The eastern and Western culture in the elevator

20 years ago, a friend from Beijing went to Hongkong. After his return and he talked about his feelings:Hongkong is just like Beijing,has a lot small alley, but Hongkong's alleys are vertical.Vertical alley up and down, all by the elevator. Lift and democracy are the same as the good stuff, not only practical, but also can observe the vicissitudes of life.

Here is a story of taking elevator in France.Just arrived in France, a friend told me about notes of taking passenger elevator .If you are not alone in the elevator, do not forget to let the ladies go first.After the ladies went out,the gentleman would like to let each other go first,and said: "APRESVOUS"(After you).

Some time ago the "Wall Street journal" published Chinese Yuan Li’s article, talking about taking the elevator in New York.She was amazed that  no one in the elevator push the close door button,instead a lot of people will press the key to keep the door open.

A few years later, when the lady back to Beijing, found that the level of Beijing has a lot less alley, the vertical alley has been comparable with Hongkong.She is in Beijing on the first day because in the elevator just stood aside, not to close the door key and lynched.Although the same ladder that person did not say anything, but his eyes and press the action has been the key to his dissatisfaction with the very clear.She soon discovered that in Beijing, almost everyone will press the door close button after come into the elevator .One morning, when she was in the habit of opening the door keys and a young man into the elevator, and he came up and politely.But after that he just keep his hand on the key bottom.Every time after someone comes in,he press the closing bottom to close the elevator door.He didn't mean to, because he seemed to repeat as a habit.For him, there was nothing more important than saving for a few seconds.

Time is money, we can understand that.The above example is the elevator inside the action, if someone press the elevator button, waiting for you on the elevator, what would you do?Generally speaking, most people see the elevator was waiting for him, will do like to speed up the trot, not to delay the time of others.Not just case it will save time,also to show his best try.If he did not try to run,it will be regarded as a rude behavior.

So, attitude means everything.
