I am often asked what SUCCESS means to me.
Here is my answer:
Reaching an ambitious goal while keeping my own character and adhering to high ethical standardsππβοΈ
Take a Pause, but Don't Put a Full Stop
Dear Friends,
In Aug 1982 I was driving together with my fiance towards the North Cape by car. It was a very old car which I bought for around USD 1,500.-. When we arrived in Trondheim, my intuition told me that this car would not make it to the North Cape and back. So I had to make a decision to stop our journey and to return to Switzerland. When we arrived in my hometown, Sattel, Switzerland, the car seized to start up ever again.
On 23 Sep 2021, after 39 years, I finally arrived by car together with my wife (my fiance at the time of our first attempt) at the North Cape. It was such a great feeling! A 39 year old dream come trueπβοΈ I had an overwhelming joy of self-fulfillment and happiness that I did not give up on my dream all those years until it came trueπβοΈπβοΈπβοΈ.
With this in mind, I encourage you, when your path feels like a struggle and your dream seems like light years away, it is okay to take a pause. As we journey through the ebbs & flows of life, we may find ourselves reaching our dream at the most unexpected time in the most fulfilling way πβοΈπβοΈπβοΈ.
Warm regards,
ErnstππβοΈ
