FootNotes - My Life My Way : Know How - Multicultural Environment

Teacher and Friends Mr. Barry

I'm working in multicultural work environment because i worked in Japanese Government Institution. For the first time, honestly i felt nervous and i wasn't confident with my ability but by the time i know how to handle it. Working with many people from other countries make me realize that i have to know how; how about their culture, how about their work, how about their habits, how to communicate with them, etc.esp for my job desk, i have met many people not only from my country but also from other countries and I have met many people from all walks of life. such as Minister, Governor, Grassroots, Community etc. and it makes me more realize that i need to know how to behave and how to put myself when dealing with others.

I like meet new people, i like make friends and I've learned that it wasn't easy to make friends with other countries, but working here make me understand that networking is important and it make me easier to meet many people from other countries. Since i worked here i have many friends most of them are from Japan. I have Japanese Teachers friends, University Students' friends, and also NGOs friends, etc. I wish i could go to Japan to meet them L .

Meeting people who are used to working with the community make me understand that there are lots of great people out there and they know how to build relation with people from all walks of life. They do not show that they are rich, smart and does not look as though they know in every way. They are very humble, very unassuming, they can embrace a lot of people and make themselves easily accepted by society. I wish i could be like them. Someday...
