Answer 1

Hi Thanks for bringing Hoffstede sins into my reading

I have seen Ethenocentrism, Amnesia in intercultural setting. Where people were either too proud of their culture or were forgetting their own culture values and were getting adapted to strong western values. The professional myopia sin tempts me the most, I often go with this dare devil approach knowing that I am a person of conservative mind and hence in order to progress I often use this approach though I want to bring it much under control.

I would not think much about future happenings, concentrate on my job than looking around and thinking of making myself stronger. Because concentrating on your job also makes you you stronger, rather than looking around for new challenges.
