Editor’s Note
Whether they are in the playground, in their room, in the back of the car or in a restaurant, siblings will always find a way to annoy each other, poke each other, argue over the most ridicules things, have a screaming match over toys, clothes and even girlfriends at a later stage. While siblings are a blessing to keep close to your heart, it is often a real rocky path to find the right balance between family and friendship.
And yet, what would we do without them? Siblings teach us to be strong, tolerant, compassionate, honest, loyal while stretching our nerves to their limits. If there is anything I learnt from my siblings it is to develop good communication, appreciate and acknowledge each other’s differences, in other words, agree to disagree, and recognise that being different is a strength rather than an impediment. To this end, there are some great examples of double acts that have mastered their communication, successfully culminating in great business projects and collaborations worth dedicating our February issue to.
