Yeah, when people say stuff about "this is how it's done in my culture...etc." it's an immediate turn off. Good point! Thanks!

While reading this post, section "How culture affects communication", I just remembered some people who usually use their "cultural saying" when they are negotiating with others. For instance, I have met a lot of people from different cultures who tend to say..."you know, in our culture there is a common saying or proverb which says bla bla bla". And what they tell me, is not necessarily what I belive. I just nod my head to show appreciation when I met these situations Good post anyway, keep up the good work Alexis Yes Kumar, you are right.

What other people do is not about you, but it has always been about them. I remember reading The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz; the second agreement says not to take everything personally because its not really about you, its really about them. I know some people like me had always been affected by the people around me. I always ask what's wrong with me? why are they doing this? Do I need to change? Well, these questions will always put us into a life of low confidence and self-esteem which will affect every aspect of our life.

I really enjoy your commentary. One should believe whatever they want to believe, but one should understand in order for rapport to be created, one must believe what other believe. As long as your intentions are not trickery, then you are in the clear. Hopefully that made sense, let me know if you want me to clarify. :) Thank you Tess! I really enjoy your commentary.

I am not practicing today. To this day I think I'm a wonderful person because of Catholism and it's influence on me. However I also dropped what I didn't agree with ie, GUILT and that has helped as well. Great post! I was raised Catholic and attended parochial school for 10 years.
