Lagos Island Connect: An Intellectual Celebration

According to Steve Jobs, “the only way to do great work is to love what you do.” Keep looking if you haven’t found it yet. Don’t give up. You’ll know when you find it, as with all matters of the heart.” You may lose momentum if you settle. Continue to move.
