Ion-Mircea Ghinda reflects on early jobs at a supermarket and aged-care facility, where an elderly resident told him to live every moment and be aware of every moment. That advice shaped how he leads today, prioritizing integrity and empathy over everything else.

Very powerful. Thank you. Thank you so much. Okay. Now we are toward the end. So what I'm going to ask you really quick is what is the most rewarding aspect of your life experience so far? Now you are relatively pretty, pretty young. We, we talked earlier, uh, you are about a dozen years or so younger than me, but you are not 17 years old.
No, I'm in my 30s, like my late 30s.
But yes, with the experience you have so far and the leadership opportunity you've had and you've done very well, What is most rewarding for you right now?
So what's most rewarding for me is the journey. I'm actually realizing that what— when I, when I started at 18, 19 and I was working a few jobs, I was working in a Zeller supermarket and also working in an aged persons residence that had multiple sclerosis. And I remember a lady who, when we were taking the residents for activities outside and we were at the restaurant and we were enjoying ourselves and she said, "Remember, in the future," no, she basically said like, "Don't let the time pass by and you're gonna end up like my age and you're not gonna go where, you're not gonna realize where time passed." So she said, "Live every moment and be aware of every moment."
