And my word of encouragement: think globally in your deliberations.

“Today, more than ever, the traditional boundaries between politics, culture, technology, finance, national security and ecology are disappearing. You often cannot explaining one without referring to the others, and you cannot explain the whole without reference to them all” (Friedman, p20) .. It’s the connections that matter
