Lunar-tic: A lesson on mindsets
Posted on: February 18, 2018
I have a lunar tic at this time of year. I have to resist the urge to point out we just marked the Lunar New Year (LNY), not the Chinese New Year (CNY).
Wishing someone a happy CNY is perfectly fine if you are celebrating in China.
If you are not in China, you are not thinking about the non-Chinese who also celebrate the LNY, e.g., some Thais, Vietnamese, Koreans, Japanese.
Some do not give a damn and others call this semantics. I call this being inclusive and taking a global perspective. It is about adopting a flexible mindset instead of clinging to a fixed one.
Another dot in the blogosphere?
