S. is 24. Young, frighteningly smart, and critical. He’s had the privilege of studying in a prestigious university abroad for all his 4 years of undergraduate studies, but then returned to Romania. To achieve stuff. Instead of taking over a successful family business (he had both the skills and the guts to do it), he started working for a renowned multinational company. Buying at times bossied around, but learning a lot. Being inspired. I like his intelligence. A lot.
R. had his own human resources/ marketing/ recruiting company. He had opened up the business, together with three other friends and associates when they were all 23. They were quite successful in their endeavour. They calmly froze it all and started working for successful multinational corporations, doing mainly what they were trained to do, i.e. engineering. R is now 25, earning a lot of money, trully enjoying his job (he’s really passionate about it) and he’s climbing up the corporate ladder. I admire him for his passion.
V. is in his late twenties now. He was an online entrepreneur (basically among the first ones in Romania), and was becoming damn successful – in terms of money and recognition. He sold his online business (one of the first moves of its kind in Romania) and moved to New York to work for what employees worldover termed as “the best workplace in the world”. He enjoys his life a lot. I admire his happiness.
R. is 22. He’s been running an organization for 2 or 3 years now. It started off as a partnership, but the commitment and the resources he invested in the business sort of make him its real heart and soul. He would never give up. He’s learning it the hard way. But he’s gone a long way. Not always completing projects, and learning more from mistakes than from achieved objectives. No rules, just obstacles and joy. Worries travel all the way from strategy concerns, to paying utilities and writing checks. I admire him. A hell of a lot. No further ado on this one.
lol@r.
@cosmin.. felt the need to make an addition. check out the post now. i don’t think “lol” is the right exclamation here.
Ii identific pe toti cei descrisi de tine. Sunt sigura ca in spatele alegerilor facute sunt momente de cumpana, de punere in balanta, de calcat pe inima, de respirat adanc si de mers inainte. Iar ca raspuns: alegem lucrurile care vorbesc cel mai bine despre nevoile noastre si despre aspiratiile pe care le avem la un moment dat. Si astea se schimba la intervale constante.
you don’t know why i lolled
