I have always been a student of people. I enjoy hearing their stories. I think it helps to broaden my own perspectives.

Last night I had occasion to talk to a man from Nepal. He had come here 20 years ago as a student and made a life. He married, raised children, and has owned several businesses along the way. But he hasn’t seen his Nepalese family since his arrival in the United States. Luckily, they are all safe after the recent earthquake but it sounds like they were not far from vast destruction.

He was very interesting, having started with nothing and built a full life. We talked about life strategies, parenting, business and all sorts of things.

Just interesting.
