The year behind us was such a roller coaster. Great things happened, and terrible things happened, there were days we found ourselves above the clouds, then twenty thousand leagues bellow the sea – in a matter of hours. But we all kept going, and now it’s time to reflect and remember the most important lesions we picked up on the way.

Internet is full of inspiring quotes by famous people, though they often have a way of finding you first. However, there are also those who might not be famous, but whose insights are of value. Namely, bellow you will find twelve tweets by established professionals and business people who made us stop scrolling, go « hmm.. », and click that retweet button. These are the words worth spreading. And as you probably won’t find them printed anywhere, it seemed appropriate to share them with you in hopes you find their mindset useful for the upcoming year.
