During the past six months, I was on a talented team, busily but happily engaged in a challenging business project. Everyone was working really hard to realize a beautiful dream and to achieve a common goal. Although the result was not as good as we had expected, the sense of achievement won’t be denied in our own hearts and neither in the eyes of the people who witnessed this incredible journey that we’ve come along.

I write down this article and dedicate it to my great partners who shared this journey with me and to all the friends who were behind us. When you happen to read this, you’ll surely know I’m addressing to you. Thank you for creating this beautiful memory in my life. I love you all.

And to my dear readers, we all have experienced life’s detours. Hopefully you can also draw some strength from the following words, as I also need to. Life’s detour is temporary. In every experience, there should always be something to smile about and feel proud of.

To my truthful partners and lovely friends,

When the project closed days ago, every one is back to his own life. Even though we all looked strong enough to go through this, however, I still caught some moments that you were low and disappointed, doubting yourself and wondering what went wrong.

Well, sometimes no matter how hard we’ve tried, things just don’t happen the way as we expected. But please don't let this make you doubt your capability. You are still the same wonderful person as you always were.

There might be many talented people in this world, but you are more than that. Truthful, brave, understanding … There are tons of adjectives I can use to describe your wonderful characters. The more we shared, the more I feel fortunate to be on the team, enriching myself to become a better person.

We are of the same kind of people who demand excellence in ourselves. But life won’t always be perfect. When we have braved ourselves for the predictable challenges, we also need to get ourselves prepared for the setbacks and disappointments that crop up everyday. When an adverse event knocked on, I was proud to see us so strong to face it up and go it through.

Later on, when we think of this experience, please don’t let the seemingly imperfect ending occupy our thought. Let’s smile about the exceptional work we were driven to get into shape after those sleepless nights; and also, about these great friends who were always behind us, ready and willing to help along the way. If the thoughts of others could bring you cheers, we all should be feeling better already because of the many thoughts that have come our way.

Some project partnership might happen by chance, but our true friendship is a lovely fate. Having you in this journey is a treasured gift to my soul. We were all in this together. Shared moments are never forgotten. I hold this friendship very close and dear. 

For someone like me, who was involved in many diverse projects and once thought this one was nothing more than another big task, I want to say this from the bottom of heart:

There has never been another journey that I delightedly dedicated so much consistent effort over such a long period. Neither has there been another project that I enjoyed myself so much during the whole process.

Please always remember, to me, you are the best partners and friends that I could’ve ever asked for. It was a TRUE memory that I’ll cherish in my heart. It was an EXCEPTIONAL experience that I’ll take pride in my life.
