My Dad once told me: ‘The quickest way to reach your dreams is to wake up!’
I was recently reminded of this when Djøf London, in collaboration with DKUK and Köd, hosted a talk by Denmark’s own daredevil, Per Wimmer.
Per Wimmer‘s talk had the audience captivated from start to finish. It is fascinating to see how one person has mastered such a diverse set of skills and checked off so many extraordinary experiences from their bucket list which include: acquiring multiple academic degrees to being the first person in the world to jump tandem over Mount Everest, flying Russian MIG-25 over Siberia at an altitude of 80,000 feet (24 km) at Mach 3 (which by the way, is 3 times the speed of sound) and L-39 fighter jets, competing in land speeds, and soon-to-be space visitor.
Per Wimmer’s message: if you dream of something, why wait? Take action and make it happen and also shared his seven values which may help inspire others:
1) Think out of the box: Allow yourself to be inspired.
2) Follow your heart and passion: Have purpose. Have fun. Be authentic.
3) Focus and execution.
4) Time discipline: Be conscious about time allocation.
5) Teamwork: The sum of the parts is greater than the individual parts alone.
6) Take calculated risks: Assess the risks-rewards ratio. Apply sustainable solutions respecting the environment & scarce resources.
7) Inspire others: Especially children, and encourage them to live out their dreams.
I look forward to reading Per Wimmer‘s new book. If you want your own copy, you can get one here: https://lnkd.in/dH5QZf4B
