Stop being Skeptical...!

Ironically, we find it difficult to comprehend, that business found by Chinese community very hard to maintain. A proverb said, “Family Wealth does not pass through more than three generation.” Many have wondered if this is superstitious.

Judging at the western business, for which we can see company that last over a century and still survive. Some blame it on the flaw of Chinese management style, or perhaps behavior that unable to keep business growing and maintain. They said, Chinese are more family oriented, and thus, you tend to see many family members in family business, and a person capability is ignored.

Where else, in western, promotion, increment, recruitment is based on merit and performance. They are careless about who you are but what you can perform.

Recently, I read an article commenting how skeptical our communities are. We tend to be very suspicious in life.

For those who used to work as a researcher before will find Chinese community very difficult to approach. They tend to shun away, worrying that you posses some funny intention, and they are not willing to even question.
