie Desire for Love was Yukio Yokoyama, he became my present favorite pianist.
His performances of these legendary etudes are breathtakingly emotional, fiery, passionate and beautiful.
