One thing I have noticed in my life
is that wherever I go, there are people who often take things for granted:
people we know, places we work, and even the city in which we live.
If you look close enough and pay
attention, there is so much more to learn from the history and traditions of
our surroundings. For instance, at
Baltusrol Country Club, many famous golfers have made history: A historical golfing occasion was
when Phil Mickelson won the PGA in 2005 – a true legendary day of golf
genius! Prior
to that, American professional golfer, Jack Nicklaus (known by many as “The
Golden Bear”) showed everyone how it’s
done in the 1980 US Open as he set a new tournament scoring record to win his fourth US Open
title, right here on the greens at this beautiful country club!
Occasions
such as these should help us realise that we are part of a fortunate group of
individuals that have the opportunity to experience amazing things – things
that many others won’t have the opportunity to experience.
Apart
from work, New York is known for so much. Merely walking around in the city,
gazing at the tall buildings within the concrete jungle, and walking through
Central Park is phenomenal! New York
even offers a rich and cultured Natural Museum of history for us to enjoy and
to enrich our minds.
The
people we meet, both socially and at work, are some of the most important
people we’ll meet during our lives. Although
these are people from different countries, with their own cultures, traditions and
beliefs, we can learn from each other.
