Something more about me:

I grew up with computer games.

Back in the MS-DOS era, when PCs struggled to read 3.5-inch floppy disks and every launch required patience, games were already shaping my world. Since then, I’ve played more than 3,000 titles. To many people, that sounds like wasted time. To me, it was training — pattern recognition, strategy, resilience, and sometimes just pure joy.

My English name, Ralph, actually comes from The King of Fighters. My favorite character was Ralf Jones — a powerhouse who was almost ridiculously simple to use. One decisive move — the “Ralf Punch” — and the match could be over. Clean. Direct. No unnecessary complexity.

When I first tried to use the spelling “Ralf,” my teacher told me that name didn’t exist in the English dictionary. I was forced to change it to “Ralph.” Fine.

But the philosophy stayed.

Keep fighting. Make it simple. Enjoy the process.

That mindset extends beyond games.

I’m drawn to travel — especially places that remind me how small I am. Nature has a way of recalibrating the ego.

One experience in Bali, Indonesia, left a permanent mark on me. We visited a private beach known for its powerful waves. The tour guide warned us clearly: the surf was dangerous, there was no lifeguard, and swimming was risky.

My first reaction? I grew up near the ocean. Every kid in my hometown knows how to swim. Why should I be afraid?

So I walked straight into the water.

Ten minutes later, I turned around and realized I was the farthest from shore. The second-closest swimmer was at least twenty meters behind me. I felt proud. Strong. Confident.

Then a simple question appeared in my mind:

How do I get back?

The ocean doesn’t negotiate. The same waves that carry you outward fight you twice as hard on the return. Swimming out felt effortless — like sliding through oil. Swimming back felt like pushing against an invisible wall that kept pulling me deeper.

Within minutes, I was drained.

That’s when I understood something important: brute force wouldn’t save me.

I stopped fighting the ocean directly and started studying it. I waited for the rhythm. When the wave pulled outward, I held my breath and dove deep to reduce resistance. When it surged toward shore, I moved with it. Progress was painfully slow. Just as I gained a meter, the next wave would throw me back.

Fear crept in quietly. Not panic — just the realization that nature doesn’t care about confidence.

Then, suddenly, my foot touched sand.

Hope returned instantly.

When I finally collapsed onto the shore, exhausted and gasping, the sunlight felt warmer than ever. The sky looked impossibly blue. Breathing — something I had never thought about before — felt like a privilege.

That day taught me more than any game ever did.

Strength alone is not enough. Strategy matters. Timing matters. Humility matters.

And most of all — life is beautiful, especially on ordinary days when nothing dramatic happens and you’re simply alive to feel the sun.

Maybe that’s what I’ve been chasing all along.

Keep fighting. Keep it simple. And don’t forget to enjoy the shore when you reach it.
