"The Moment that you give up is the moment that you let someone else win"
Since I was a kid, I knew that my best skill was to be persistent; I guess this is why I have been successful in Sports, School and at home. I started to practice Judo since I was four and my mother always told me that I would not win every single fight or tournament that I had; at first I didn't believe that but as I started to grow up I realised that it was true. Accepting this made me become stronger and gave me the capacity to learn or get feedback without getting mad; learning from my errors. The Innovation Academy has also proven me this is correct and has made me learn more than I thought I could learn in just 4 months. A lot more!
Cool things I have learned in the Innovation Academy!
