About 11 years ago, I cold-emailed Om for his guidance. I was an absolute nobody, living thousands of miles away. Not only did Om patiently explain how I should think about my career, he kept in touch over the past decade checking in on how I was doing. I left journalism last year to do something else -- coincidentally, again, following Om's footsteps -- and had been meaning to write a long email, sharing so much. I deeply regret missing the chance to have another conversation with him.
Om has been deeply impactful to my journalism career and beyond. He was way too kind and leaves a big vacuum.
- appstorelottery 3mo ago"Om patiently explain how I should think about my career" - care to share what Om explained to you?

- ignoramous 3mo ago"Say more" sounds like a terse but daft order / directive. Discussion boards lack non-verbal cues, so you have to be sometimes extra mindful with words.
- artur_makly 3mo agoUnderstood - i will use "please" next time -;)

- n4r9 3mo agoYou might find it helpful to write the email, if you can find the time. Even if you never get to send it.
- watson 3mo agoOr maybe even more if you do send it
