Life is all about coming full circle

04 March 2015

To come full circle is to complete a cycle of transition, returning to where one started after gaining experience or exploring other things. I don’t know if you are like me but lately I would look around at different mediums like movies, television, art and even restaurants and say to myself I think I have been here before or seen this before but just in a different way. There exist a theory that life is based on a circular pattern of happen stance which repeats itself every 10 years or so and in order to find out what happens next one only has to look at the previous cycle.

Everything is amped up!! Food that used to taste good now it’s amazing. Movies use to be great but today through the help of technology and digital enhancements they are mind blowing. Television at best was entertaining but today TV is compelling, between amazing content and wonderful HD picture home television has become a worthwhile experience with shows like Empire and Nat Geo Wild it’s hard to dismiss television today as a waste of time. Can you imagine 10 years from now where we will be based on where we were 10 years prior? The possibilities are limitless.

I think it is important to remember what we set out to do and make sure we finish what we start. I saw a business model about 23 years ago when we were just starting out and I wanted to base a company on that model. 23 years later here we are. I have totally come full circle. (Luckily, I found the right business partner) While it was not easy (mind you it is never is easy) the experiences this journey has provided are invaluable. To be cynical about life is a waste of our opportunity to push life forward, if you read about the historical experiences of many families who immigrated to North America and the struggles and hardships they endured in order to give their families back home a better life. It kind of makes you appreciate that today all we have to do is read a bunch of books and follow a curriculum and we can probably support our families reasonably well.

Today it’s really hard to find a good fit in the work place while we transition from brick and mortar to the technological way of doing things. There are definitely going to be pit stops at jobs that are simply a means to an end and where you’d rather be anywhere else but there. That is just life. Over the next 10 years the world is going to open up and dealing with Africa will be just as easy as dealing with New York. The only question we need to ask ourselves is: Are we brave enough to come out on top of this next growth cycle?

“I at length reached the last house but one, where the path to the summit diverged to the right, while the summit itself rose directly in front. But I determined to follow up the valley to its head, and then find my own route up the steep as the shorter and more adventurous way. I had thoughts of returning to this house, which was well kept and so nobly placed, the next day, and perhaps remaining a week there, if I could have entertainment. Its mistress was a frank and hospitable young woman, who stood before me in a dishabille, busily and unconcernedly combing her long black hair while she talked, giving her head the necessary toss with each sweep of the comb, with lively, sparkling eyes, and full of interest in that lower world from which I had come, talking all the while as familiarly as if she had known me for years, and reminding me of a cousin of mine. She at first had taken me for a student from Williamstown, for they went by in parties, she said, either riding or walking, almost every pleasant day, and were a pretty wild set of fellows; but they never went by the way I was going.”
~Henry David Thoreau

Mathematics … would certainly have not come into existence if one had known from the beginning that there was in nature no exactly straight line, no actual circle, no absolute magnitude.
