Work Background
Hopefully to be discovered soon...Taking some time to give things a place
Feb. 2024Everywhere the future takes me to!"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get" is one of my favourite lines of Forrest Gump. I am giving past events a place as they have impacted everything and everyone close to me in the last months. I was never more sure about my Ikigai, which is Innovation!
I am fully aware that my brain functions as it has been functioning for the last 56 years...
Nothing will change on that front, and I will no longer put that under the carpet anymore!
Looking forward to a bright future!
