All news

Žiga Vavpotič and his My Very Own Book is a fortunate combination of a young intellectual and an adult of restless and searching mind who is trying to persuade us that our dreams can come true. This book is neither just a book nor a handbook but a potential copy of our wishes, intentions, goals, and will. It actually proves that we can remain simultaneously children and adults the whole life, erasing in this way borders among generations. What deserves special admiration is also Žiga’s approach and top-level organization in publishing this book. I am pleased that we have such a man among us.

Prof. Vlado Dimovski, Ph. D., co-author of the book Authentic Leadership in a Learning Organization

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.
