“It is a nice experience to study there, we can learn a lot of new ideas from people in western countries, because there I took courses with students from HEC and also exchange students from US, Europe and Asia. Professors also have a lot of practical examples to help us to learn about real business world.” |

“My big piece of advice is to utilize your time there well. Clock ticks way faster than you thought. So never miss your class (though I did once); that’s first. Second, read, and learn, fast. The faster you can study, the more time you can free up, that is your lifetime big profit. Spend your hard-earned freed-up time wisely. Third, don’t be shy; get to socialize with different nationals and ethnics. It IS your time.” |

“The school culture is very open and friendly, promotes networking cooperation and teamwork. Very helpful to establish a solid network in Europe. Be open, get used to hang out with your classmates. ESADE students put great time on networking, don’t let yourself be isolated.” |

“多伦多是优秀人才汇聚之地,多元文化的和谐交融之所,所以我准备好以开放的心态和谦虚的姿态去学习别人的长处。在团队的合作中,有的自然很投缘,配和默契,有的就很挑战。这些可能源于一些客观的差异,比如思维模式:中国人的思维跳跃,容易直接得出了结论,但是西方人思维严谨,喜欢流程式导出结论;再如,做事方式:中国人重灵活性,变数大,西方人重计划,变数小。更大的挑战则来自人与人之间的竞争。中华民族的谦逊有的时候并不被欣赏,甚至会误解为软弱无能。在时间有限的项目中,我学会放下清高,主动沟通,争取,甚至辩论,赢得尊重和话语权,才能真正意义为团队做出贡献。” |

“美国文化与中国文化差别非常大,自然,在学习中就会遇到问题。比如,老师上课的时候会举很多实例,其中很多都涉及到美国的社会、文化、背景等等,这时候,作为外国学生,就会感觉明明听得懂每一个字却不明白老师在讲什么,遇到这种情况,一定要大胆提问,老师非常欢迎学生在课堂上提问,不论什么问题(当然要跟学习内容有关),课堂上老师和学生的互动是非常频繁和活跃的。如果实在是不好意思问,或是老师已经讲到下一个话题,那么课后也一定要去找老师问清楚。” |

“一连串的事情让我学会了如何更好地去调节自己的心态,使我领悟到:好的心态并不是一切如你所愿的时候你能开开心心,而是当所有的事情都非你所愿的时候你是否还能情绪稳定甚至开开心心地去处理这些问题。” |
