Outstanding Feb 12, 2013

He is really standing out from the "crowd" of job seekers.
His idea is simply fantastic and seem to have produced the desired results.
All the best to him.

Creativity Feb 12, 2013

I love this kind of creativity.

Like Charles, I admire him greatly, and think we translators should take a leaf out of his book
