I am definitely not smart enough for this. This is like…a prodigy type program. But I’ll give it a shot nonetheless. Why the hell not?! That’s my new mindset.

从坏处着想，往好处努力。
…..
Yeah and this one too:

I am coming to the realization that if you are dealing with Asian professionals overseas, you have to re-adapt to how your parents have behaved since you were born. Of course this is assuming that you are a second generation child. Although annoying, I have to really use my sense of image, family, title, and sense of hierarchy. Embrace those ideals and keep them in check. That is the only way to survive over there in the Other World.

Will I be able to survive in what I am planning to do? Apologies for the vagueness, but I find it as an excuse to get overseas. We will see if this is the right choice of action.
