It’s the little things that sometimes end up meaning the most

Peter Schramme

The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.

Peter SchrammeThese were wise words of Oscar Wilde back in the late nineteenth century. However, even in our digital era, they still are very much up-to-date. This same spirit underpins our new Objectway blog. Welcome!

We would love you to share your viewpoints, insights, concerns, practices, mindsets and snippets on our mutual business… as it will enlighten, inspire and trigger some else in our community.

Little things, little thoughts are sometimes valuable input for others. And vice versa, they can be for you as well. Thanks a lot for your active contribution to and active reading of this brand new blog.

And by the way, Share your knowledge. It’s a way to achieve immortality. Something every one of us aspires to, no?
