A complete person
Thomas Friedman:
You cannot be a complete person alone. You can be a smart person alone. You can be a rich person alone. But you cannot be a complete person alone. For that you must be part of, and rooted in, an olive grove.
How very true! For those who havent read it yet, the above is a quote from 'The Lexus and the Olive Tree' - a book on globalization. Friedman has recently come up with a sequel - The World is Flat, but 30 pages into this book I am floored by Friedman's incisive thought process. Given the sea change my impression of Friedman has seen since I started reading TLOT, I guess he does a nice job of de-marketing himself in his regular NYT columns :p
God bless Adi! :)
