    A Late Night End to a Long Day

    It's 12:15 am in Switzerland and my night is finally ending. I haven't shut my eyes in about 42 hours. Yikes!

    We just got back from Steve Forbes party here in Davos at the Hotel Belvedere. It's an institution and the location for multiple parties on each night. It was a star studded crowd of Executives and Business Leaders.

    Among the people I saw and had a moment to speak with were Governor John Corzine, the CEO of Hasbro Alfred Verrecchia, the Chairman and CEO of Interpublic Group Michael Roth, Steve Forbes and Jeff Zucker the Chairman and CEO of NBC Universal.

    I must admit it's moments like this where I can't help but pinch myself. How did I get so lucky? At the end of the day everyone one of them are real people just like you and me. What separates them from the pack? Their desire to win and their thirst for learning.

    I learned a very valuable lesson tonight watching them mingle with one another. Even when the odds are stacked against you and things look bleak, you have to take the time to enjoy life, spend time with friends and forget for just one night, maybe two, that you are running a multinational corporation!

Just to take your time. Don't rush yourself. That's what I would do in Davos; I wouldn't be in hurry. When I explored Barcelona,Catalonia,Spain that's what I did. I even enjoyed the catalonia countryside when I stayed in a villa in the countryside. But along the way my Spanish improved. I can differenate the between Castillian Spanish and Catalonian Spanish. But the main thing I had fun for 2 and half weeks. So Alexis take your time and even ski in the snow.
