Discipline in China

Discipline in China
mak May 28, 2014 20:58

I visited China for the first time in 2006. I had heard a lot of stories about how China had developed and that people were very hard working. Hard working is fine , but hard working with proper discipline is a must.

 

From my trip to China I figured that it was not a laid back country. The people were always on their toes. Whatever had to be done , had to be done on time and with serious punctuality. 

 

In India we are used to getting up at 7 am and reach offices by 10 am orso. But if you are visiting China , you have to get up at 6am surely and be there at the offices at 8, max 8.30. 

 

In China I also noticed that Chinese are very particular about the time they eat food. They will cease to do any other work as soon as it was their lunch time or dinner time, which would be normally between 11.30 am to 12 o clock and 5.30pm to 6pm respectively. The dinner is mostly taken outside with family or friends after they are back from their jobs which normally gets over by 5PM.

 

Its a great tradition where families spend lot of time together after dinner and men also have time to catch up with friends over few beers at a KTV or a bar.

 

Next morning the same routine follows............
