Hi everyone,
So much happened since my last post, me going in Menorca for holidays just after signing for a new company, France losing to Portugal the Euro’s final. I was watching the game with my girlfriend from a bar called Su Païssa. We were chilling and drinking, having a good time then Eder’s goal happened. I was a bit pissed by how I felt Les Bleus gave the title to Portugal but happy for Cristiano Ronaldo. This guy probably never even dreamt he would ever get a major gold with his national team, and I have the utmost respect for the hard work and dedication he puts in the game.
Hard work and dedication are values that I believe should always be rewarded or at least recognised. It does not matter that it is football or work, if values that allow moving forward are promoted a business can go forth and grow in a virtuous circle. The more recognition for one’s quality work, the more quality work will follow. It is not the only thing that matters though but it plays a big part. Those are thing that I deem essential whenever I sit behind a keyboard or stand in front of a whiteboard.
Dedication is what wakes you up every single morning and go get more and more information about the world around you so you can adapt to it and think about a way to make it better. Hard work is the application of that dedication in your work wether it is personal or commercial. Often after a lot of time offering that dedication and hard work to a party the time may come to move on to a different challenge. A challenge that may be more rewarding at multiple levels.
After a few weeks of search I was trying to find an environment that would allow me to express my skillset to the fullest. An environment where I would be able to take on challenges nobody else tackles. An environment where hardwork and dedication would be rewarded. An environment where I would be back on tracks with my planned learning curve. An environment where I would have a highly talented team to help me progress as an engineer, as a developer and as a person. I can happily announce that I found such an environment as I signed a contract with Poq last Thursday.
Now I am enjoying a well deserved holiday in Menorca with my girlfriend before going back to London for a last week at Lodgeo. Menorca, sweet little island near Majorca in Spain. Menorca where I have the best of views whenever I wake up and do not think about anything else, just clearing my head. Menorca where I am writing this article. You were free to stop reading after the Poq announcement. Bonus for the patient readers, a selfie with my girlfriend having drinks.
