Many years ago, during a radio interview, I was asked what my key to success was.
After reflecting for few seconds, I responded that every day I woke up with the intention to be better than yesterday and that inspiration kept me going through out the day. What I came to realize later on, was the fact that I was inspired and motivated to find new ways to serve better and the desire to embrace the best attributes of the people I admired the most.
Inspired by Nelson Mandela, I remind myself that nothing is impossible and we are the leaders of our soul. With that in mind, every obstacle to accomplish a goal, is converted into an opportunity to achieve even higher results. Every instant is a learning opportunity.

Leonardo Da Vinci, letting his curiosity flow and constantly immerse in the many expressions of geniality. Remain curious, leave the "I know" at the door and open your mind to the many ideas coming from everyone, including the space you create for new ones coming from you.
My grand-fathers, both entrepreneurs in their own towns, reinventing themselves with every business. Unstoppably working in new ideas and recognizing when the wind has changed to move into another direction.
