My message
- No question is stupid. Ask questions. Ask more questions, however, try to respect the culture of your counterpart.
- See things from the others’ point of view, not only your own
- The Customer is King (and can be challenged)
- The two signs for crisis in Chinese say Danger (wei) and Opportunity (ji)
- “The lucky ones are those who succeed with everything, the unlucky ones are those who are hit by everything” (Eugène Labiche)
