I’m Embarrassed!

Mar 7th 2009Business & Life

As I visited one of our partners this week, we talked about doing more work in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.  With the challenges growing in the US market, looking to expand overseas may be a good way to take what we do well today and protect our current revenues.

As we talked, he mentioned how little he knew about that region.  I had to admit a similar weakness in knowing the geography of that region. 

So he followed up our conversation by sending me an email with a test to take:

Do you know your geography?

I’m embarrassed to admit how poorly I did.

How did you do?

    I did ok. I got the 4 “stans” above Afghanistan a bit mixed up, and a couple of the African countries….but not bad for not having looked at a map in a long time.

    Reminds me of 9th grade Honor World History – for our 1st semester final, we were given a large piece of butcher paper, and were required to draw a map of the world and label each country. (rough geometric shapes, not exact contours)
