No longer no longer riding on the merry-go-round

No, there is no typo in the title.

In the past months, I spent my time observing, reading, talking, thinking, meeting, etc. – anything that will help me understand what the next step is. My beloved wife called my state-of-mind “Hakuna Matata”.   I shared some of my experience with you through this site (not too much I hope, but  I also feel I could have shared more).

Recently I am involved in the inception of a new venture – devising and developing a consumer product that will change the world (yeah, yeah, this is only the 20th time you hear such a statement today…). Well, I really believe we are onto something good. I could reveal more, but then I will have to kill you.

While I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up, I have a good feeling about this venture, and if there is something I learned in the past  months and years is to follow my gut feeling and to do whatever feels good. So far, I enjoy every bit of it – and it means a lot to me.

Another lesson I learned is that while I have to be 100% dedicated to anything I do (as I always do) – one should not be totally immersed in a single thing. I know it sounds like a contradiction, but I’ve learned that you live only once – and you should find the time for your family as well as for other areas of interest and possibly contribute where you can to others (I still need to work on this part, I confess).

Why do I tell it to you? Since you (my subscribers, all 14 of you +RSS readers) followed me for the last six months – read, commented and supported and I think you should know about my change from me, and not from the “Linked-In news” weekly email.

So now you know. What I can promise is that I will not cease to observe. I will try to continue  posting on what I do and see – I enjoy this part. The posting frequency might be lower – but I will do my best.

Now look again at the post title and now you understand that there is no mistake in it…

Thank you !

  2. The secret is in knowing how long to stay on, when to get out, and how to have fun on the merry-go-round (and outside of it!).

    Enjoy the journey!

    • And we always need to make sure not too eat too much before we go on board the merry-go-round 🙂
      Thank you !

  3. congatulations!
    I did not even think for a minutes that you will give up the opportunity to come up with something new.
    (The NII experience was certainly a good sign of the coming !)
    Best luck!

  4. My dear friend,
    Please do keep watching the wheels from time to time.
    It is part of our whole existence – balancing 3 different rolls: enjoying the trip while improving, meeting challenges and knowing our limits and observing the process from a certain distance.

    Doing so, please don’t forget to enjoy EVERYTHING, every minute!

    Lot’s and lot’s of luck!

    One last thing to share with you is a great article I bumped into accidentally today from a great man (Simon Sinek, Start with WHY): “If You Don’t Understand People, You Don’t Understand Business” – You might find it inspiring.

    GOOD LUCK!
    Adi
