Some Favorites From Wisdom of Pandas

Look back and smile at perils past. -Sir Walter Scott

The most wasted of all days is the one without laughter. -E.E. Cummings

The art of becoming wise is the art of knowing what to overlook. -William James

Life must be lived and curiosity kept alive. -Eleanor Roosevelt

Fearless minds climb soonest into crowns. -Shakespeare

If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere. -Frank A. Clark

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. -Thich Nhat Hahn

Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment. Full effort is full victory. -Ghandi

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air. You name them - work, family, health, friends, and spirit - and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends, and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.

-Brian Dyson

Comparing countries in job terms

"Keep in mind the world-famous and infallible Swiss watches when arriving for anything. The Swiss all but invented punctuality. Get to a business engagement on time. Not early, not late, but on time.

Peruvians tend to view the clock as a guideline, not a deadline. Participants to a meeting may show up 15 or even 30 minutes late. However, it is a good policy to show up on time anyway. Punctuality at work is respected, if not reciprocated.

Time and punctuality are concepts that can seem to be non-existent in certain sectors in India. It is important to remember that time is a culturally-relative concept. This is especially true in rural areas; however, even in big cities, it is common for a repairman or a business partner to promise – by cell phone – to arrive in an hour and in fact arrive several hours later than expected.

In other language matters, ‘yes’ does not always mean ‘yes’ in Korea. It may mean the Korean wants to save face by giving the answer he or she thinks is wanted or expected. ‘Yes’ could mean, ‘I will think about it.’ Koreans are very reluctant to say ‘no’ directly. Ways of disguising a ‘no’ answer include sucking air through one’s teeth and using ‘maybe’ as an answer accompanied by squinted eyes or a tipped back head.

Those who want to negotiate with the Dutch need only one piece of armor: preparedness. No detail is too minute and a logically organized proposal is crucial.

Generally, the Irish are comfortable with risk-taking, although perhaps more so with short-term risks. Deadlines and making a profit are the main concerns in the business culture.

As a country, Italy virtually goes on vacation for the month of August. It is best not to schedule any major meetings or events from the end of July to the beginning of September.

Austrians make appointments as far in advance as they can, often a month ahead of time. Be wary of changing the time and place of a meeting. If this becomes necessary, make changes as soon as possible to give the Austrians time to revamp their schedules.

The French appreciate privacy. Office doors are usually closed; knocking before entering (this includes bathrooms) and shutting the door when leaving is expected."
