BODY LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL DIFFERENCES

The body language people use often communicates more about their feelings than the words they are
saying. We use body movements, hand gestures, facial expressions, and changes in our voice to
communicate with each other. Although some body language is universal, many gestures are
culturally specific and may mean different things in different countries. If you want to give someone
the nod in Bulgaria, you have to nod your head to say no and shake it to say yes – the exact opposite
of what we do! In Belgium, pointing with your index finger or snapping your fingers at someone is
very rude.

In France, you shouldn’t rest your feet on tables or chairs. Speaking to someone with your hands in
your pockets will only make matters worse. In the Middle East, you should never show the soles of
<b>your feet or shoes to others as it will be seen as a grave insult. When eating, only use your right</b>
hand because they use their left hands when going to the bathroom. In Bangladesh, the ‘thumbs-up’ is

a rude sign. In Myanmar, people greet each other by clapping, and in India, whistling in public is
considered rude.

In Japan, you should not blow your nose in public, but you can burp at the end of a meal to show that
you have enjoyed it. The ‘OK’ sign (thumb and index finger forming a circle) means ‘everything is
good’ in the West, but in China it means nothing or zero. In Japan, it means money, and in the Middle
East, it is a rude gesture.

It’s often said that we learn things at the wrong time. University students frequently do the minimum
of work because they’re crazy about a good social life instead. Children often scream before their
piano practice because it’s so boring. They have to be given gold stars and medals to be persuaded to
swim, or have to be bribed to take exams. But the story is different when you’re older.

<b>Some people fear going back to school because they worry that their brains have got rusty . But the</b>
joy is that, although some parts have rusted up, your brain has learnt all kinds of other things since
you were young. It has learnt to think independently and flexibly and is much better at relating one
thing to another. What you lose in the rust department, you gain in the maturity department.

In some ways, age is a positive plus. For instance, when you’re older, you get less frustrated.
Experience has told you that, if you’re calm and simply do something carefully again and again
eventually you’ll get the hang of it. The confidence you have in other areas – from being able to drive
a car, perhaps – means that if you can’t, say, build a chair instantly, you don’t, like a child, want to
<b>destroy your first pathetic attempts. Maturity tells you that you will, with application, eventually get</b>

<b>there .</b>

I hated piano lessons at school, but I was good at music. And coming back to it, with a teacher who
could explain why certain exercises were useful and with musical concepts that, at the age of ten, I
could never grasp, was magical. Initially, I did feel a bit strange, thumping out a piece that I’d played
for my school exams, with just as little comprehension of what the composer intended as I’d had all
those years before. But soon, complex emotions that I never knew poured out from my fingers, and
suddenly I could understand why practice makes
