He can turn pancake in the air, which used to be his most endorsed skill on his former linkedIn

He considers everything a game so he can remain calm even in the tightest emergencies.

Gergely is a fun guy to work with. He could remain cool headed in the tightest situations when
|
|
|
|
|
everyone else were running around like headless chicken.

I believe one can only achieve success if they follow their own instincts and listen to, but
|
|
|
|
|
not bend under others’ opinions. If you change your course just because someone says so, you
|
|
|
|
|
are following their instincts, not yours.
