What changed in 2002?

I am not sure no more.

In 2002, I made the choice to learn and grow the other way.

I went to Toronto to learn about race, culture and how it plays out in everyday life.

Back to Oshawa in 2008, I learned my skills and brain were important.

Overtime, the more East, skills and forward culture mattered more.

But I stayed in Oshawa since 2008 and released I am stuck here with the family business and that the old team dynamics worked.

If you go out into the world and play, what will you get? Not the old team dynamics because that is just what happens when you change location. Maybe it is mostly science.

I am supposed to get a women more Western and more Southern than me in the direction of the UK, London I realize now.

Any other direction, I will fail and there is no point as the tangent is impossible.

Life at 35 is the same as it is in 42 for me.

If I don’t work, I will get sick.

What happens when you don’t work and think?

I guess the same.

I guess we all work and don’t get sick.
