Nowadays, many people in China and Japan are racing against time. They put a lot of value in “being on time”. However, in some countries of the world, people have different opinions on “being on time”.

Germany

Thanks to its industrial past, in Germany you are expected to arrive at least ten minutes earlier for any planned meeting.

In Germany, being on time is risky enough because your hosts will probably already be there waiting, wondering how on earth you could be so stupid. What will you do if anything unexpected happens, like heavy traffic or a sudden rain? So remember to arrive early in Germany.

Saudi Arabia

Some countries care little about time and Saudi Arabia is one of them. It’s because of their long history of desert living where time is not the first thing to think about. It could be that it’s too hot to do anything on time. So don’t expect them to be on time. Moreover, looking at your watch during an event is even considered as bad manners. So don’t get angry with them, either.

Ghana

Most meeting times can be changed, even if an exact time is given, Ghanaians are very relaxed and easygoing. They think that if everyone is late, then no one is late. After all, what can’t be done today can get done tomorrow. If you find it difficult to deal with, prepare to be unhappy. Otherwise, sit back enjoy the ride. Refuse and ignore it.

Russia

Patience is considered a very important quality in Russian culture but being on time is not. When doing business in Russia, do be on time. Otherwise, it will be considered disrespectful. But Russians won’t hold themselves to the same standard. So, again, patience can be key.

Nowadays, TV PK shows(选秀节目）are great hit in China and have become popular among many young people. Some of them even give up their studies to attend these shows in the hope of becoming famous overnight. Some people think these shows provide people with more chances to show their talents, while others believe that attending these shows does no good to the young people.

It is true that some young people like Li Yuchun have stood out from plenty of competitors in the PK shows, but that doesn't mean attending the PK shows is a good way to become successful for all the young people. The following reasons can support my opinion. Firstly,TV PK shows bring restlessness(不安定）and might make young people hunt after fame(追逐名利）at whatever cost. Secondly, TV PK shows might be bad for young people's values. They may think attending the PK shows can make it easier to become successful, so they may look down upon the way of achieving success by hard work: Finally, if the young people fail in these shows, they will feel down.

In a word, I think taking part in TV PK shows is not a good way for young people to make a success. I suggest that young people think twice before deciding to attend a PK show.
