My company has an office located on a small, serene New England lake, and the lake is ringed with a well-maintained asphalt trail. While visiting there on a recent spring day, I decided to take in a brisk trek around the lake. As I approached the trail, I couldn’t help but notice that nearly all of the other strollers, joggers, and dog-walkers were going about their business in a clockwise manner. For whatever reason, I decided to take the road less traveled by: I stepped onto the trail and deliberately began walking in a rebellious, counter-clockwise direction.
