My father, shaped me into a dedicated man with an entrepreneurial flair and strategic vision (perhaps my strongest business influence). My sister imparted the value of dance and dreaming. My grandparents gave me lots of love and happy memories. My debate coach taught me to listen, to argue, to negotiate and to project. My uncle let me know that family is always there for you, my friends that their support is constant despite geographical boundaries. My grandfather taught me to be proud and appreciate, my family to appreciate nature and, and my late grandmother showed me you could die with dignity and live on in the hearts and souls of those around you. My friends taught me ( you guys included, thanks a lot) about gnomes and faeries, Reach out and expand my horizons, discover inner spirituality and guide me to my inner self, Also about multi-tasking and pushing the boundaries, and mainly about being proud and following your heart (thats the only mistake I made here). All my friends they have been there for years as friends reciprocally to share celebrations, to help embrace shortcomings (which you all have helped as well), to lend a hand, provide a shoulder and offer me an insight. There are others I don't personally know who have molded me; women like Kim Polese, Martha Stewart, Oprah Winfrey, Katherine Mwanamwambu, and others have touched me with the knowledge that as individuals and as both women and men - we can overcome - we can succeed, prosper and thrive!
Several men and women I know have truly prospered in business - and some have not, I've learned from them all (and most of them probably don't know it). My friends and family keep teaching me the value of enjoying life, they keep my feet firmly planted on the ground, and they nourish the essence of my being! And you guys have taught me something that will influence me continuously, shaping every day...........of my life. Thanks and I would just like to say that this is the last of me, no………I am not running to another site but till I come out of this phase I will remain glued to my work………….I should not have wandered…………….once again thanks a lot to all of you kind folks and do take care of your selves.
Good bye. God bless.
