(Excerpt):


JD: How would you describe your main principles under which you lead your life?

ZS: Well obviously, I am faithful, this is very important to me, I try to be as good of a Christian as I could be. PLAST has made a big impression on me, because of the PLAST law of being a man of my word. This has remained in me until this day. To be honest, if I have to be late somewhere, then it’s better not to go at all than to be late. This is a very important principle for me, to put meaning into my word; if you say something than put action to complete it.
