[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 646357, member: 3419"] Suzir, on a little tangent ... I can always spot the black American taxi drivers in D.C and the foreign black taxi drivers. The foreign-born are smiling. This is based on race only because it's a quick, easy thing to do. Also, if I were to include women, it would change my observations. Anyway, yes, many poor cultures don't teach the gimme want-it-now attitude that we have. We have to teach ourselves, as was pointed out in a traffic jam, for example. Listen to music. Breathe. I edited a book once for a guy from Zimbabwe. He hates Mugabe, as do most people, and he is the only family member to have made it out of the country. He smiles. He loves it here. But it's more than that. Deep down, way more. [/QUOTE]
