5 Life lessons from 10 years in China | Cyrus Janssen | TEDxYouth@GrandviewHeights

[zeissiez]

I have traveled to over 50 countries. I don’t recall any country that I don’t like. People are generally good, just different. If you smile at people, more often than not, they will smile back. But unfortunately, politics make the world look much uglier than it really is.

We have to stop the culture of hate and distrust.

i had a chinese partner for a pretty long time. so i had to go to thina once. it was 2005. in my mind were a lut of prejudices about china. at the first day already i was feeling home there. first i didnt understand it myself. then i realized that the unbelievable energy i could feel (everywhere) in china was similar to the feeling in my childhood in switzerland (in the 1960-ies). my grandmom had the same attitude as i met in china everywhere. my partner wasnt believing at first because switzerland has changed a lot. people is so satisfied with themselves thinking they are the best. since that time i made a lot of chinese friends allover the world. it is like become young again when i am discussing with them. we could learn so much from china and the chinese expats allover the world if we are open minded enough.

You are already half Chinese and half American, combination of both cultures will create a more peaceful world!👍👌😄

Syrus is the symbol of humanity with great wisdom, openness, love and respect, I truly hope that the west medias with tremendous ideology and prejudice on China could learn from him.

Love this speech, I've spent 10 years in Asia in South Korea, China, Hong Kong and soon moving back to Beijing. Learning a foreign language, living abroad and learning about investing are all very humbling and life changing areas of experience. Greetings from a Swede in Hong Kong 🌆
