October 2015: The Challenge
What do we mean by challenge? The dictionary defines challenge as „an opportunity to take action and engage in a task.” What can this be? Where do we encounter challenges? They can come on a smaller scale in our private and professional lives; and on a greater scale in the form of political, social and geological issues. In our fast evolving world, challenges seem to multiply. Some challenges have been dealt with, while others have no resolution in sight. What challenges have you overcome? What challenges still lay ahead for us all? How will we respond to these challenge?
