      A difficult question to answer, Hannah.

      Family comes first, absolutely, so to provide whatever is necessary for my family. Number 2 ? I live in a wide community and we help each other, so it is to be ready to help out where someone needs help and I can do what is necessary. No 3 ? I think that both my wife and I would love to see the Mona Lisa, some Modigliani, and Leonardo’s Last Supper before we find ourselves unable to travel any longer.

      May I add a fourth ? I have always been told that French cuisine is superb, particularly if sampled in France itself. A trip to Bordeau to prove them right?

      Not to let myself down. I am no saint, but i have a view on what is good and what is bad and I want to be doing good. I need to be honest with myself and proud of myself.
      Not to let down those that I love. I care for my family and my friends. I want to make them happy when I can and be useful when they need help.
      Get things that can not be taken away: like memories, like knowledge, like understanding. That’s why I try to travel as much as I can and see as much of this planet as I can. I read and listen a lot.

      Now it may sound to idealistic not mentioning wealth at all, but it is totally true. Money is an important tool one can use to get a lot of things done. But it is by no means an aim in itself.

      The type of aims Alexander and Ken mention like family, friends, improving the world are also very important to me. But I have a couple of specific aims:
      – Work and live in south america
      – Own a grand piano
