Nyc doesn't have a big sign saying "you must love diversity and the rights of all people." and that's not what makes you love diversity in nyc or anywhere. what makes you love diversity is because you live in it and you experience it.

More From Mohsin Hamid

A sign, or representamen, is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity. it addresses somebody,that is, creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign, or perhaps a more developed sign. that sign which it creates i call the interpretant of the first sign. the sign stands for something, its object. it stands for that object, not in all respects, but in reference to a sort of idea, which i have sometimes called the ground of the representamen.

The trouble is that millennials and many recent products of the public schools believe that america was made great, if they're even taught that it's great, if they're taught that it's great, you know what they're told is the reason? diversity. there's diversity all over the world. you can go to places where there is diversity out the wazoo, folks. you can go to places all over the place world and you can find the most diversity, you can find perfect diversity, however you find it. you will not find a united states.

Katherine johnson never complained, it just was what it was. she just said, "i just wanted to go to work and do my numbers." and she stopped right there. i think about that as a black woman in hollywood when i'm asked about diversity. i hate when people say diversity because the first thing you jump to is black and white. when you talk about diversity, you're talking about women being hired in front of and behind the camera. you are talking about people with disabilities, the lgbtq community...so i hate when people think about diversity.
Hate Black And White Thinking
Alas! the road to anywhere is pitfalled with disaster; there's hunger, want, and weariness, yet o we loved it so! as on we tramped exultantly, and no man was our master, and no man guessed what dreams were ours, as, swinging heel and toe, we tramped the road to anywhere, the magic road to anywhere, the tragic road to anywhere, such dear, dim years ago.

I love saying 'yes' and i love saying 'please.' saying 'yes' doesn't mean i don't know how to say no, and saying 'please' doesn't mean i am waiting for permission. 'yes please' sounds powerful and concise. it's a response and a request. it is not about being a good girl; it is about being a real woman.

Being kind doesn't mean being soft or a wuss. kindness is not a sign of weakness. it is a sign of confidence. if you have developed a reputation for kindness and consideration, then even the most unpleasant decisions will go down easier because everyone will understand why you are doing what you are doing. they will realize that your decision must be necessary, and is not arbitrary or without empathy. as the old saying puts it, 'to the world, you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.'
Kindness Mean Empathy

Sometimes kindness can be delivered in a clumsy way. but it's far more sincere in its clumsiness than those distinguished men you read about in books. your father was very clumsy.

If you could have magical binoculars that you could focus and look at the field of intention, you would see what the source of all things looks like. it's a source of love and kindness and beauty and creativity, and it's a source that excludes nothing and it's a source of unlimited abundance.

Just as the heart becomes carefree in a place of green, growing plants, goodwill and kindness are born when our souls enter happiness.
