There is no better time to publish and manifest the unlimited potential already within usSince I won the prize, many of my colleagues have been inspired to write. They have read my essay "Why Should I Publish" and discussed its unconventional style with me. As they say in the movie Kung Fu Panda, there is no secret ingredient...It’s just you! The process of entering the competition, writing the essay and then winning the John Henahan Prize has been profound and even soul-stirring. It makes you think and study, understand the profession and society and even re-discover yourself. The journey is thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding in itself. If you win, a prestigious international prize and will add five stars to your résumé. You will love the attention and accolades that come with it. The EuroTimes editorial staff and the staff of ESCRS is full of amazing people. They will go to great length to make you feel comfortable as well as special. Winning the prize will open new doors and mark the beginning of a new journey. There is no better time to publish and manifest the unlimited potential already within us.
