de Saint Exupery on difference ...

"If I differ from you, far from harming you, I enrich you..."

It has been too long since my last post, and here in Bangkok on Boxing Day I find I am pressed for time, once again! Nonetheless, Antoine de Saint Exupery's thought resonates as life overthe last several years has been ALL about difference and willingness to engage and be enriched, or resist and lose opportunity.

Bringing significant difference to a Directorate post in the Hong Kong SAR Government posed precisely this challenge. Indeed, I came away enriched, but also saddened by the lost opportunity of those who were unable to engage positively, choosing an ultimately self-defeating path.

Lessons in life. May the coming year be challenging and fulfilling for all!
