Different country, Different culture. It's True!

Duck - Dog talk? Ya, if you never communicate to the people of that particular country, it can be frustrating!

In the process of setting up Potpots.com, I learn that communication is really an ART!
Internet and boardband are greatest tool on earth, as far as, speedy commuication is concerned. We got in contact with different people around the world to help us in setting up this business.

Yes, people from these places are really friendly. I can feel it. But the speed of work is hintered by the words and language we used. It takes time to understand them and then work in their styles. So I did a lot of cut and paste picture, writing really short sentense, speaking in broken English... Ironically, Potpots is the boss (paying) and yet, we have to drive in vendor's direction...
Well, really not much of a choice when you want to finish things faster. We call that "begin with the end in Mind" :)

Oh no no.. I am not complainting. That's not my style :P What I really want to remember here is people are positive and helpful by nature. Challenges might make our turn away. Perhaps we should put the other party before us, read it from another prospectives! This may turn challenges into solutions. Do not be afraid of being the one of less advantage, as long as you can reach your objectives.

Cheers! Skillful management of relationship speed up work.
