Tropicana Magazine Sep-Oct 2017: Fortune Favours The Brave

EDITOR’S NOTE
FORTUNE
FAVOURS
THE BRAVE
It’s another issue full of inspirational
reads. This month we pay tribute to those
brave amongst us, who have taken risks
and reaped the benefits. These strongwilled
individuals have gone against the
norm to do things and have come out
winning.
Take our charming cover personality,
Michelle Goh for starters. She’s proved
the naysayers wrong by leaving a stable
corporate life to start a business that’s
not just lucrative but also fast gaining
popularity and growing in numbers.
Above all the benefits she has gained from
venturing out of a cushy life, the one that
stands out the most and gives her utmost
satisfaction is the call to help others.
The road to success may not have been
an easy one, but Michelle nevertheless
braved the long, hard days before she saw
her hard work turn into money. Like her,
there are many out in the world that move
to the beat of their own drum and prove
that altering the tempo can bring out the
winner in us. Take the architects of renowned creations, who have
taken abandoned buildings and breathed new life into them. They
saw potential in fixing something broken and making it anew.
In the wake of technological advances, the time is ripe to grab
the bull by its horns and take formidable steps to making ideas
come to fruition. Throw a little caution to the wind, and move
forward with that nagging idea that’s just begging to be brought
out to the forefront. You’ll never know what fortune awaits unless
you try!
