i don’t know
we had to deliver a cargo to spain, and the spanish were so relaxed even though it was quite a serious job. i learned that you shouldn't be stressed in order to finish things up; stress won't help.
cultural diversity brings different body language, which could lead to misunderstandings. i have learned to tolerate different manners.
i have worked with people from all different continents, and i learned that if you want to go far in life, cultural knowledge is the answer.
often many took their work seriously, but thought that they could do what they wanted because they believed they could get away with it. drawing the line early is important.
