Apres la pluie vient le beau temps…

Thursday, December 11th, 2008 by Francois

9am Paris, France. My friend woke me up cause he got to go to work. I sleep in his living room, using a sleepingbag…Not exactly the 5stars palaces in Paris but closer to my friends ;)

As usual, the first thing I do is opening my macbook, check my mails, check Facebook and update my twitter account. This morning, we got a bad news. Actually, not bad but the kind of news that test your resistance.

Being in France while my two brothers are in Malaysia and NZ, we had to face the disappointment by ourselves. We share one email conversation and came back to work.

The same day I met nice people at Agoranov, a half public/half private French incubator backing up small innovative businesses, and had a good conversation with a potential partner in France.

This experience made me more conscious of the importance of tenacity. Never give up.

    That is the life of a startup, you need to be made of rubber, when things go sour and you hit rock bottom you need to bounce back and get on with it. Never give up as you say :)
