When I was young, I was told that a wise person is the one who learns from everyone. It is a great way to live by this — One begins to look at people very and he no longer puts others in order to feel good about himself.
Living in China me with many wonderful chances to put this principle into practice. China is quite and as a Westerner, it’s easy for me to consider many of the local habits as “strange” and even “rude”. However, slowly I began to a lot about the culture and about where many of their came from. I decided to make an effort to meet people and from them.
I am living in Harbin now, a city in the Northern part of China, near Russia. Yesterday I to get money from the ATM and have a good cup of coffee after lunch. But I can’t speak Chinese yet and there are no signs in English the nearest supermarket or coffee shop. There are signs in Russian. “espaciba” which means thanks, I don’t know much else. I decided to smile at my every attempt to and ask for information that would me to an ATM and a coffee shop. It turned out that my efforts and my were met with more smiles. I learned that is to be found everywhere even I cannot communicate, and that people will depending on what I give.
Look around you for opportunities to learn from the most people. You will be surprised at what they can you!
