Embracing the Mosaic: How Language Bridges Cultures for Growth
One of the things I tend to do is open myself up to a variety of voices. I try to expose myself to the kind of culture shock that occurs when you talk to people who speak a different language. –Pierre Omidyar, Founder of eBay
Pierre Omidyar, the person who started eBay, once said something important about listening to different voices. He talked about how it’s good to learn from people with different cultures and languages.
He believed that by talking to people who speak different languages, we can learn new things and see the world in different ways.
Omidyar’s idea is that when we understand each other’s languages, we can understand each other better, which is really important.
Empowering Tip: Actively seek out opportunities to engage with people from diverse backgrounds and by embracing different cultures and languages, we open ourselves up to new perspectives and experiences.
