About the author
Žiga Vavpotič, author
20 fingers, 26 teeth, 7 cervical vertebrae.
A dreamer, a visionary, an entrepreneur, a student.
I think, love, listen, laugh, cry, yawn, read, plan, help, appreciate, respect, praise, forgive, support, enjoy.
Above all, I like to praise, to recommend, to connect. To cooperate. To think. We don’t do enough of that.
An idea, a vision, a mission, a goal!
My vision is that everyone would leave a trace by his/her life for a better world, for happiness and understanding among people. This is so simple. To praise someone, to smile at someone, to tell someone that she/he matters a lot to you.
My mission is to encourage people to leave a trace by their lives. Big or small, shallow or deep, in sand or on paper, by a look, a smile or an action.
I believe that we, each and averyone of us, can make a better world.
To live honestly and contribute to the others' lives.
Live and leave a trace.
