聖誕感言

首先，板主沒有宗教信仰。

耶穌降世是為人類受罪，

聖誕又怎會是快樂?

我們最多只會感到平安。

德蘭修女曾把聖誕大餐給窮苦人吃；

同事在香港見過露宿者在佳節收到五六個飯盒。

香港物質豐富，

但香港人心中不富有。

現在的聖誕過於商業化，

慢慢失去了宗教意義。

玩樂吃飽後還剩下甚麼?

之後又繼續工作，

努力工作後又多少人有蝸居?

Cultural difference

Sambey (1999) stated the following:
The basic difference in way English-speaking Westerners and people from some Asian countries think about the way that running a business or a company should be structured. People who grow up and are educated in Asia learn to value teamwork in the workplace. To them, organizations and groups are important, and it is also important to conform (符合) as a group to company policies. Business decisions made by a group, and group agreement, are valued and put into practice. Westerners, on the other hand, place much more value on the independence of the individual, believing that group organization is not the way to progress. Westerners believe strongly in individual thought, initiative, action, and responsibility, and have a strong need for freedom to express themselves as individuals...
