Should I Shake Hands, Bow, Namaste, Rub Noses I mean..... it is puzzling.?

Question

WIth business travel spreading like wildfire and hosts and guests trying hard to please business associates confusion is order of the day. I was trained to bow to Japanese so when my partner from Japan showed up I bowed and he landed a karate chop on my nose. Seems like he was trying to shake hands. To an American I extended my hands and timing.. timing... timing .. he blasted my hand in the air with a Namaste he was probably trained to do at an Ivy League school. The other day a Maori gentleman grabbed my ears and rubbed my nose. Any cues to follow before unleashing the gesture of the day? Ideas, suggestions?

Answer 1

Yes.

Be yourself. When I went to China I thought that I was supposed to have business cards ready in both hands. Only in one situation did that occur, the rest of the time was handshakes AND bowing and then later they casually gave me a card and I casually returned.

Smiles are universal. It is good, especially if you are in a subordinate or a sales position, to smile really big, watch the body language, then do whatever they do.

They are also trying to accomodate YOUR culture, and incorporate it into their own. Always be respectful of their culture, and let them lead the way.

“The nation which first subjects itself to a rational eugenical discipline is bound to inherit the earth”
Francis Galton

NEOGENICS (EUGENICS?) IN A NUT- SHELL

WHAT IS NEOGENICS?
It is human genetics applied to alleviate human sufferings and to improve the human gene pool. With this we copy nature’s own reproductive plan (differential fertility). Major social problems like crime, poverty and illness are partly genetic and the remedy should also be genetic. So think genetically and act genetically. Good genetic endowment is the best asset to attain prosperity and except human beings all other living creatures survive and progress in this way.

WHAT CAN WE ACHIEVE?
1. Neogenics bridges the genetic gap in certain superior traits existing between the elite and the average. It compensates the selective migration of superior genetic stock from the poor to the rich, from the rural to the urban areas and from the underdeveloped to the developed nations.
2. Biological socialism leads to economic socialism. All attempts made so far to achieve economic socialism by imposing Marxism/communism have not achieved the desired goal. Capitalist countries witnessed considerable economic progress but failed miserably in equitable distribution of wealth. Biological socialism is the only hope to bridge the gap in wealth between the rich and the poor in a democratic way.
3. Neogenics helps increase the number of good minds and to reduce crime, corruption, cruelty etc. Attempts to transform society through moral preaching have not yielded any lasting results. Genetic transformation of the society will assure lasting peace and harmony. Repeated studies of twins have proved again and again the genetic basis of intelligence and behavior.
4. Racial mingling through neogenics will put an end to violence created on racial grounds.
5. By reducing the incidence of genetically transferable diseases (most diseases have a genetic base), great improvement in health can be achieved and thereby considerable reduction in medical expenditure.
6. Increasing the intelligence and EQ of the common man according to the needs of a civilized and technologically advanced society. The benefits of ascending EQ & IQ in a population are rather beyond our imagination.
8. Neogenics is the only method now available to correct genetic disorders in order to protect the right of the unborn. A child has a legal right to begin life with a sound mind and a sound body.
All these will reduce human suffering and place the human race on an evolutionary track as nature has been doing for the last several millions of years. It may be noted that we are the only species capable of directing our evolution in a manner that suits our wisdom leading to the betterment of our less fortunate fellow citizens and the species as a whole.
HOW TO ACHIEVE (ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS GIVING FULL RESPECT TO FREE WILL?
1. Encourage the production of more children among the healthy and the gifted couples.
2. Discourage the reproduction of the habitual criminals, mentally challenged and the sick.
3. Start sperm/egg banks of selected donors of better EQ and IQ for the benefit of the infertile couples (10 to 12 per cent of the population) and for those daring couples who want to bring about improvement of the genetic stock of their future generations.
4. Popularize genetic screening and genetic counseling to prevent genetically transmitted diseases
All the above steps may be needed till the advancement of genetic engineering reaches a level that enables genetic transformation of a society or individual through gene therapy, cloning or other means yet to be discovered or envisaged.

Answer 3

The Best Way is,
During your FIRST SIGHT,
If you could WISH them first in YOUR STYLE,
before they DO,
Then, they will try to take a proper training to say
"Hello or Namaste" LIKE YOU.
THATS IT
