Life takes you to places you want to go
It's 5 PM in Malaysia today, I'm walking down the street to pick up my kid from the kindergarten. Normal day - passing the shops, ignoring the whistling of local workers, enjoy the sunshine and feel with every cell: "Today is my lucky day (if I was a horse even my hooves would be smiling - W-I-D-E)!"
Life is such an adventure that you don't even need Malaysia to make your head spin (though I admit - it does add some extra spice to everything).
Here comes 2009, already turning out exactly the way I wanted it to -- and yet making me watching it coming with my jaw dropped open in surprise.
Today was the first official meeting of project Gifted - short as hell and yet leaving me with a overwhelming excitement about the coming year. Project Gifted is actually a new sister-company of MindValley, started by MindValley founders Mike-Vishen and a third mastermind - Melissa, my soon-to-be direct boss from US, amazing entrepreneur and mother of 2 girls.
It's thoroughly dedicated to ensure that future generations wouldn't lose their genius abilities such as natural curiosity, creativity, intuition and many other things that get lost in the system (yeah, I know, I've cursed the education system many times before, won't start here again). We're starting with a documentary together with Gary Goldstein and are already hiring new people to grow fast in 2009 into a leading internet business in our field.
And the whole thing starts right now, in January, a few months after I was hired to MindValley. What would be the odds? As a single mother crazy about human development, learning and education I couldn't imagine a better place for me.
So until April when MindValley moves to the new office I'm sharing my time between Gifted and MindValley and after this stay working with a small team in the current MindValley office. My role reminds me pretty much the things I was doing as MCP in AIESEC Estonia, with the difference it's focused on education, it's based in an unknown country and the membership is OUT THERE in internet.
So it is - life takes you to places where you want to go, ready or not:)
Revisiting my main professional goal for 2009 - it's simply to become one hell of an internet marketer focused specifically on education.
Yeah, I'm just awed today, so reporting about the details of my work a bit later.

Dear lady, Gifted project sounds extremely interesting! so waiting for details:)
Dear girl, can, can (as they say here in Malaysia:))
Hey tsikka, mul Sulle puhtalt tehnilist laadi küsimus - kuidas Sa neid Youtube'i videosid saad oma postitustele lisada? Ma juba mitmendat korda ei suuda välja nuputada seda... Avita, kaunitar!
:D
Pole probleemi, tehnilised küsimused on mu esmaspäevane dessert:) Väga lihtne - YouTubest avad loo ja ekraani paremast servast leiad koha EMBED. Selle lingi lihtsalt kopeerid oma blogipostitussse ja video ilmub automaatselt blogisse.
PS: Mis sa nii varakult üleval teed?
Hei, proovin kohe järgi! Tänud! Eh, mis ma nii vara üleval teen - pigem, miks ma pole veel magama läinud... Kas ma seda rääkisin Sulle, et ma lähen 31. jaanuarist Kolumbiasse EVS-i pooleks aastaks tegema? See on see põhjus - 100 tööd enne vaja lõpetada ja kokku wrappid. Rännusellid, ühenegem! ;)
Ahjaa, Siiri olen ;) ainult noorteka kasutaja alt :D
