who are you and where are you?

 I wrote about the power of peers and that led to me to further thinking...

There is more nuance than to just saying peers. It is about the ecosystem, the environment and all that it encompasses.

Think about the following:

Can Cheetah win a swimming competition?

Can a fish survive in land?

Can crops grow in seasons and environments that are not conducive to them?

Can a seed grow on a rock or when the conditions are not favorable?

So when you succeed, it is not just your effort, your capabilities, your smartness, it is also about lot of factors and the environment you are in that helps you to execute, that helps you to deliver, that nurtures you

Similarly, when you are not firing on all your cylinders, probably, may be it is not about you. Probably, you are a polar bear suffering in the sub-saharan african desert.

Just make sure you are in the right place!!
