The environment that is surrounding you will dictate to a large extent the nature and quality of your life. Decide what you want from life, the kind of weather, culture, political system, social norms, and economic standards that you want to be part of. Then, plan your future if possible, so you end up living the life you want to live. There is another option and that is you exercise leadership and mobilize people so that the place you are living at becomes the place that suits your standards. Life is short, don’t compromise on the quality of your limited years.
