There was a young painter who made a living by painting portraits（肖像）. One day, a rich man asked him to paint a portrait for him and promised to pay him 10,000 dollars.

After a week, the rich man came to take the painting, but he was not pleased with it. He told the young painter, “I will only pay 3,000 dollars for this painting”.

The young painter was angry. He argued with the rich man, hoping the rich man would keep his word.

The rich man thought, “The man in the painting is me. If I don’t buy this painting, no one else will buy it.” So he said, “I will ask you one last time: will you sell it for 3,000 dollars?”

The young painter said firmly（坚定地）, “No. This is a shame for me! I would prefer not to sell it, rather than be humiliated by you. Someday, you will pay 20 times the cost for breaking your promise.”

For Chinese, we don’t like to talk about our private things with strangers.If you ask about someone's success, he might be willing to talk about something with you.If you ask about their failure, you can’t certainly get the answers that you hope to hear We like talking about success because we think success is something worth talking about.But failure is something that we want to hide.Of course, if a stranger asks you about your private matters, you will be angry So we also shouldn’t ask others about their private things to show our respect to them.One day, my colleague(同事)was asked if she had been married, she became very angry.she thought the fact that she didn’t marry made her very embarrassed because she was in her thirties.

They think expressing their own thoughts is the nature of human beings.All of these are different from Chinese.They are more active and outgoing than Chinese.
