In the editorial of this issue

It is not necessary to have decades of experience, to realize that in this industry, ordinary is obsolete. Most engineers reading this magazine, dream of changing the world with something that was never done before. The New Year reminds them what they have already done or what they did not yet do, and what they aspire to achieve.

I truly believe the end of a year or the beginning of a new one does not have to be the time for this thinking. This reflection could be done on February, April, June, August, October or just now, when you feel you are ready, when you realize the risk of trying something new is actually much lower than the cost of desperately clinging to what’s worked in the past. I believe that’s the fuel of any disruptive idea.

Well, 2020 is here. The end of a decade for some people, the beginning of another one for others. Whatever it is for you, for the first time, I feel that the “best wishes” tradition has become “ordinary” to me. So, I won’t make it in this editorial. I would rather encourage those who already know the “fuel of disruption”, to keep embracing it, to push innovation forward. To those who know that drive, yet are still trying to make their idea work, well, try harder. To those who are still hesitating, to them, I say, feel the fear and take action anyway. And to those for whom this path is not a vocation, be aware of what you are meant to be, of what you want to do and do it well.

In the end, we all share one wish. Achieve our dreams.
