Donut ke Kuih Keria??? (part 2)

Walaupun bentuk nya hampir sama tapi cara membuat nya lain... bahan nya lain... tapi matlamat dia sama... snack food or kuih dalam bahasa kita kan...

again nak bercerita pasal course pertembungan budaya yang aku pergi bulan sudah... ni aku nak tulis case study yg dibincang kan (kalau panjang sangat/kecik tulisan nya, malas baca blh skip... hehehe). ooh btw, case study ni ada nampak macam nak melebihkan orang-orang eropah (i.e. termasuk UK dan US)...

case study 1:

Lisa, an American manager, working in Asia, She talked to another ex pat colleague about her exprience: At firt she had enjoyed the atmosphere-it as very polite and people seemed very keen to help out. It was easy to get their agreement and cooperation. However, as time has moved on, she has found that the actions have not progressed at all - the deadline has passed and nothing has happened, nor has anyone given any warning that things were behinf schedule or that there was a problem. "I don't understand it, they smile and say 'no problem' but nothing happens.'

case sudy 2:

Joe has just arrived from his US-based Head Office on a secondment in India. He was overheard a complaining to his American colleague: 'These people just don't seem to get it. I have to give very detailed instructions to get even the simplest thing done. Unless i cover absolutely everything, problems usually develop. They just don't take the initiative to do anything over and above what i have outlined. I now they are bright; I heard some creative ideas being mentioned, but they are very reluctant to speak up and share them with me. I feel that they just want me to tell them what to do and then leave them to get on with it. This is different to what i see back home."

different culture jadikan kita mengambil langkah berbeza dalam menangani sesuatu perkara... tapi culture tu tak semestinya datang daripada 2 negara yang jauh... even dalam perhubungan sesama kerabat sendiri pun kadang kala tak kena... kenkadang tak semestinya sebab negara atau kaum atau agama berbeza... ia bergantung pada individu...

sebenarnya lagi susah kalau kita nak faham seseorang yang sama budaya, agama, negara... sebab kita ingat dah sama semua, approach kita pun sama... tapi ada masa nya jadi serba tak kena.. tak sefahaman... bila kita dah try our best to suits others... tapi still tak sefahaman kita jadi give up... tak nak lah kita merendah kan diri sampai terasa di control atau seperti kena pijak plak kan... so end up... buat tak reti jer lah... and let it be for others to understand us...

whether relationship semasa kerja or day-to-day life or even dalam keluarga pun... both kena faham, open up, communicate, tolak ansur... worst is... kalau ego yang ditatang dulu... tambah macam aku ni.. hidup pun keliling ngan orang yang sama... dah lah semua baru jumpa... at times nak jugak please semua orang... tp kenkadang rasa muak lah plak... people come from different background... different families... different environment... kalau tak reti nak adapt... and selalu sangat ingat cara sendiri tu lah yang terbaik... susah lah...

it's time to give and take... to communicate... to understand... to adapt... so that things can be done... hidup lebih harmoni... (unless memang nak hidup sendiri... then... tak perlu lah buat semua ni... dan jangan lah ganggu hidup orang lain...)
