Who, or what, was your most important teacher?
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a long-haired metal adolescent who was very lazy, I often just scraped through assessments and exams, doing the bare minimum amount of homework. However, my economics teacher D\u2019hont saw potential behind those long hairs and encouraged me to push myself, and even go to university as the first person in my family to do so.

What was your most important lesson?
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLife is one big party, but you have to bring your own party hat\u201d. This is a crudely translated Dutch saying that probably doesn\u2019t mean much to others. But what I have learned over the years is that you should enjoy every moment in your life, but do not expect things to come naturally to you, and work on your happiness and those around you.

If you could try out any job for a day, what would you like to try?
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I would love to be Mathieu van der Poel (Dutch cyclist\/mountainbiker\/cyclo-crosser\/all-road entertainer) for one day.
