Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of working collaboratively within an existing company culture rather than attempting to force change onto it. Just as each country has its own unique culture that should be appreciated and embraced, a company also has its own distinct values, norms, and practices. Rather than trying to completely reshape the company culture, it is more effective to understand and adapt to it. By working with the existing culture, individuals can leverage its strengths, improve collaboration, and enhance overall performance while maintaining the company's identity and uniqueness.

If I had at that moment a sense of calm kindly death while my heart beat and my lungs expanded, he might know a similar sense of life in the middle of his ongoing death.
