Open Floor
There was nothing much discussed on the open floor. So @chaion07 ended the meeting with this great quote from Foster C. McClellan:
Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.
