"Passion for new horizons empowers us to rise above the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary." - J.M. Barrie
Here, I primarily share my thoughts on future energy, leadership, software and technologies, business strategies, international corporate careers, and some life philosophies.
I also share many personal stories that have changed my perspective on the world. While I do not intend these stories to serve as advice or guidance, I have learned a lot from others by applying my personal filter to determine what is worth absorbing and what is not. I hope you do the same.
