Right now you have received probably dozens or hundreds of new year greetings, wishing you good health, prosperity, and containing half the positive words from the dictionary.
We start 2021, and as we get more mature personally and hopefully collectively, we notice that every year time is speeding.
And so 2021 might just go in the blink of an eye.
Therefore, let’s just enjoy each day as they come by doing a bit better than the day before, regardless of the vicissitudes of life.
Let us reflect daily, even for one minute on how we can make our lives more meaningful and more impactful for the ones around us.
In a few years we will look back and be amazed by the progress made.
In 2021, we still believe we are only at 5% of our potential regarding the value we provide to our startups. This is not because we haven’t evolved since 2007 but because our horizons have expanded.
Let us keep on expanding them.
A last look to the past ⌛
Rewinding 2020! ⏪
