DESCRIBE A PERSON FROM YOUR PAST YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE AGAIN, AND EXPLAIN WHY.

- Marco, the person I would like to see again, was both my boss and my working colleague and friend. The day that he opened the door of his brother´s office at Goes, I knew that it was the beginning of a lasting friendship.

- Although he considered himself not to be very tall, he was 1.75 meters tall and a man with a strong build and a slender figure. His piercing blue eyes and soft blonde hair was a sign of his Dutch origin. As far as I remember he had a hooked nose, typical of people from the north of Europe. His face, with its warm and friendly expression, was very attractive. Marco, who must be now in his late forties, used to dress in smart suit and without tie.

- First quality that attracted people´s attention was how sociable and chatty he was, the type of person who always had something to say, no matter the topic, and enjoyed meeting new people. In addition to being very smart and witty, very adaptable to changes and different environments, he was also assertive and ambitious, the sort of person who might run a large corporation, and this is exactly where he worked when I first met him. Maybe he came across as conceited, but to me he simply was self-assured.

- He dedicated his life to his job and his family. He was not only committed to his four children, but also a successful businessman. In spite of being very busy, he always had time for his children. But what struck me the most was his ability to learn languages and the gift for changing
from one language to another. Till the moment I saw him for last time he was able to speak fluently Dutch (his mother tongue), German, English, French and Spanish.

- He had a very intense and busy lifestyle. His profession enabled him to fulfill one of his dreams: to travel. He travelled all around Europe visiting customers and suppliers; fortunately, he could
combine his interests and career. He was convinced that the secret of a successful business was to run it with humour and fun! As a result, work was never boring when he was in the office.

- The main reason for what I would like to see him again is because we had a close friendship and, due to our job in the same company, we used to have good time together. Since I left the company we have not met again.

- Another reason is that to me he was an example of an enthusiastic person who, in spite of the difficulty of running a large corporation, knew how to give his employees the freedom to work without pressure and enjoying their jobs.
