Text written by Eugénia Branco, one of the 16 participants of the class “Profile of an Entrepreneur” by ANJE, taken in January 2014 in S. Mamede de Infesta, Matosinhos.
Seven sessions of sharing and knowledge. The knowledge of the “I” and the “you”. Moved by a glorifying sun, even in rainy days, by an energy extended by magnets that made us say what was in our souls. Edite, the Sun, and we the Little Plants yearning to get that Sun, to Grow. And how Much we Grew!
And we made ourselves into a Team, all on the same level, we opened ourselves as the water lily when it catches the first sunlight, and we told our lives’ stories. Without prejudices, judgments or comparisons. But with the persistency and attitude necessary to Think, Learn, Intervene, Create and Construct.
And this was a Journey full of life and motivation for what lies ahead. A quest for feelings hidden within the soul, but ready to blossom. A will and the belief that the everyday struggle for our Passions is the starting point to attain them. Those who do with pleasure walk Happier.
With an enormous drive to get to know everyone better and to do whatever we please, to enjoy life. But also to be mindful that there will be plenty of obstacles and trials to overcome. And we are not lacking weapons! The skill of patience and wisdom to always Believe and Want much and evermore. Searching for our Happiness and Passions. The Attitude to Change and Build and Listen to Other people, the Other people being all of Us.
Knowing how to stop and Think and Feel Life whenever needed. To appraise our path so we can change and grow from mistakes and failures, and be able to keep to that path, always searching for something better, without slackening our pace. Being positive and trusting ourselves.
I learned that being an entrepreneur is all of this! If we can Shout when we have to, Cry when we need to, and keep Get up again to keep on, all of us entrepreneurs, at least of our own lives.
Thank you Edite, for all your carefulness, for your hugs, for the Sun you give out and you rub off on me. You taught me to be better me…”
