Ottawa. Talentbridge. Good Things.
This post was contributor by: Kyle Sergeant
Never discount a community, a conglomeration, a cluster, a one-hell-of-a-brain-trust. Numbers are power. You just need to discover the proper numeration. And you will know when you find it. You, it, your thoughts – they will all fit. Like a jubilant bouquet of carnations, magnolias, and tulips, it will be beautiful. And who doesn’t enjoy beauty?
The beauty sprouting out of Talentbridge, one of many communities within Ottawa, is the intelligence, the excitement, and dedication. The youthful exuberance. It is brought together, guided, and encouraged by Oak Computing’s Manu Sharma – the sort that asks the proper questions, regardless of the emotional state of the recipient; because not asking would detach Manu from the term leader, and those stumbling towards success – sacrificing, giving it a good go, and not caring about the naysayers after each moment requiring a quick dust off – need that. And they will lead when their time comes. Talentbridge is a community, after all. It takes care of its own.
But I am just cheering, of course. My actions – result driven and economically inspired – have yet to come to fruition. So these are just ramblings – biased ones.
Yes, as a member of Talentbridge I do have a positive bias towards the latest news that Talentbridge, despite its initial squashing (which lead to a member sprinting after Margot Sunter, Vice-President of OCRI Finances and Administration), has found further funding. How have I shaped such bias? Well, I enjoy bright-eyed thoughts, purposeful debates, networking with purpose, idea sharing on steroids, and mentors that understand tomorrow requires youthful longevity. So I enjoy Talentbridge. I am biased. We all have our flaws.
But at least I do not need to say I enjoyed Talentbridge. Past tense can be so very judgmental, so very open to critique – and what is a critique if it does not create a solution?
There is so much more to come. And no one respects a quitter.
