 <p>
 You do not always want to define an environment variable globally. For instance,
-you might want to add <path>/home/my_user/bin</path> to the <c>PATH</c> variable
+you might want to add <path>/home/my_user/bin</path> and the current working
+directory (the directory you are in) to the <c>PATH</c> variable
 but don't want all other users on your system to have that in their <c>PATH</c>
 too. If you want to define an environment variable locally, you should use
 <path>~/.bashrc</path> or <path>~/.bash_profile</path>:
