Let me take you on a ride to one of the most amazing events I have ever attended - "Anyone Can Start Up" organized by the genius minds at I-cog Labs ACC. The event was graced by the presence of Mahlet Afework, the CEO of Mafi Mafi, who left us spellbound with her incredible speech.

To put it in her words, "We should learn to give" - a simple yet profound lesson that struck a chord with me on every level. In a world where everyone seems to be driven by the 'me first' mentality, it was refreshing to hear someone talk about the importance of being selfless. Mahlet told us what we give now, the universe will give back to us in ways we could never imagine.

She also shed light on how our generation has made a grave mistake by just using companies as a means to an end, rather than taking it as an opportunity to learn and develop. She encouraged us to slow down and take advantage of the resources provided by our employers to grow as individuals and professionals, rather than just exploiting them for personal gain and jumping from one company to another.

And let's not forget the highlight of my day - meeting the incredible Betelhem Dessie, the CEO of ACC, who left a lasting impression with her kind demeanor. She is a true inspiration to all of us, and meeting her has made me more determined to make my country proud someday.

Overall, it was a beautiful and inspirational experience, and I came out of it feeling motivated and energized to give back to the world. Who knows, maybe someday I'll be up there on that stage, inspiring people to be the best version of themselves. Until then, I'll keep Mahlet's words close to my heart and continue to learn, grow, and give back in every way possible.
