支持. 我一直想写点东西, about being graceful. 昨天老婆收到了客户BA的email, 夸奖老婆做得好, 还cc了她的老板. 这种事, 我们就很难做到. 我们往往 take good things for granted, but jump up at not-so-good things. 我觉得印度人为什么比我们容易被提拔, 跟这个有关.

bravo , right on point ! "graceful" is the key word here. it is a philosophy of living. that is the gap between a pleasant person and an unpleasant one.

呵呵，这样的事我常干。当我的business partners （我们算是他们的客户）做的很好的时候我会不吝言辞地夸奖，发thank you letter 给他们的CEO让转发给办事的人。每个人都需要recognition，学会appreciation别人的工作也是一种必备的美德。

是，很容易显得 rude 。to disagree, 可以换成，一个困难表情，加上 "well, I am not too sure about this", or "maybe, emm, but what i heard is ..." or somewhere in that vicinity ...

You've got excellent points. It's a pity that you wrap up.

说的有些道理。老外的交谈讲究的是carry on conversation，谈话过渡柔和，即使有不同意见也是先肯定后否定。而中国人之间的谈话习惯偏于直来直去，特别是在网上，多半是直接端出自己的point，这个也没有什么不妥。唯一要注意的是和不同文化的人交流，尽量采用对方的文化习惯。。。

同感。也许是连接词、语气词等等掌握得不够娴熟的缘故，有人喜欢用“No, I don't think so,” 来开场，显得很唐突粗鲁。有些常用语我们都会，只是用得不好。比如：I'd prefer...
I'd suggest...
It would be great if...

The established law or not defines its people. In my experience, chinese are the worst to voice -- too modest and too simple.
