Your point 2 is a fundamental difference between cultures that creates roadblocks in so many relationships. Thank you for your comments.

As a manager, I can feel when an employee feels this way and works so hard with all his/her heart. This makes me work extra hard as a manager for my employee. It is this cycle that leads to great results and a great life-long relationship. Thank you! Anna. As a manager, I can feel when an employee feels this way and works so hard with all his/her heart.

I would add some things that are essential. 1. The major differences in East and West are unseen. Philial Piety, for example, that always respects the eldest brother, the most senior, most revered. 2. You mentioned "save face" and that is so key. Asians tend to experience shame-loss o face, identity, respect, when a wrong is committed and we experience guilt, retribution, justice.
