Forget being the best of anything. That's the fruit of the action, and you do the work -they say- for the doing, not the fruit. You can never really know how it's gonna turn out in the world but you know if you enjoy doing it. And ideas start flowing and you start getting, you know, excited about stuff. Then you're having a great time in the doing and that's what it's all about. If you don't enjoy the doing, then do something else.

What are ways to get communities wealth, improved health, and expanded job opportunities out of this improved transition?

I had such a great time seeing new cultures and different ways that people think and different ways that they live and different ways that they see the world.
