Why product management?

It’s my Ikigai

Based on the Venn Diagram of Purpose by Andres Zuzunaga

This is actually the Venn Diagram of Purpose by Andres Zuzunaga (2011). The true meaning of Ikigai, translates to “a reason to live.” It's a concept that encourages people to discover what truly matters to them and to live a life filled with purpose, health and joy (the value one finds in day-to-day living) - its not about professional success, monetary return, and entrepreneurship.

My mantra

embrace grit
