On a bus riding through Morocco, I noticed a restaurant store sign much different from all the others.
The sign was in English.
I wondered why anyone would write “Pizza Shop” in an Arabic-speaking country.
They aren’t speaking to natives, right?
And what tourist would come all the way to Morocco and want Pizza?
Tanjine! It’s Tanjine!
Everything is not about you.
When you learn that..
Many African countries look to America for the “it” thing.
Some people feel more comfortable with a taste of home while away.
Everyone is not as adventurous with trying food as you are.
You realize.
Everything is not about you.
And because it wasn’t made for you doesn’t mean it wasn’t made for someone.
I like to look at giving in a similar way.
Who is this for?
What do they want?
Even better:
What do they need?
Everything is not about you.
