40、He was very short and thin and had large blue eyes.

I believe he had a hard life as a child, and I know that he left school at the age of ten and sta

41、rted work. This may have had something to do with it, but I can only guess. In later life I came to love him very much, but at the time I speak of he was an unsociable man, unfriendly even to the people closest to him. I never knew him to have a close friend as the other men did.Everything he did ha

42、d to be precise. If he chopped the sticks for the fire, each stick would be the same length and thickness as all the others, and they would all be stacked with not one out of place. His motto was “If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well”. In our household his word was law and nobody dared

In the last th

47、irty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices in Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world. Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder the foreign businessma

48、n and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.The American businessman, for example, wants to start talking business immediately. He wants quick decisions. He does not wait. The Japanese, on the other hand, likes to arrive at decisions gradually after giving them a great deal of thought. Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means “Yes” or “No”. This is because of cultural differences between Japanese and Western society which make it difficult for a Japanese to say “No” directly.15 / 15
