I don't feel any special connection to my place of birth. The world is my oyster. I have noticed a trend among the people I grew up with: there seems to be a definite correlation between how far they went geographically and how far they came in life.

I suppose it's also an easy crutch to make sure you don't have to develop your own opinion, ethics, etc. A bit like how many people treat religion.
