Why I do what I do.

Yesterday my good friend from Monterey, Mexico e-mailed after a year of no correspondence. I met this guy in July of 2005 and have known him for a full five months. When I was reading his email I just couldn't stop smiling. All these memories just kept flooding back to me and I was there in Germany again. In the warm sun of a european summer eating gelato and laying on the cool grass with my friends. I really loved the time I had in Germany. 2005 was a good year. If I loved it so much, I wonder why I didn't stay? My reasoning for going to Europe was that I wanted to relive and recapture what it was about my childhood there that I loved so much. It was everything from the surly people, but I think it was just the place. The hills, green forests, old towns. This all relates to the MBA panel I went to yesterday. Why do I want to get an MBA? It's not an easy question. I want to expand my horizons. I want to know more than just China, more than just Europe, more than what I know. I want to get to know the people in this world. What are their motivations. I shouldn't be so scared of people. They aren't that much different. Well so more than others. Sometimes I believe it's that I'm always running. Maybe it's time to stop running.
