It’s something I am trying to keep in mind as we seem to be going through a time where so many are closing their minds off to the minds of others:
So much so that many years later my S/O told me she had been afraid that our relationship was at risk. That was quite the shock to me as it massively expanded my willingness to consider other beliefs and perspectives, and if anything, strengthened my love for her.
But in hindsight I can see why my reassessments of things I was certain of would have caused concern.
18 years ago today, I did my first business trip to Beijing as part of the front-team responsible for setting up a new office and distribution center in China. Except for a few jaunts as a Bus Driver to Canada, I had never been outside of the United States before. I would spend the next 5 years traveling for the organization I worked for as an IT advisor and PM.
It profoundly changed my Worldview:
