More than our small world

We can easily get so caught up in our own business and goals that we forget to simply look around and testify that there is more life happening around us than our small world. So, it takes something or someone to get in our way and get our attention by interrupting our trajectory.. That can be bothering. It can be as challenging as being confronted with opposite cultures and mindsets that drive us off our comfort zone and make us go back to what really matters, stripped off of all that is accessory. Life can be simpler and more joyful. This is Yao: playfully serious.
