A friend of mine was recently invited to work in China & accepted. As you can see this a very happy person. He is sending these e-mails to his friends (and he has MANY around the world); I want to share since I am sure some here can use a laugh (or at least a smile) after V Day.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR><BR><B>...I want to be a good guest in their country and I want them to like me... I went looking for a book of Confucius sayings... I can be pretty profound in the western world but, who knows if they will appreciate my slightly irreverent approach towards life in China. What I found was that the pearls of wisdom we find in fortune cookies are extracted from elaborate writings. <P>"I was able to find one document of Chinese Proverbs... I feel that they have given me great insight to the Chinese mentality. I have memorized them and plan to use them as soon as I can. I though I would share them with you.
