- For example for me,
working in the shipping line,
which is a very mutlicultural environment,
with the people I work with,
but also with the subject matter.
I deal with a lot of
matters pertaining to China,
pertaining to Asia as well,
so the mere fact I can speak, I can write,
I can read Chinese fluently,
it was a huge advantage.
So that's why I sometimes I talk to people
coming from international law background,
international students
background, I always
say to them, look for opportunities
where you can maximise and
utilise your advantage;
your linguistic advantage
for that example.
But even from a cultural perspective,
I guess because we are
doing a lot of business
with Asia and because there
are student youngsters
without the cultural difference,
so if you're coming from that background,
people will always come to ask you
how should I handle
this particular client.
And they always will come
to seek your expertise
because you are a native
person from that culture.
So I would say from your last question,
the disadvantage can really be utilised
and changed to be advantage.
And so, if we change our perspective
and we find the right opportunity
and right place, really,
it will work for us
rather than against us.
