Living In Our Shrinking World

Living In Our Shrinking World

It used to be, flying overseas [to any country in fact] was something like eartj-shaking and that it has to be planned many months [or even close to a year].  NOT until today when we we're Living In Our Shrinking World.  In this shrinking world today, you can even decide ON THE FLY where you want to FLY.  And the pre-requisites?  It's just your 'financial means' + willpower📘📗📙

I vividly remember the very first time I was then going on a business trip.  Our in-house travel executive was fully aware that I was a novice in business trips so she meticulously planned not just my travel itinerary [including the PROs and CONs of various layover options].  Even my travel per diem, she made sure that I will carry TC's [treasury cheques] and NOT green bucks [all because I am a travel novice]💵💴💷

Fact is, due to advancements in communications, transportation and technology, we can easily fly to New Delhi or Sao Paolo or I can meet foreigners who would travel to my country.  And when that Covid-19 pandemic hit it, it effectively confirmed that indeed we live in a SHRINKING WORLD because we can continue to lives even via ZOOM💎💎💎

I wonder though, with all these in place, are we REALLY effectively tapping the potential of a SHRINKING WORLD or still limiting ourselves to the familiar surroundings and friends to supply us with answers and advice?  Indeed we have come a long way in terms of communications the past 150 years✅✅✅

And we sometimes think that we have always been able to communicate with someone instantly but that is NOT the case though.  Alas, technology caused our world to SHRINK as it completely changed the way we communicate with each other and how we organize work.  So what's our take here?  We should NOT waste the opportunities of our SHRINKING WORLD for us to connect [even virtually and on-the-fly] if only to expand our horizons and explore for OPPORTUNITIES [even before they knock on our door].  This is about us LIVING IN OUR SHRINKING WORLD❗❗❗
