Culture shock
The world is so much bigger than any single person, place, issue or success. Take time to look at the bigger picture and appreciate everything life has given you, but don’t forget to look ahead and try to take advantage of every learning opportunity that may arise.

A woman told me over Thanksgiving dinner that truth is not a fundamental pillar of journalism anymore. I let her know how very, very wrong she was, and proceeded to talk at length about my excellent UI journalism education.
