My work may never make a difference to those who don’t notice. Each company is an organization of people who deserve the best. I don’t expect my work to make a difference. I do it because it makes me happy. I am just grateful to be doing it. Best, Emin

Listening is one of the harder skills in this life to improve. Listening is one of the skills that I am grateful for practicing. Whether it be on paper or in person, this will be a core belief I hope to carry with me. And though I have a long ways to go… I know that the solution to every problem faced is nearby, all it takes is time to listen in. Best, Emin Okic

Today was a really good day. I got lost in my purpose today, and forgot hours had passed. I am grateful for today. I am grateful for another day. Best, Emin Okic

It is often easy to worry about diverging careers among colleagues. Forgetting that they may be equally as concerned about their own. There seems to be no real “right” or “wrong” except those set morally and without cause. Every purpose is on a different path. Each soul unique, and each path too. That is a one to one correspondence if I’ve seen one. I can only wonder how that scales to infinity. Best,

A lot of people will get upset with you for being who you are. Though there are the few who embrace the opportunity. Those are the people I will drop everything for. Best, Emin Okic

How you treat someone’s business, is inevitably how you will treat your own. I may not plan to work for the man forever, but I sure am going to give him (or her) his dollar’s worth. I firmly believe that. Best, Emin Okic

When I sit at the dinner table, I would prefer to eat last, when I have the opportunity. When I die, I want to leave nothing behind. Sometimes when I get really exhausted, I just think about my retirement. I like to think about what fine tobacco company I could try and own. Imagine that. Free cigars. Best, Emin Okic
