Sarina: Name 3 brands that you can’t live without
Apple – simply because their products are great
Audi – they produce the best cars and I just love mine ![]()
Heineken - can’t help being a little chauvinist
Sarina: Read any good books lately?
Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela written by Nelson Mandela, as far as I am concerned a must read for everyone. It describes in great detail the unimaginable suffering of the black majority in South Africa and the ideas, plans and struggle for a free and democratic South Africa.
Sarina: What’s the last musical concert you attended? Describe the experience.
Raul Midon in Tivoli, Utrecht, The Netherlands in January 2010. Raul Midon is a fantastic performer that combines a great voice with fantastic guitar play, very intimate concert in my own hometown.
Sarina: Who are some of your heroes/role models? Why have they touched/inspired you?
One of my heroes is Nelson Mandela, his approach, his positivism and the way he changed one of the most racist countries in the world into a true democracy where both black and white live together in relative harmony, even though his work is far from done.
Role models: my parents, who always taught me not to give up and that everything is possible when you try really hard.
Sarina: What is one piece of advice that you’d like to leave the LegionCorps with?
Actually I’d like to quote Bryan Dyson (CEO of Coca Cola):
“Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them – Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the Air.
You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.
But the other four Balls – Family, Health, Friends and Spirit – are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.”
