Hello Team,

First things first, whether this is Natural or Man-made,

We have very little control over the present COVID-19.

However, what we do control is our response to this.

How we choose to react ultimately defines how it affects us.

Stay Safe, Wash your hands, Embrace Social Distancing,

Just like every Storm, this too will run out of rain.

Today, we have moved Operations and we are now working Remotely,

We chose this step because of the health, Wellbeing, and Stability of Patricians

is and always will be

our Foremost Priority

This is a huge step for all the members of Patricia.

This is a Huge Step for Patricia.

Working remotely sounds like a dream come true for a lot of us

one of the main issues we are going to be faced with,

is the newfound Freedom.

for a fact, you wouldn’t have anyone breathing over your shoulders to make sure you’re performing optimally…

and for most of us, the biggest challenge is going to be FOCUS

The lines between home and office can get pretty blurry,

This is the time you need to show up and Show off…

I urge everyone to embody “Occalms Razor”.

Occalms Razor says, the easiest solution, is usually the best solution.

the best solution right now is to focus on one thing at a time

We have Set the Structure, We have Set the Direction

We now hand the Baton over to you,

Do not Drop it until you reach the finish line

we did not get here by stopping to address every barking Dog

We got here by Pushing

By doing the most

We got here by not stopping until we are done

And at this time we are going to do the most

Let me tell you something you already know,

the world is not all sunshine and rainbows.

I do not care how tough you are

you, me or nobody is going hit as hard as life

but it is not about how hard life hits,

it’s about how hard you get hit

and keep moving forward

this is what we do

that’s what we are going to do at Patricia

We will keep on moving forward

even when we fail,

we will fall forward,

and this is how we Stay WINNING

Where everyone Saw an Apple fall from the tree,

A man saw something different,

Sir Isaac Newton

Saw an AHA moment

he saw the Law of Gravity

Every day, we have ordinary people

doing Extraordinary things…

I tell people

I Can kill an alligator with my Bare hands,

How…

you want to kill an alligator,

you could kill an Alligator right after it eats,

at that moment,

its full,

it thinks it has won,

its next to been paralyzed

Why? because it is Satisfied

Coronavirus, has everyone staying at home…

Do not get comfortable

Stay Hungry…

there’s a silver lining, out there for us…

Do not take it for granted…

let us go Change the world…
