“Opportunities don't fall into your lap and lead you onto the right track, you have to create the opportunities yourself”

These are the words my mother said to me when I was a teenager. It has inspired me in life and I in turn say the following to my own teenagers, and I live as I teach.

‍

- Do not think that someone else will solve your problems, you should do it yourself.

- Don't wait for the chance, take it when you have it.

- Nothing happens if you don't do something.

- Empty barrels rattle the most.

- Say YES, life will be more fun then.

- Above all, choose a path and believe in it, that's when you will make a difference.

- Think for yourself but create together with others.

Old cliches may be thought of, but still words that matter if you make any of them. It is from these that I myself have created my path, my life. I have made many mistakes, but also many rights. The road or really the roads that have been many have given me an interesting and damn fun life. To never sit still and really dare to do what I want to do, believe in or just have an idea about.

Take a little step forward each day and you will change your life a lot. Dare, try!

I believe in the power of man together. This is my strongest drive to develop our amazing Earth. An earth of cruel nature, an amazing animal and plant life, endless of exciting places, an incredible number of wonderful cultures, but above all a plethora of wonderful and driven people. All of these people will need each other to develop your and my future place and opportunity on this earth.

I believe that we need to work together physically to continue our interesting and exciting journey together. Working from home gives us the freedom to devote our time to ourselves and to our family and friends to a greater extent and we should do that, but we also need to meet physically. The dynamic created in physical meetings will never be the same in an online meeting. I love online meetings because they are time efficient but they can never give me what a physical encounter gives me.

I believe that our common workplaces will also be important in the future. We may not need all the office space we have today but we will need to come together, for our development it is important. We don't evolve at home at the kitchen table to the same extent. I need you and you need me, live with it, and enjoy each other more. It'll be a lot more fun then.
