First of all I would thank my parents for giving me birth, for taking care of me, for doing their best to educate me as well for their moral support in each my deed and being one of my best challengers.

I would like to thank my grandparents for all the love they gave to me and care while my parents were not living with me.

Here follows the staff from the Secondary school in Orlandowtzi and especially Mrs Geurgieva, Mrs Komarova, Mrs Moneva, Ms Tomova who made me believe that the world is far much bigger than the neighbourhood I then lived in, but one should be contiguous in broadening it.

I am very obliged to the whole staff of the English Language school who taught me that everyone survives in his unique way. Here I want to thank also to my classmates from the same school who forced me to get used to the idea that sometimes it is better that every cobbler stuck to his last rather than to be out-of place. Special thanks to Mrs Primova who insisted on the improvement of my writing skills (it turned not only useful but also pleasant thing to deal with). Can't miss my Teachers in Chemistry who made me learn how to make the boring and unpleasant things the most obssessive occupation. And Assen Nikolov taught me that when one is aware of his weaknesses but he still wants to compete, he should investigate more resources than the better ones.

I am deeply indebted to Emil Popov who taught me that one should meet defeats, be aware of his weaknesses and confess his faults.

T. Tzigow gave me my first but very important lesson on how one should not miss deadlines no matter that the reap of his work might be better if he had one hour more.

I am very grateful to Alexander Alexandrov for being my first real tutur, advisor, employer and challenger during my professional career.

Special thanks to the past S. Ilarionov for the confidence and enthusiasm during the one hour oral test in Aesthetics (which i will never forget)

I am thankful to V. Todorow and Co. for the chance given to work with them: This experience taught me that there are moments in life that it is better to preserve your dignity and selfrespect and also showed me what kind of work and company I will never attend again.

I am also grateful to the staff of the Bulgarian commettee of ICOMOS for showing me that sometimes it is better to chose moderate risks rather to be told postfactum that you are the right participant for the protocol.

Thanks to some coordinators (R. G. amd R. T.) who show me what a good coordinator should not do. Also thanks to the first one for the confirmation of my thesis that one should strive for everything ( no matter material or not)

I would like to express my gratitude to the whole staff and colleauges from IM3P in Bg, for making me rethink and see the things happening to me from another point of view, and also for their great contribution to my personal development.
