| | | It is not a secret that a company’s success is heavily based on |
| | | its people.An employee is |
| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'defined')">defined</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc" >defined</span> |
| | | by his/her talents,knowledge and |
| | | abilities.This is the |
| | | “<span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'visible')">visible</span>” |
| | | “<span class="word-bc" >visible</span>” |
| | | side of an employee.The |
| | | “hidden”side,which is also important,is the cultural |

| | | <span class="word-bc" >identity</span> |
| | | .The |

| | | misunderstand each other.When I applied for the position at an |
| | | international trade company,during the interview,my |
| | | interviewer,who is from Egypt,was saying |
| | | “<span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'quote')">quote</span>” |
| | | “<span class="word-bc" >quote</span>” |
| | | ,but to me,it |
| | | sounded like “court”.It took me a while to |

| | | <div class="bodystyle"> |

| | | understand what he meant,and I still remember how |
| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'confused')">confused</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc" >confused</span> |
| | | I felt |
| | | when I had to reply without knowing what he was asking about.You |

| | | <span class="word-bc" >unacceptable</span> |
| | | in another culture.In my home country of Latvia,it is |

| | | <span class="word-bc" >disturb</span> |
| | | a colleague if the matter is |

| | | <span class="word-bc" >tendency</span> |

| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'traditions')">traditions</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc" >traditions</span> |
| | | ,you will finally find the best way to respectfully communicate. |

| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'barriers')">barriers</span> |

| | | most |
| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'appropriate')">appropriate</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc" >appropriate</span> |

| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'tone')">tone</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc" >tone</span> |
| | | can make the communication more smooth,and you will be surprised |

| | | .On |
| | | the road from 2008 to 2022,I learned to grow up with my country and the Olympics. |
| | | </p> |
| | | <p>In 2008,hosting the Olympics was new to China and I was then new in covering the Olympics as a |

| | | .Seven years later when we won the right to host the Winter Games,I did not think that Beijing |
| | | would be the world’s first city to host both the Summer and Winter Olympics.Now it was real and I was |
| | | simply enjoying the moment. |

| | | <p>Turning up as simple but |

| | | due to injury.In the |

| | | <p>It was like getting over my schoolgirl crush and focusing on learning to love.</p> |
| | | <p>I could not agree more with what a gold medal winner said during an interview.“In 2008 we |

| | | <span class="word-bc" >impressed</span> the |
| | | world while in 2022 we became people-centered —for athletes and the people.” |
| | | </p> |
| | | <p>I failed to control myself the moments when the Chinese national |
| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'anthem')">anthem</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc" >anthem</span> |
| | | was played and when images of |
| | | people from all walks of life were displayed during the scene of “Paying Tribute to the People”.It is this |
| | | country and its people that made the Olympics happen.I’m as tearful as usual for now I’m deeply in love. |
