in this new world.

Indeed, everything seems calm and peaceful here but there's a lot of undercurrents.

tell me how to build bridges and cross culture if that problem still exists?
I didn't want to think that way but circumstances and human behaviour pushed me to that edge.

Secondly, Teknik Pembodekan.
It's like sweet talking and i can tell you the cantonese terms you have for this technique.

You have...
  1. Carry someone's big leg. So, if you like to carry your someone's big leg (particularly those with power and status), you are known as the big-leg-carrier. Nice name, right?
  2. Polish someone's shoes. You will be known as the shoe-polish boy and you polish someone's shoes til they become super shiny.
You still need some skills to carry out the above two. Well, you need to have a sweet-mouth-and-a-smooth-tongue, and you must always rinse your mouth with oil.

People just like to sweet talk their way up, don't they?

they do so because they have no real substance except for sweet talking.

Screw the sweet talkers.

As C.S. Lewis said, "If you commit your hours to the sound performance of your craft, other sound craftsmen will know it."

The opinion of these other sound craftsmen, and of the Very Top (not the 'top' that these sweet talkers get to), is all that really matters.

So again, screw the sweet talkers.
