Think of a culture that interest me, there are very few things that I find interesting and I would have to say different cultures are not one of them. Being that I have to choose one then I would pick China's culture. The Chinese culture has the most goal driven people from what I have found and that is why I chose it. The multiple things I could learn from in their culture that would help in my life are Business Matters, Ask for What You Want and then Slowly but Surely. "The large number of people living in China has helped in promoting a self-sustainable attitude towards work and making money"(Rusu, N/A). Business Matter is the first of the Chinese culture I could learn from. The Chinese put business before everything and most Chinese people that own their own business do not live in a house, they live in the space of their business.

The next part of the Chinese culture I could take and learn from is Ask for What You Want. "Unless you want to pay an extra 200 RMB for a pair of socks, bargaining is the rule — and like anything, practice makes perfect"(Payne, 2017). So many people in American Culture do not ask for exactly for what they want, being straightforward is extremely important. Slowly but surely is the practice that I believe will enrich my live. What this means is to take your time when working on something you want because doing things fast to complete the task does not always mean it will work out for you. Looking past the want to have it now and concentrating on the long term is what needs to be done.

When it comes to a culture that interest me, China is the country that I could learn from. China could help me enrich my life, deepen my business expertise, and improve my communication skills. When it comes to doing business, China handles their business differently than the American culture. In China, they will personally form a bond with whomever is wanting to do business with them. In America culture, colleagues may occasionally go to happy hour together and attend the office holiday party to get to know each other on a more personal level. Yet, beyond these office-sponsored functions, many Americans don’t necessarily socialize, or want to socialize, with their colleagues outside work. Many want to keep their professional and personal lives separate.

Chinese, on the other hand, expect to know personally those with whom they are doing business and want to foster genuine trust with them. In Chinese culture, trust is indispensable to building the confidence needed to do business with partners. Consequently, in China you are really expected to get to know your partners, follow appropriate etiquette and to socialize in a way you wouldn't in America. Investing now in relationship building, or guanxi, can pay big business dividends later. Heyer (2017).

Another thing that interest me the most about China is their verbal and non-verbal communication. Using China communication skills could help me to further improve my communication skills. Greetings are formal and the oldest person is always greeted first. Handshakes are the most common form of greeting with foreigners. Many Chinese will look towards the ground when greeting someone. Address the person by an honorific title and their surname. If they want to move to a first-name basis, they will advise you which name to use. The Chinese have a terrific sense of humour. They can laugh at themselves most readily if they have a comfortable relationship with the other person. Be ready to laugh at yourself given the proper circumstances. www.kwintessential.co.uk (2015).
