What is the single most important thing you have learned in the last year?
It’s safe to say that we’ve all learned a lot over the years. But what is that one significant thing you learned and are proud of?
My most significant learning is to be open to changes and embrace change. Live fearlessly, for life is not the be-all, just a path to a new life.

All certainty is an illusion. All control is a delusion.
Life is unpredictable. Don't burn bridges, but don't be too nice either, or you'll be the bridge that's on fire.
Show up every day. Consistency beats talent in the long run.
@g_m_mehdi, I can not agree more with your first statement. According to Kenneth, Living under the illusion of certainty can prove catastrophic.
@ajinkya_chikhale03 So profound. Our present is the most neglected time of our life. We are either stuck in the past or worried about the future.
Consistency is what separates a man from a boy.
At start-ups, the bottleneck is never on thoughts but always on execution. Hence, it is super important to get up every day and execute heads down.
I used to be able to work endless hours to accomplish everything on my to do. At this stage in my life with little kids, I simply can't (and don't want to) work around the clock. I need to be smarter about prioritizing my work, saying no to doing somethings, and simply be where my feet are (focus on work when I'm working, but make my focus my kids when I'm with them).
You can't control everything, you have to be prepared for the unexpected. Or at least accept it without panic.
"Potentissimus est qui se hаbеt in potestate."
Last year I fully accepted stoicism.
I realized that I was only in control of my own choices. I choose how to react to this or that circumstances, this or that situations. Everything else is beyond my sphere of influence and responsibility. And only by developing and expanding my area of responsibility I will be able to make more choices, and the spectrum of what I can influence will grow with me.
This change of mindset has helped me find spiritual peace and motivation to achieve the ambitious goals I set for myself. I began to see the world more clearly and to focus on what I could change myself and not get bogged down by the chaos that surrounds us in our daily lives.
I recommend reading "How to Be a Stoic" book by Massimo Pigliucci and "The Daily Stoic" book by Ryan Holiday. You can also read "The Daily Stoic Journal: 366 Days of Writing and Reflection on the Art of Living" book by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman. In the last book, you can keep your own stoic journal, answering one philosophical question each day.

The email sign off with the highest response rate is "cheers." I always thought people who said cheers were super cool, but I felt like I needed to stay professional and use "best."
Not anymore - my default is now "Cheers" :)
