Some wise words
Mathematics, like no other subject, requires an unflinching honesty: the ability to admit to oneself (and to others) that one does not know, does not understand, cannot do something.
— from ucze-sie.pl by Paweł Strzelecki (translated by DeepL)
Exploring mathematics sooner or later must lead to practicing it for its own sake.
– from the book “Bóg i geometria” by Michał Heller (translated by DeepL)
Everything you can imagine is real.

About my name
From Wikipedia
Sławomir is an Old Polish male [hence, I am male] given name of Slavic origin consists of two parts: “sława/slava” - glory, fame and “mir” - world, peace, prestige.
The short version, “Sławek”, is an abbreviation pretty much the same as “Alex” is for “Alexander”. It is not a diminutive form.
Some approximations of the pronunciation
Phonetic: my first name /swavɛk/ or /swavɔmir/ and my last name /kɔlaɕiɲski/
English: Swavek or Swavomir - “Sła” = “swa” as in “swan”
Français: Soiwek ou Soiwomir - “Sła” = “soi” comme dans le mot “soixante”
Deutsch: Suawek oder Suawomir - “Sła” = “sua”; “ł” = kurzes “u” wie in “Maus”
Русский: Сльавэк или Сльавомир
