Just one note: Several items have fundamental differences. First, Eastern cultures value length of time versus speed. Look further ahead is more important than immediate results. At the same time, there is more calculation in Eastern cultures with ROI, return on investment. We started to get this in the 80s but abandoned it when it became passe with pop culture jokes about it. Think long term, very, very lon term, even beyond your lifetime.
Like an ant surving the colony.
