e12: Keep Moving, Never Look Back! Use the past to go forward not like a crush to fall behind.”
Part 2 – Dr. William Undie shares his nadvigating journey with host Bassey Simon. 
This professor of Radio Oncology never believed he was too good for any job and spent time as a pizza delivery man, a construction worker, and even a dishwasher at a restaurant. Certainly, his own children find it hard to believe, but Dr. Undie has never considered any job to be beneath him. That is the nature of the journey.

In this episode, I bring you the first part of Dr. William Undie inspiring story.
 

 
This Episode Summary

Dr. Undie credits his parents with instilling in him the importance of education, hard work and integrity. These are values he has sought to teach his children as well. He also discusses the difference in cultural norms. He shares some of the cultural behaviors he himself had to unlearn, such as avoiding eye contact. While this is accepted as  a sign of respect in Nigeria, it is interpreted as being devious in the United States. This is just one example of things many Nadvigators need to consider when striving to fully integrate into their new environment. He concludes that cultural variations aren’t bad. It is important to adapt to the social norms of your adopted country, though you still reserve the right to reject any attitudes that may be in conflict with your personal beliefs
He continues to say that he doesn’t regret coming back to the U.S.  because, “In life, you have to go through some struggles to get better.” His actions more than back up his words. He also explains the importance of creating a home culture where children can feel connected to parents as they learn to adapt and create a bridge between the parents and American culture.
