A Note from the CEO

I've been reflecting a lot on patience lately. On the chessboard, when I spot a brilliant move, I can't help but feel a surge of excitement. Over the years, I've perfected my poker face, concealing that thrill. However, in everyday life, mastering the art of patience remains a challenge. When I see an opportunity, I want to dive in headfirst and embrace it immediately. But sometimes, it's crucial to pause, deliberate, and wait. Is this the best moment for this opportunity? What am I missing? Patience, after all, is a virtue both on and off the chessboard.
