My Motto:

“Learning other people’s culture is knowledge - Not understanding or accepting is ignorance.”

“Treat people not the way you like to be treated but, the way they want to be treated”

Thus avoid misunderstandings.

“Live and let live, there is plenty for us all - don’t let greed play the part in life”
