Coming back to America was, for me, much more of a cultural shock than going to India. The people in the Indian countryside don’t use their intellect like we do, they use their intuition instead, and their intuition is far more developed than in the rest of the world. Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect, in my opinion. That’s had a big impact on my work.
回到美国对我来说，去印度所引发的文化冲击远不如回到美国来得强烈。印度乡村的人们不像我们这样运用理性思考，他们运用直觉，而他们的直觉比世界上其他地方的人发达得多。在我看来，直觉是一种非常强大的东西，比理性更强大。这对我的工作产生了深远的影响。
