What is the hardest life hurdle you’ve gone through and what did you take away from it?

I spent 4 years working towards a business projects in the pharmaceutical/ bio chemical field, however at the end it didn’t work out. During these times, I worked nonstop, did lots of research and studies, very little sleep. Although it didn’t work out, during the process, I had learnt how to write business plans, business strategies planning and a bit of finance which I can apply for my current project, so after all this hurdle had become a great learning experience to get me ready for my next move. Which is now.

Besides to be good at what you do, people and work ethic are equally important. Which is a skill by itself
