…are you ready for life?

welcome to a new chapter

a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step…

…today is your first step!

Page 3: Dear interns

your first step towards the mountain? what’s your mountain?

Page 4: Dear interns

a good mountain… but good is boring…

never settle for good, have super high expectations of ‘good’!

why be good when you can be great? how about awesome?

Page 5: Dear interns

but great doesn’t happen…

“greatness is not a function of circumstance. greatness, it turns out, is largely a matter of conscious choice, and discipline.” 

― Jim Collins

add passion and hard-work to the mix

Page 6: Dear interns

what about luck? really?

being at the right place at the right time, luck? ofcourse there is such a thing as luck but you have to get up to be at the right place, right
