It never truly made sense until I gave up […]
I have asked myself several times why it is important to keep score of success and to continuously remind myself about the “why” I do what I do. Exactly September 2010, we started our Project Management (PM) class not having an idea where it will lead us – our mission was simple – provide quality […]

It wasn’t as if we had anything to worry about since the school routine forces us to be […]
There are two schools of thought concerning chasing your dreams; chase your dream and the money will follow or chase the money and the dream will follow. At exactly this date, 5 years ago, I wanted to be a Novelist but the economic realities were too strong to attempt such dreams. I don’t know if […]

I joined Rotary Club last year and it has been a great ride for me – their motto “Service above Self” resonates with my core belief.
