It has indeed been some time……Work kept me busy 😦 However sundays are always a good time to put pen to paper!!
I always had this question lingering in the back of my mind. I consider myself quite fortunate…i have had the previledge of working in south asia , east asia and the west….totally different worlds and totally different cultures!! Having being exposed to many different cultures puts me in a unique perspective to answer this question!!
Although it is a very difficult question to answer , in my experience, there is certainly an inheritable component. To avoid being labelled as a racist i will use A B C to denote various geographical areas….it should be very obvious to you what i mean 😉
People in A are usually poor , uneducated and somewhat easy going. They are generally very collegial and understanding.However they do tend to loose their temper very easily and that can often escalate situations badly….i never understood reasons for this….may be they are continously stressed from various life issues, hence naturally predisposed to this behaviour!!
People in C are usually very mild , polite and well mannered. They tend to be understanding and accomadating. However they tend not to be very hard working.
People in B are easily the worst….rude as hell and materialistic. They worship “money” as their religion. Work is their life and there is absolutely no enjoyment……It is not surprising that these nations top the list of ” unhappiest” nations in the world….though the per capita income is high!! They also get very annoyed at the slightest hint that someone else is doing things better 🙂 “island mentality ” -google it out. It is an actual entity 🙂
So in essence what experience do I have to justify my conclusions ?
Well….I moved from A, worked in B and moved to C.Part of the reasoning i moved to C was my kids. I could see how even myself was picking up dirty habits from B. I certainly did not want to , and definitey did not want my kids to pick them…No way !!
The fact that they may be partly inherted comes from the fact that even in C , i occasionally come across people originating from B with Absolute same mould as their counterparts from B. Same arrogance , rudeness and superiority complex!! They say you cant change the spots of a leopard…..true!!
I once worked for US based educational firm….my manager was a vety polite gentleman from C. I had many directors from C also….they were not easy customers to please, strict but above all polite and understanding……then came along a newly minted director from B living in C …he was the most junior of all directors i worked for ….but was an absolute bastard….rude, arrogant topped with a superioirty complex which was in my opinion pathological….his ego was beyond my comprehension…..pretty common trait for people from B!! Needless to say I left 🙂
So why do people from B always need to feel the urge to prove ” I am better than you” where as A and C do not?……I really dont know. But the fact that they persist when people from B move to A or C tells me that they may be partly inherited!!
Dont take this rant too seriously 🙂 …..it is no way scientific but it may be your experience too that certain people are “always” rude arrogant and so ” full of themselves “…..”centre of the universe”
That is me signing off for today!
Guess A B and C!!!!
