The whirlwind continues — between flights, meetings, and moments of inspiration, life moves at full speed. While waiting for my next meal, let’s to last week in Frankfurt 🌹.
After bidding farewell to the brilliant Hong Kong-based author Ms. He (fulfilling our January rendezvous in true cosmopolitan style), I nourished both mind and ambition at the Guangdong Economic & Trade Exchange. A masterclass in understated excellence — where leaders from China’s top GDP region ( FTZ, , , , ) presented growth not with bravado, but with precision: data, policy, and quiet confidence. It reminded me of ’s disciplined mastery (think kung fu) and ’s culinary genius — though I’m still mourning the legendary feast I missed 🍒.
The evening shifted gears at City Hall, where I observed the Transport Committee strategize Frankfurt’s mobility future — a critical dialogue as the city surges from 600k to 800k residents. Later, serendipity struck: the Ironman Triathlon, a thrilling testament to resilience and vitality. Because true power? It starts with movement.
Lessons from the week:
✅ Greatness speaks softly —whether in policy, business, or infrastructure.
✅ Energy begets energy — invest in people, sport, and strategic connections.
✅ The best journeys blend intellect, culture, and a dash of serendipity.
Who else thrives on high-stakes weeks where every moment delivers value?✨
