Introducing ourselves for the first time in Japan, it's frequently taken for granted that the first thing to say is what's our name and then what kind of job we're doing. I'm always stuck at this point, why it should be like that in the first place even though not knowing one another well enough. What I mean is that a job itself does have little things to do with a personality; nevertheless, some people tend to look on others with a pair of colored glasses soon after getting to know what they're doing as a job. For sure, in order to deepen our understanding, it would be necessary to gain that kind of information, yet not necessarily from the start.
"The way people are is more important than what they're doing."
That's what I've thought all the time.
