Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion.
http://korn4d.com/2014/10/11/impossible-is-not-a-fact-its-an-opinion/
“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali

Definition of awesome:
All our routine tasks are automated. (So, we have time to do innovative stuffs)
Everything we ship to production is fully automated and non-disruptive.
We are able to ship worry-free software to production everyday :) ... actually, anytime we want.
We love learning and sharing internally and externals what we've learnt. (Internal Knowledge Sharing, Barcamps, Un-conference, Training, TechTalks)
We continuously keep our customers so happy and so pleased with our products and services.
We're a happy team with work-life balance.
