work in the US

so i’m here on my 2nd week and this goal is done. i’ll flight back on the 7th.

i’m going to be in the U.S. for 4 weeks for a work-related engagement. though, i doubt if i’d be able to really immerse myself in “life as it is” there in such a short time, i’m pretty sure i’d get a good feel and that’s enough (well at least for now and if it turns out to be it then i’m ok with that and that’s because of i realize the obvious: time is limited, i am limited.) so when i get back, i’ll consider this goal done.

on a side note, the reason why i have multiple “Work in …” goals is not really for the work but for the experience of living “life as it is” in other countries, other cultures because for me, basically, working is fundamentally linked to living. we derive much of our sense of purpose, sense of meaning and thus sense of self, from our work. so, therefore, for me, to work in different places in the world is the only way to truly see the world.

i’ll be in Texas next week for work. should i consider this goal achieved? hmm…

nah, not yet. i guess a week is not quite enough. ;p
