Agnese Samuilova
Can you introduce yourself? What is your name and surname? Agnese Samuilova What is your role at ATU Duty Free and what do you do in this role? I am a Sales Assistant. My duties include serving customers in the store, helping them find what they are looking for, recommending new products, educating them about various items, and providing an unforgettable shopping experience. In addition to customer service, I also maintain the store and its warehouse in order, receive deliveries, and stock them in the store. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why? I would definitely choose to stay and live in Latvia. There are many opportunities for growth, wonderful nature, culture, and most importantly – very delicious food! Is there a characteristic you would like to change about yourself? Why? I consider myself a patient person, but if there’s one trait I’d like to improve, it would be to become even more patient. I believe that having a little more patience would allow me to handle challenging situations with greater calm and understanding, and help me grow both personally and professionally. What is your favorite feature of yourself that you are most proud of? My favourite feature that I’m most proud of is my communication skills. I’m a very sociable person, and I can easily adapt to different conversations and topics, no matter how diverse they are. What is your greatest fear in life? My greatest fear in life would be not growing or developing as a person, not becoming a better version of myself. Growth, self-improvement, and personal development are some of the most important aspects of life for me. I believe that continually evolving is essential to becoming the best version of ourselves, and the idea of stagnating or not reaching my full potential is something that I would find truly frightening. Is there a talent you wish you had? It’s not so much a talent, more like a superpower, but if I could, I’d love to be able to talk and understand animals. They have their own unique way of seeing the world, but since they can’t tell us directly how they feel or what they need, it would be incredible to bridge that gap. I think it would lead to a deeper connection with them and a better understanding of the natural world around us. Who is your favorite historical hero, from the past or present? My favourite historical hero would have to be Leonardo da Vinci. He wasn’t just an artist, but also an inventor, scientist, and thinker who constantly pushed the boundaries of what was possible in his time. I admire his curiosity and the way he combined art with science to create incredible works and ideas that were far ahead of his era. What qualities do you most value in a friend? The qualities I value most in a friend are honesty, loyalty, and a good sense of humor. I believe honesty is the foundation of any strong relationship, and loyalty shows that someone will stand by your side no matter what. A sense of humor is equally important because it makes even the toughest moments easier to handle and keeps the friendship fun. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be and why? Honestly, if I had to choose, I wouldn't really change anything about myself. I believe that all of my strengths and flaws make me who I am, and part of the beauty of life is constantly learning and growing. Instead of wishing to change something, I’d rather focus on becoming a better version of myself every day. What is your favourite activity to do in your free time? In my free time, which I don’t have a lot of, I really enjoy staying at home and watching Netflix. However, I also love outdoor activities when I can. Exploring new places I haven’t seen before and creating great memories is something I find really fulfilling. What is your biggest regret in life? I try not to dwell on regrets because I believe that every experience, even the mistakes, has shaped who I am today. Instead of focusing on regrets, I see them as lessons that helped me grow. If I had to choose, maybe it would be not taking certain opportunities sooner, but at the same time, I trust that everything happens for a reason and in its own time. Can you share with us the place and time where you felt the happiest? I don’t have one specific place where I’ve felt the happiest, because for me, it’s not so much about the location but the people I’m with. When I’m surrounded by loved ones, any place can feel like the happiest. Do you have a slogan or motto that has motivated you throughout your life? Just keep going!!!!
