Life, though dear it be, but we have one day to die!
And many great people have taught me, and I
Cannot beshame them by telling any lie!
Modesty demands that we speak little and modestly about ourselves. But the Hell that is this contemporary world drives us to become braggarts; otherwise survival itself is impossible in this ruthlessly competitive world with everyone wretchedly forlorn and running for his life, as if, at full speed and like a completely mad man.
It is said that misfortunes teach a person well and steel him or her in the process. It is with neither any pride nor with any dejection that I declare unto you that I too have had my share of great misfortunes.

The field of translations and editing is just a part of the enterprise.
