CHASING THE UNKNOWN: A SCIENCE EXPEDITION

My beginnings date back to a brightly lit bookstore. I was only five, and birthdays meant the chance to pick one new treasure. I remember craning my neck, spotting it on the highest shelf, almost glowing: "10000 Questions Why." It wasn't a fairy tale. It was a giant, heavy book full of scientific secrets, written in a tone that felt like a playful whisper. When my parents brought it home, those thick pages weren't just reading material; they became the first, exciting clues on my scientific pirate map. I couldn't read the dense words, but the diagrams were enough: the Earth shrinking into a marble near the colossal planets hanging in space, the invisible force that made magnets snap together. Every drawing was a bold, intriguing 'X' marking a hidden truth, and I felt the exhilaration of knowing there were secrets waiting just beneath the surface of the ordinary world.

As I grew taller, the library became my ship, where I fueled my quest. I joined every group and fair I saw, desperate to see the "how" behind the "why." I stood mesmerized as people appeared to control fire with their bare hands, watching flames pulse to an invisible beat. It all felt like pure magic, hidden behind theories I had yet to learn. The map was exciting, showing me what was out there, but I needed to know how to get there. That's when I started seeking my true compass, navigating towards real, structured knowledge. To sail that vast sea, I needed a proper heading.

EXPLORING PAST THE HORIZON

As I embark on this expedition, I come across many islands. One of them is the Trade Island. Here, my pursuit of science is paused; in its place is the chase for understanding the global landscape of business and economics. As I weave through the complexities of market analysis, net profits, and financial strategy, I learn to translate my scientific vision into viable strategies for scalable businesses.
