“No long epistle, just a reminder that sometimes your destiny is heavily tied to your location.
“Same hard work. Same intelligence. Completely different reward.
“If life gives you the opportunity to grow, relocate, or level up… take it. Comfort zones rarely change bank accounts.
“Respect to every professional grinding back home, but never apologize for choosing a life that expands you.”
