8 lessons I learnt from the U.S. election 2020

It is not very often during this year I woke up feeling as excited or to seeing a hope becoming reality. Thanks to the U.S. elections, it instilled in me faith that there are still wonderful things to look forward to in 2020 🙂

1. Hard work pays, like no other.
2. Though it may be easier and something so natural to choose partnering with someone who is like you. Looks, talks and behaves like you. It is Important to value how a diverse partnership can enrich this experience for you and for all those involved.
3. Age is just a number. Having said that, energy and longevity is everything!
4. You can be part of or lead a great change at any age.
5. Grit and Perseverance is key to achieving dreams.
6. If your dreams is what drives you, any amount of hardwork in the right direction , will only be time invested and never time wasted.
7. Believe in yourself for others to believe in you.
8. In a room (these days in virtual meetings), it is not uncommon to find yourself being the only women (or gender represented in minority) or from minority ethnicities or sometimes both. That shouldn’t stop from your voice being heard where it matters.
