The New Year is upon us, and maybe it is
time to reflect on it for a bit. 2013. 13. The number.
Considered magic by
some, and cursed by others, it is undoubtedly a number that leaves very few
people indifferent.
Despite some religious connotations that
could relieve its bad fame, the number 13 still carries a heavy burden. 13th of
October 1307 was the day when Philip IV of France ordered the arrest of the
mythical Knights Templar, 13 are the knots traditionally needed in a hangman’s
noose to make it stable enough to be lethal, and it is also a number often
referred to in witchcraft teachings. Not to mention that Friday the 13th is
considered the unluckiest day of the year.
Good reasons to have a phobia of the number
13 – triskaidekaphobia?
Not to us. Not after surviving a 2012 that,
honestly speaking, has been all but easy.
With an economic crisis devouring the
world’s coffers, threats of wars looming all over the news and increasing
amounts of unemployed citizens getting more nervous by the day, it is still a
wonder that there are businesses out there that are still worth investing in.
But there are.
Far from retreating in fear against what
may come over us in such difficult times, inWhatLanguage has grown during the
last year, welcoming valuable additions to the team such as our new Project
Manager, Veronica Johnson, our new Marketing Manager, Lydia
Aranda, and no less than 250 new highly qualified linguists. We have earned the
patronage of 175 new customers, among which are some as prestigious as
Harvard University, Standford University or Silversea Cruise Lines.
With a solid leadership, competitive prices
and quality over everything else in our translation service, we have managed to
ascend to the top in the world of translation agencies, ending up as finalist
for the title of Best of State in Utah, and second place in the list of BestTranslation Agencies published by TopTenReviews – and, in the words of our dear
CEO Cody Broderick, “best overall!!!”-.
So… If we were able to achieve all this in
the turbulent year 2012… Are we afraid of what comes next? Are you kidding? We
are looking forward to growing more in 2013 with 100% growth, new team members,
awesome clients, and also by serving our community and non-profit groups to
help make our world a brighter place!
Happy New Year to everyone!
