Early Thanksgiving Appreciation: Thursday, November 26
I think I should be more thankful to all the positive influences in my life. If I forgot to thank someone it may be purely accidental Without further ado, I’d like to thank all of the following people (while preserving confidentiality):
- Banks for providing me with the credit card facility I needed to start my business
- Technological innovations which I’ve leveraged to build companies
- Chess and video games for teaching about strategy
- My father, mother, and one of my siblings who have been very trusting, generous and supportive despite coming from a humble immigrant background
- My business partners who I expect to become increasingly successful who also believe in treating all stakeholders well
- My team members who I’ve trusted for years and produce amazing quality work
- All of my suppliers I used who have been very reliable and honest
- All of my customers who trust the products/services I provided
- All of my expert advisers
- Philanthropists who sacrifice lifestyle to continue re-investing and solving hard problems instead of coasting on their previous success
- Entrepreneurs who I’ve supported and want to help succeed
- Scientists who apply their problem solving skills
- Multiple countries that have been open for business and entrepreneurship
I simply posted this to remind myself on all the positive influences. I think the common element of the people I’m thankful for are people who are hard working and want to solve problems.
