Do something awesome – everyday
My co-founder gave me a challenge. To do something awesome everyday. He thinks I have done something awesome in the past and I am capable to do it plus all I need to do is to keep doing something awesome everyday. I have been thinking and working on it. It is so incredibly hard even for an Einstein to find a new e=mc^2 every day. I think my co-founder didn't talk about the result. Do something awesome everyday - is about [...]
