Inspiring and Inspired
I got an email from my MIT professor for the FinTech Future Commerce studies where professor David Shrier at the end of the email, asked us a few questions. Five questions which are important for us to answer. I decided to share with you those questions.
One fine morning, preferably today morning, ask yourself the following;
Are you open to possibility?
Are you cultivating people you like?
Have you abandoned fear?
Are you making a difference?
How are you inspiring others?
If you are able to answer those questions already, then go out there and meet as many people as you can and inspire someone today!
A good event to join in would be the Engineers with Borders event upcoming in Belgium on 21st September, 2017. The conference has a theme "Engineer, Actors of Change" to discuss the place of the engineer in society by inviting various speakers who can inspire you!
