Starting Another Stage in Your Life

I read FastCompany, among three different snowboard magazines, during my latest decompression session Friday night at Barnes & Noble. I wrote down the code for accessing the magazine's web-only content. I never buy magazines, I just browse and take notes while sitting at the Starbucks cafe in BN.

Came cross this article online about "an IT analyst [who] pursues a different calling after the tsunami hits his native Sri Lanka." Although my circumstances are different, I could identify with starting a new stage in one's life and trying to find a way to give back to others.

"Before the tsunami, I was set on applying to U.S. MBA programs. I still am -- but now I expect my focus in business will be on trying to help people."
