It is tougher than I imagined it to be — I have a new-found admiration for innovators and entrepreneurs who create something from scratch and make lives better because they did just that. I’ve been working on my Capstone project the last month or so. As I’m doing a MSc in Innovation, our Capstone requires us to come up with…

I initially started off this week’s story on the topic of whether “The grass is greener on the other side”. But my thoughts suggested otherwise. In the past few weeks, through the chaos of juggling an internship and all the class preparation and assignment due dates, I actually found myself…
