I learned with my own personal experience, that we only know better our own culture, education, bias, and our own self, when we have lived at least few years in a different country and different culture (especially amongst locals). These (many years living in different countries and cultures) have expanded my horizon and my own identity, both professionally and especially personally. There is an emotional cost of "expatriating" oneself, but it is also truly a gift. There are many things that we cannot fully comprehend with only short visit, books or else, they have to be experienced over and over.

When we contemplate the magnitude and the consequences of the need for environmental sustainability, we cannot but conclude that urgent and fundamental actions are required. As technologists, it is somewhat automatic for us to think that technology can come to the rescue. Regrettably, that is not the case (and unmanaged use of technology can work against environmental sustainability) but we can still see that technology does have many positive contributions to offer. However, these contributions can only be realized if significant actions are already being executed at the highest level. Specifically, Environmental sustainability is a global, all-encompassing responsibility, involving governments, businesses, and all of us as individuals. It demands an urgent, wholesale move to renewable energy sources; the adoption of sustainable business practices & environmentally responsible social lifestyles. And that means it is only achievable through globally concerted governmental action, collaboration, and regulation, driven with the highest urgency.

Over nine weeks, more than 10,000 #TeamNokia employees from more than 80 countries and 190 different sites took part in the 2022 #NokiaSportsFestival. The festival's main goal has been to encourage healthy behaviors and habits, laying the foundations for a healthier way of working. Regular exercise helped our participants to earn Healthy Stars. Nokia supported the festival by committing to plant 5000 trees for the teams' efforts, and they did a great job achieving 14,004 Healthy Stars together. 🌳⭐ I'm excited to share more about this initiative: -> https://www.linkedin.com/posts/nokia_teamnokia-nokiasportsfestival-activity-7006875095163924481-dGKW

It's a cliché, but I think that it's true. Do something you like or even love, and you will never work a day in your life. I really enjoy what I do and so it's not work. I would recommend spending some time and figuring out what are you passionate about. What are the things you like to do and what do you find rewarding? I would even take a personality evaluation. Being aware of your preferences will be tremendously helpful in guiding your career path.
