Our new foreign students are going to arrive in Nankai very soon. They will stay with us for two weeks. Here are some ways to communicate with them properly.
How close do you stand when you talk to a friend? You can stand close to people in the Middle East but don't stand too close to North Americans! Give them more personal space.
Do you know how to touch(触碰)people? Chinese girls often walk arm in arm with their friends.
South Americans sometimes hold your arm when they talk to you, so you can't move away! But in Britain many people don't like other people to touch them at all.
Do you look at people when you talk? In some places, it isn't polite(有礼貌的) to look at people when you talk, but in other countries it isn't polite to look somewhere else. In Britain and the US, people usually look at each other when they talk.
And how do you say goodbye? That's easy, wave to say goodbye. But be careful! In Greece, it's not at all polite!

A group of grown-ups, all did well in in their jobs, went to visit their old teacher. Soon they began to complain（抱怨）about the stress in work and life.
The teacher went to the kitchen and returned a pot of coffee and all kinds of cups --crystal(水晶的), glass, plastic(塑料); some nice looking, some just common; some , some cheap. And he told them to help to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said, "I that all of you took away the nice looking expensive cups, leaving behind the common and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to take only the best for yourselves, that is the cause of your problems and stress.
You know that the cup itself doesn't make the coffee more delicious. you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, you just went for the best cups.
Now think about this: Life is the coffee. The jobs, and position(地位) in society are the cups. We just use them to hold life, and the type of cup does not change our life. Sometimes, by seeing only the cup, we forget to enjoy the coffee that God us. God provides us with the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee!"
The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make everything .
Live simply. Love generously(慷慨). Care deeply. Speak ,And leave the rest to God.
