Paul Graham said “Great cities attract ambitious people. You can sense it when you walk around one. In a hundred subtle ways, the city sends you a message: you could do more; you should try harder.”
Messages New York = you should make more money Boston = you should be smarter Silicon Valley = you should be more powerful. What matters in Silicon Valley is how much effect you have on the world. Fukuoka? You should be relaxed. Enjoy your life. Take it easy.
