Hi @samminator.
No doubt being in the right place is paramount to your future and performance in any area of your life.
As you yourself mentioned it is not the same to plant a bunch of grapes in a warm land than in a cold land, this is because they are native to the cold so they must be harvested in this environment.
What good is it to be an excellent manager and be playing a role totally opposite to it. Your writing is very good.
Regards
