PUBLIC RELATIONS & EVENTS
FROM THE EDITOR “Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It’s the courage to continue that counts.” -- Winston S. Churchill. We all fall short along the way toward our hopes and dreams. Sometimes we tire and at others we lose that clarity of vision. There’s also the fact that we mature and change with time and opt to fight for different causes. Regardless of the many definitions and routes to success, it wouldn’t be possible without constantly choosing to believe in your limitless abilities, and choosing to stand back up after every fall. That’s eventually what counts. Only ten more years remain till 2030, and the Kingdom achieves its vision. We live in an exciting time full of new opportunities. In this business and innovation edition of Destination KSA, we talk about practicing resilience at the workplace and how to deal with stress. We’ve also reached out and listened to how you maintain the daily hustle. Sticky situations at work and how to maneuver past them inspired “Say What You Mean” where you’ll be in for lots of laughs. Read stories of self-made Saudi millionaires, Ziad Al Najdi and his success despite hardships, and how Hamad Al Howaish cycled across KSA, and be inspired. We also touched on being plus sized, modeling, and the top 20 restaurants of the year. This fun issue is meant to get you all warmed up and started for an exciting new year. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors. One word of advice, however, always get up and get going. If you can’t do it, then no one else can.
