"There are environments that make you seem like a confident extravert; environments where you will sit quietly, not engaging with anyone; environments that allow you to focus for hours; environments that make you distracted and prone to procrastination. A soldier could be powerful, brave and organised within a military environment. Later, that same person may struggle to achieve basic living standards in the civilian environment. A Google employee won’t think twice about working on an app that reaches 10 million new users in a matter of weeks. Take them out of Google and they might struggle to start a business that reaches 10,000 people, ever. **When you know what you want, find an environment where it would be normal to achieve it**."
