第1中国の章

Ernie Tadla著

中国の見通し私がこの本を書いている間起こった何が私に。

「オハイオ州の東は東あり、西は西である、
そして決してトワインは会わない、
地球および空がに現在立つまで
神の大きい判事席;
しかし東、または、西がない、
ボーダー、品種、生れ、
2つの強い人が向きあって立つ時、
けれどもそれらが地球の端から来る!」
Rudyard Kipling 1889年

私が中国に行ったときに、私は中国語すべての事の否定的で、独善的な概観を有した。 それはcommunistic、godless独裁制だった。 私達は、一方では、資本主義的で、民主的な、キリスト教の社会だった。

従って7年後に、欲求不満、ある深刻な内部の会話に先行している苦痛私は私の範例を変え、自分自身が中国の方法についての多くの肯定的な事を発見することを許可した。

私はカナダに戻り、私の新しく、新しい中国の見通しからのこの本を書いた。 私が先に中国の方法を強くぶつけてしまったので私が今西部の方法を強くぶつけていたこと、私の編集者私の注意に持って来られるロスFreake。 私はストックホルムシンドロームに感染した。 今態度および範例の変更との完全な修正を読んでいるが、それがだった前にものに戻ってない; それに利益がない。

同期性によって、私は主要なepiphanyを受け取った。

それは全頭脳の統合の概念である。

続くことは2つの頭脳半球間の相違である。

左半球 右半球
使用論理か理由 使用直観か感情
単語で考える 映像および物語で考える
部品または細目の取り引き wholesまたは関係の取り引き
離れて分析するか、または壊れる 総合するか、または組立てる
次々に考える holistically考える
時間の限界はある 自由な時間はある
外向性がある is introverted
is characterized as male is characterized as female
identifies with the individual identifies with the group
is ordered/controlled is spontaneous/free

While our Western society and our education system emphasizes the left brain approach, it is important to learn how to create balance and peace with both sides of the brain.

analysis and synthesis
reasoning and intuition
extroversion and introversion
outer and inner
male and female
friend and enemy
capitalism and communism

My a-ha! The West is left-brain and the East is right brain!

Our actual brain structure includes the corpus callosum, a band of nerve fibers that bridges the two hemispheres. Interestingly, the female corpus callosum has 33 per cent more neurons than the male. That leads us to suppose that the female integrates both sides better than the male. Maybe that is why women can multi-task better than us guys.

East, West, left, right, wrong, right: which is best, which is right?
“..and never the twain shall meet,” or is it possible to meet?
This book is my story about how they did meet for me!

I believe the right way for humanity is to balance, to integrate the best parts of both. Instead of yes-but, it is yes-and.

Might this kind of thinking help us in our desperate search for world peace? Let us build bridges of balance to harmony, prosperity and peace.

Next week: Chapter Two: Apprehension and Trepidation.
How we got to go to China.

From the book:
How to Live and Do Business in China: Eight Lessons I Learned from the Communists.
Ranked #4 on Amazon’s China business books category of over 570 titles. The first eight chapters of the book explain my personal experiences in settling into living in Shanghai. The second eight chapters are the Lessons I learned about how to do successful business in China. I have just completed sharing these lessons on this blog and they can be referenced through the archives. The last six chapters consist of the case histories of Microsoft, Wal Mart, VW, DMG, an example of one expat who didn’t make the transition and a summary chapter.

    I think this article over-idiomizes the difference between eastern and western culture as some biological brain function difference, which is weird and not very scientifically valid. I also am sure that not all people work that way … for example, I am a male (checked this morning!) and multitask way better than my ex (a female, of course, otherwise I’d have no basis for this comment). With this counterexample, it’s easy to see that gender generalizations are silly. Do you really know how females are? Have you ever been a female? And can you really have world peace with resource contention that comes from having a limited finite set of natural resources?
