CEO Message

I started my own business at around 22 and have been at it ever since. Of course I notice the success stories around me - Tesla, AlphaGo, the rest.
But in the end I have only my own road. The grass really does look greener on the other side, and I know all I can do is grind it out steadily - and yet, I keep asking myself the same question: "Is this really enough? Is this really what you set out to do?"

I'm not the type to say "Don't worry. Leave it to me, I've got this." Though sometimes that attitude does produce good results.
The truth is - there isn't one. There's no single correct answer. No single correct image of a CEO, no single correct answer in business.

Stay fluid, somehow plant your feet, wait for the chance, cling to it for dear life - and repeat.
It's not smart, it's not cool, but I want to walk tall doing it, and I want us to be that kind of group.
That belief hasn't changed. Which is why these next words sit here.

When I was young, I thought I could do everything. But I couldn't.
Because I had no money, no power, no chance, nothing.
But I only had myself, that is clumsy, so young, poor ...
It's real. No other way. It's my life. Then what can I do?
Let's think again. Then I tried everything even if I knew it would be failed.
I knew I should do something which nobody thought about.
Patience, ignorance, avarice and intelligence were always my lovers.
AS YOU KNOW I AM NOT STEVE JOBS BUT WHO CAN STOP ME EVEN SO?
