I want to learn Cantonese and Hokkien.
I don't want to be bound by any culture or place.
I want to be able to communicate and blend.
I want to be sensitive .
I want power.
Working, I've learnt that:
- Speaking fluent English isn't necessarily an advantage. Only if it's the main medium of communication.
- That arrogance is sometimes used as a personal tool. To make oneself feel more superior then what he really perceives himself to be. I don't think it is fair to condemn a person for his pride, especially if he has no reason to be. He just might need it to survive.
- Each person is as valuable and despensible. No one deserves more respect then another.
- That respect ought to be given in terms of the value of the individual. And if you really look hard we're all worth the same. Tea-lady or boss, I don't think it's moral to differentiate.
- Really, maybe if people were treated as adults and individuals, coupled with genuine love and respect, we might just achieve a lot more then red-tape paternalism.
- It's important to distinguish between the worth of the individual and the worth of his work and what you're dealing with.
Hell, I could never be a lawyer. Could I?
