The email that I've been formulating in the back of my mind about leaving Yahoo! left my mailbox today at 10.14am PDT. It was the toughest email I've ever written. How do you sum up +6 years of working for the coolest Internet company in the world? How do you describe your gratitude and thanks to all the passionate, smart and ambitious people that you have relied on and vice versa?
Well, I guess you can't if you don't want to write a novel. But putting something into writing was important to communicate the formal ending of this chapter of my life. An exit is not the end but the beginning of something new, very often thanks to that very past that the ending is symbolizing. It's thanks to my time at Yahoo! that I can continue to pursue my passions in life - personal as well as professional. I'd say that is the ultimate achievement!

Brilliant! Thoreau said: "We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake . . . by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep. I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor."
