My journals started filling up with business ideas at the ripe old age of six. I'd always seen the world a bit differently, and wondered WHY do we do things THIS way and not THAT way? How do other people in the world do these things?

But instead of soaking in the beauty, I found myself constantly worrying? "Is my bag safe?" Thus leading to the question? Shouldn't we just know our stuff is safe, always? And that was the first step on the road to build Serenity.
