Touch the Sun

For Vietnamese cultural etiquette, I was taught to shake hands with both hands to the senior.

For international business etiquette, Chief showed me to shake with my right hand to show confidence and equality. I use my right one to shake hands with Chief ever since.

Once in Chief’s difficult time, he initiated his both hands to shake my hands goodbye. Jiffily - and clumsily - I replied with my both hands. First time in my life, out of a social ritual, I felt a human touch.

When business etiquette needn’t, or shouldn’t work…

    Letter to RMIT Vietnam Business Club - March 2007

    Category: How General stuffs work Comments Off

    Hi team,

    Work really drives me out of RMIT. Phew, time flies and I always have to be dashing to catch up with her. I believe Na and anh Toan are even busier with their occupation schedule.

    However, my commitment, loyalty and ardor to BC haven’t been chipped.

    From me

    I just chat with Chau when she’s already been in Aus. Congrats again Chau! Go and bring back the experience of the ‘outer well’ to your career, to teach us, to empower RMIT community and to strengthen BC.

    I phoned Ngan to get updated of the club and other clubs. That just made me more thirsty for fractional interactions like I always had had.

    to You

    Congratulations to our success so far. We have been the only student club in Vietnam to be published internationally - it was Dress for Success that earned this honor. We are the most illustrious club in newspapers - 6 articles for Western Fine Dining, nearly 10 for Dress for Success and nearly 20 for Grand Charity Series I. We are the club with best reputation in RMIT. I’ve talked to many alumni and the only club they remember is Business Club - well, I guess mostly because they always see me under my BC cap.

    Our members won the top 4 Student Leadership Awards in 2006: Na, Thu, Ha and Tai.

    I strongly believe that the 3rd generation will be even more successful. Please keep moving forward with your dynamic creativeness and resourcefulness.

    Best of luck with Team Apprentice, Team Buildings, Merchandise program and other grand projects.

    Best wishes to our beloved members.

    Tai
