If your field of vision tends to be limited and narrow…
…then broaden your perspective and see the world through a wide-angle lens. Be curious.
Explore. Expand your comfort zone.

If you’re worried about uncertainties in the global arena…

…then ask questions rather than relying on the same old answers. Appreciate differences.
Recognize similarities. Build relationships across borders based on shared goals.

“The world is but a school of inquiry.”

Michel de Montaigne – French philosopher and writer
