Roviros Manthoulis
An interview abounding with knowledge and history…
“The word “talent” which comes from the ancient Greek “talanton” (talent, the unit of weight) is something that can make you smile or cry, something that has a power, an ability. It’s not only about having strong arms or legs like athletes in the Olympics; it’s about having the ability to change a person, if you can achieve that, something not everyone can achieve. Then that means you have a talent!”
