The most important events of 2020
2020 was a hell of a ride.
Even though the pandemic wasn’t a “black swan” event (link 1, link 2), it steered our life at 180 degrees. It showed us how vulnerable we can be and how easily everything can turn into chaos.
On the other hand, we proved that we can adapt, reinvent, and overcome everything with patience, discipline, and positivity.
2020 will stick forever in our minds and that’s why I wanted to put together the most important events of the last twelve months:
