     Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius of his age. There are only a few men in

all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful

electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius." There is no

such thing as genius," Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.

     But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about

the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried

to learn what could usefully be done with them.

     Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult

work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men

enjoyment and pleasure.

     Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also

loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life.

"Work," he answered. "Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier." He said

he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.

It is easy to understand the way a culture approaches disagreements by looking at the communication styles in that culture. In societies where open discussion is encouraged, conflict is much more common and accepted. On the other hand, cultures that strive to reduce conflicts and maintain harmony do not see such interaction appropriate, particularly in the workplace.

In Australia, Great Britain, and the United States, for example, disagreements are considered a natural part of communication. People in these countries typically have open and honest discussions, even if people’s differences of opinion lead to confrontation(对抗，对立). In business setting, this may mean debating with a colleague or a supervisor over the approach to a task. Or, co-workers might have a discussion about whether an agenda(议程)item during a meeting is suitable or not. Conflict is not necessarily negative ，though. And many people feel that debating an issue is as rewarding as resolving it. Successful conflict resolution(冲突解决) is also seen as a valuable skill, most people at the management level are expected to be very good at handling conflicts that arise in the workplace.

The Asian style of communication is quite different. In almost parts of eastern Asia, individuals present their ideas and then wait for others to do the same. They prefer to seek agreement from a group without rejecting another’s opinions out loud. In business meetings, subordinates (下级) will hardly disagree openly with their supervisor. This shows respect for supervisor, and it reflects the cultural importance placed on politeness and building harmony and trust.
