前两章(一,二)的内容招来了一下网友的评论,有好有坏。
我永远欢迎有建设性的评论,不管有多难听。对于毫无理由的批评,
我不认为他们是脑残,只不过他们人与人沟通能力低下,因为这样的评论不能解决问题更无帮助。
我为这些人感到可怜,
这帮人极有可能在职场和生活都是失败者。
最近老中老印的比较主要集中在挨踢方面。这阵子出了几个老印CEOs,不少老中慌了阵脚,担心未来,害怕失去工作。前几天有那谁的妈撰文嚷嚷着要孩子不要学挨踢,显然挨踢的黄金时代已经过去了。更可怕的未来她没想到,挨踢印度外包,跟美国过去的制造业差不多,你说能不雇用老印的CEOs吗?
前面说过,从其他方面来看,华人并不输于老印,只不过有些人不知道,或者不愿意承认罢了,对这些没自信的老中你也没辙。拿电脑来说,王安风光的时候,老印在哪?要不是管理问题上出了偏差,比尔盖茨恐怕现在也只是码农一个。
今天讲讲艺术和娱乐业,也算是华人骄傲成功的方面。艺术界有不少老中名人。大名鼎鼎的贝聿铭就是世界闻名的建筑设计师。还有林瓔(Maya Lin),是设计越南阵亡战士纪念碑的。还有不少。他们绝对是中国人的骄傲。印度人哪去了?
华人很早就在好莱坞入戏了。华人早期来美修铁路,挖矿山,开洗衣店,中餐馆,这些都是美国人的生活内容,入戏是很正常大。老印来得较晚,而且都是学术为主,没啥好入戏的,何况他们也不是主流,谁整天愿意看书呆子啊?二战中美是联盟,里面也有不少电影故事。华人任主角应该是最近几十年的事。老印国内的电影业是非常发达。小时看过《流浪者》,《大篷车》等印度电影,又唱又跳的,是个欢快民族。但老印电影也基本上停留在国内发行,自产自销,在美国很少有。Netflix有一点。
华人演员当中,最出名的应该是李小龙(Bruce Lee),在当时绝对是风靡全美,甚至全球,名副其实的誉满全球。功夫热至今还在持续。李连杰也同样出名。有印度同学整天在我面前大赞李连杰的《少林寺》,功夫了得。此外,成龙,章子怡等也都很有名,家喻户晓。导演李安等都是奥斯卡奖获得者。老印哪去了?你能叫出在美出名的印度演员导演的名字吗?
前一阵子,有2014美国小姐来讲座,印度人,可惜时间紧,错过了,连名字就记不住了。
坦白说吧,比到现在,老印早就输掉内裤了。谁愿意,可以继续比下去,你不会失望的,除了拼字游戏以外。
