In geography, there’s a term known as “antipodal points.”

The antipodal point of the North Pole is the South Pole, and for Beijing, it’s located in the Pampas of Argentina.

When you find yourself at your antipodal point, may every step you take, in whichever direction, bring you closer to the antipodal point of your aspirations.
