There’s a saying in project management, or even the corporate world, that you should under promise but overdeliver, i.e. you say you can do something by the end of the week but you try to finish it even earlier, for example by the middle of the week, or even earlier, like the end of the…
Sometimes dreams are just that, dreams. There are times in life that you have to sacrifice your time and effort towards your dream, in order to help others in need, or to further their dream.
