Witness greatness

[View in browser]( | [Join the community - sign up for an e27 account now!]( [Echelon TOP100 Qualifiers come to a close — let's get ready to rumble!]( Editor's Note On Sunday night I was lucky enough to attend a performance by a pianist named Valentina Lisitsa. I don't particularly enjoy classical music and I just went in the spirit of trying new things. The concert was awesome. The reason it was so good is because it was immediately clear that Lisitsa is a master at her skill. Five minutes into the concert, I realised I was watching the best piano player I had ever seen. If we stop to think about it, over an entire lifetime the average person can probably count on two hands the amount of times they get to see someone who is the best in the world at a specific skill. So if you find an opportunity to witness greatness, take it, no matter if the event lines-up with your personal preferences. To see someone perform at that level is exciting. -Kevin Articles you shouldn't miss [e]( Super Intern: Class of 2018]( by [e]( team]( [Freelancing is a new norm, but it still faces a massive problem]( by [Lyra Reyes]( [Why fasting is the ultimate productivity hack for entrepreneurs]( by [Adrian Li]( [Today's top tech news, May 21: Grab partners Maybank for Malaysia mobile wallet, Singapore blocks piracy sites]( by [Kevin McSpadden]( [Indonesia's Series B funding gap is a serious problem, here's how NextICorn aims to address it]( by [Ridzki Syahputera]( [These 11 startups have made it into dtac accelerate 6th batch programme]( by [Anisa Menur A.
