I knew exactly what I want and what to expect when I got engaged with the opening of the company and the the whole idea of my own shop in general. I know I won’t be rich (she’s laughing). My goal is to make the name of the shop popular, to build up a customer network and to develop the business as better as possible. Eventually, at some point, I would like to be able not only to cover my costs but to set aside some of my earnings. My plan is to make L'alba luce a commercial chain, if everything is all right. .

The answer to the crisis is work

The crisis in Greece is a fact and there are problems at all levels in the country but the world goes on. The answer is always the same - work. The more you give of yourself, the more you achieve. I am an optimist at heart and I believe that those who work and give everything of themselves will cope with the problems facing them. It sounds like a cliche but it’s true – you reap what you sow. Many stores and shops closed in the last year, but for the most part these were enterprises that had experienced problems before the economic crisis. Simply the new truth uncovered financial woes of many of them and they were forced to cease their activities. Now we need calm, measured, positive thinking and action to see the course of the problems. The mass media largely contributed to the panic in the country and the balance was impaired.

Our generation
 
In my opinion, the system for employment increase in the country in recent years disserviced our generation. 90 percent of my fellow-students at the University had intended to graduate and find a job in the public administration. The permanent security of being and officer to the end, regardless of the vicissitudes in the country, killed the young Greeks’s sense of initiative and ideas. I think this crisis will make good to us, because now the only way to survive is to create something new or competitive, which will be useful to you as a person and your country in the process of positive economic growth recovery. An example is the fact that the Greek handmade luminaries are more demanded, their price is better than the price of the imported lighting fixtures and there is no difference in the quality.

At the age of 40...

At the age of 40 I am going to have at least another shop on Kifisias Boulevard to the northern suburbs, a family and as many children as I happen to have and a small apartment in Rome. It will be my personal space in this beloved city of mine. In fact, the first moment when I can afford to invest it would be in real estate right there.
