That’s the one question to always remind me of our meeting with the Afronaut – and, as Erin Classen puts it, the boss of Hip2b2. Yes, meeting Mark Shuttleworth was a very inspiring day. But every time we meet someone, attend a seminar or read a book that inspires us, the most remarkable moment is not in the meeting itself, but in the afterparty …
What exactly will you do to put into practice what you’ve been inspired to do? Mark told 14 learners to stay curious and that he always tries to do the next thing that scares and excites him the most. My brother is about to embark on his next scary but ultimately exciting venture when he exchanges marriage vows with the love of his life. Now that’s quite inspiring; to see two people pledge to stick it out together and do whatever it takes to make each other happy.
My next scary, exciting venture? Mmm … watch this space … (How’s that for a boring, safe answer?)
