A person who gets deculturalised loses his self-confidence. He suffers from a sense of deprivation. For optimum performance a man must know himself and the world. He must know where he stands. A Chinese man may speak the English language better than the Chinese language because he learnt English early in life. But he will never be an Englishman and never have the Western value system inside, rather his is an Eastern value system.

Adapt, absorb, adopt. Cultural awareness. Cultural sensitivity. Cross-cultural experiences. No one is perfectly right. No one is exactly wrong. Feel, don't think. Think, don't react. Respond. Emotions are language-less. Responses are not.
