YOU NEVER STOP LEARNING: A VALEDICTORY SPEECH

March 21, 2013 | 45

Now that I am not getting any younger, I realized that it’s something you can’t avoid and that it’s everywhere. You’ve got statistics that you need to meet for you to retain your job.

In accordance with the pact I made with myself and that is to update my blog with contents/articles on a weekly basis, let me wrap up the month right with this long-overdue introduction. Why? The site has been up since 2009 and yet no one knows how I landed writing a travelogue.
