Where you came from is a toolbox, not a ceiling. Use every tool in it.

A background hands you both limits and equipment, and it is easy to see only the first of those. Whatever you grew up around taught you things that people from elsewhere had to learn late or never learned at all. That knowledge counts as skill even when nobody near you calls it that.

Name two things you know because of where you are from that others plainly do not. Use them rather than hiding them to blend into somewhere new. The limits are real, and they describe the starting point rather than the finish.
