The mind is like a parachute

My mom tells me during our arguments: The mind is like a parachute. It works best when it is open. I keep this in mind when I wear the entrepreneur hat. I can't seem to fully dispel notions of proven business successes (I'm looking at you, Peter Drucker) and wholeheartedly jump into the possibilities of 2013. My experiences in Singapore and China, however, introduced me to creative structures and operations, so it is not a culture shock to see diverse practices. Still, I tread carefully when applying it to my own, keeping in mind that the things we decide now may form the main pillars of our business. 

I've found that it's best to find a compromise on ideas. On times I am proven wrong, I look forward to how it can make our company better, and think of it as conditioning for bigger challenges and larger decisions.

Hoping we’ll land safely. //FR
