Get Back To Why It All Started
I’ve come to appreciate that everyone’s individual story is so interesting. Especially in business, I like to know why and how someone got into the business they are in. I always heard growing up, “it takes all kinds to make a world.” With the increase of news sources and social media, we now have perhaps […]

You, Too, Can Fight The War Against Hackers
.ry year I am touched by the ceremonies honoring the heroes who were a part of the D-Day military campaign against Hitler. This year marked 77 years since the June 6 Allied invasion of France.

The 90/10 Rule For Success In Business And In Life
The 90/10 Rule says that 90% of success in business and in life comes from attitude, self-image, and self-discipline. Only 10% comes from knowledge. This is also one of Aptica’s core values. This notion may seem odd after all the times I’ve talked about how much time Aptica staffers have to spend learning about what’s […]
