Thank you 42 to Helen Pendry who introduced me to the Hitchhiker's Guide and will forever be associated with this mystical number in my mind. She offered me a place to stay in London, wrote empowering letters and let me hold her son. How magical! What a friend.
My mom sent a card composed by Myra Zirkle. To avoid copyright infringement, I will paraphrase here: Life is what happens while we're busy making other plans. Sometimes you lose the roadmap, and somebody messes with the spark plugs. But you don't quit and say "whatever", you rethink the dream, find the courage to set off again, take a detour, or find a new road. Heck, the possibilities are endless. Maybe you'll even land a more scenic route! As long as you keep moving, you're bound to land somewhere.
Just enjoy the journey for it's part of who you'll be when you get there.
Be where you are and do what you do.
Wenn es so aussieht, als ob die Sache schief geht, muss das nicht den Garaus für deine Träume bedeuten, sondern könnte eine Gelegenheit sein, weiter zu gehen, etwas Neues zu entdecken und, wer weiss, im Prozess jemand Neues zu werden?
Auf ein gelungenes Unternehmen Leben!
