'I haven't reached my full potential as a philanthropist'

The number one item on your wish list?

I have many things on my wish list but, most of all, I'd love a robot to take care of my domestic duties and household chores!

If you could visit anywhere in the world for free, what place would that be?

I don't believe in freeloading - but since you ask, I'd like to visit Syria because it's a nation that needs a lot of aid right now - and isn't getting enough. I'd love to go there and help the people in any way I can for the betterment of the country.

The biggest learning point or experience in your life to date.

Everything comes at a price and there's always a give-and-take policy involved. That's what I've learnt from some of my past experiences.

If you won a million bucks tomorrow, what would you do with the money?

I would divide half of it among various causes in suffering countries and invest the remainder in my business.

What advice would you give your younger self, if you could?

I would tell her to always plan in advance, because it's like Benjamin Franklin said, "If you fail to plan, then you are planning to fail."

The most interesting app you've come across that's not the usual social media suspect.

Wunderlist definitely tops that list. It helps me keep my tasks in check and always motivates me to get things done!

Your greatest fear.

I've always feared losing the good people in my life.

If you could trade lives with one person for an entire day, who would it be and why?

Mother Teresa. I would love to help people and have that be a more constant part of my life but, unfortunately, I haven't been able to make that a reality yet because of my responsibilities at home and work. I feel like I haven't reached my full potential as a philanthropist due to those obstacles, but I am working towards those particular goals in my life.

Who is your favourite movie character of all time, and why?

Harry Stamper from Armageddon, played by Bruce Willis. He's my favourite character because he sacrifices his life for his daughter's boyfriend, since he cares so much about her happiness. The greatest sacrifice is when you sacrifice your own happiness for someone else's.

If you could have your pick of superpowers, what would you choose, and why?

Mind-reading! It would definitely make communicating with people a lot better - and corporate and personal relationships would be so much smoother and easier to deal with.
