Mindset
I believe that the most valuable skill in life is the ability to solve problems and tackle them with a positive attitude, and as such molded my attitude and mindset to be inline with this philosophy. This paired with relentless hard work and a collaborative spirit to value the interest of the team set the foundations of my recipe to achieving and excelling in life. I do, however, believe that luck plays a significant aspect in various aspects in life, but nevertheless emphasize that making the best decision at every crossroad is the only way to transcend this element in life. I also firmly believe in the law of large numbers, advocating for relentless effort and multiple attempts and acknowledge that learning often involves making mistakes and feeling uncomfortable, recognizing that competence is achieved through persistence and a willingness to learn from failures.
