My object
The item that has been with me the longest is undoubtedly my glasses. I started wearing them when I started primary school. They literally change the way I see the world. Some days it's duller, others clearer. I remember looking at the trees after I started wearing my glasses and thinking.... ahhh that's what the leaves look like....
I can't see much without them, but I can drive by intuition. Just like in life. The hazy things that sometimes seem like a blur in the distance turn into something beautiful up close. Sometimes, even without seeing, without being sure, we risk the leap. Just like in life. Just like in business. So far so good!
