<div>From these experiences my values inspire me to continue learning with a focus on some ways and means as guidelines to a wonderful life :</div>
<div>*Start with a perspective that a goal is not simply to apply best practice but to invent it. It's all about the personal, professional and planetary upgrade!</div>
<div>*Breakthrough ideas often result from the commitment of teams seeking to creatively solve challenges.</div>
<div>*Let things grow slowly. Small accrued gains make a powerful impact.</div>
<div>*Less is more.</div>
<div><em>When we want to build a ship, do not call forth everyone to collect wood, and do not assign tasks and work. Rather let's inspire a longing for that beautiful immensity of the deep and endless sea. People, believers, will come.</em></div>
