<p>Cowboy &amp; Horse Statue In Dallas Texas Visit More Than A Dozen Years Ago - IMRAN®<br />
Thirteen years ago, I found myself in Plano, Texas, enjoying a memorable dinner with my childhood friend Mohsin and his family. The occasion? A visit to Dallas, prompted by an invitation from Microsoft to interview for a role that would go on to shape a meaningful chapter of my journey.<br />
Ironically, when the call came from the Microsoft leader, I was in the middle of making an offer on the very home in Apollo Beach where I now sit, writing these reflections in 2025. That home has remained one of the most enduring blessings in my life.<br />
The Dallas area is dotted with statues of cowboys and horses—symbols of motion, grit, and legacy. I can’t recall the name or origin of this particular one, but perhaps someone local to Plano might recognize it and share more in the comments.<br />
As I revisit this moment from over a dozen years ago, I’m reminded how life often gallops ahead in ways we don’t expect. If I’m fortunate enough to be granted another dozen years—or more—who knows what new trails I’ll ride, what new stories I’ll tell, and what new horizons I’ll chase. The spirit of adventure, of exploration, of staying open to possibility—that remains unchanged. And for that, I’m deeply grateful.<br />
