"Confucius said 'No matter where you go, there you are'"
I learned this the hard way years ago when I first moved to Jerusalem for a period of time. I thought I would change for the better immediately. Over time, I did change. Whether for good or bad, the place changed me. It was a powerful lesson in how where you are affects you.
Thank you, Rishad. Having lived in so many places & worked for 10+ companies, I truly believe in "It is as much as what we bring to a place and make of it as it makes of us." Happy New Year.
So beautiful, deeply touched by this one, so many things to learn here, thank you Rishad for writing this one!!

A poignant perspective that really resonated this morning.
I enjoy all your posts Rishad, but this one really struck me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Joan Didion. Very relevant these days.
