Five human qualities without which Russians will have a hard time in New York

The mentality of Americans and Russians is very different, and it will take quite a long time to rebuild after moving to the United States. Channel author "50 shades of New York" on Yandex.Zen talked about what qualities are extremely important for life in America, and without them it will be difficult to settle down in New York.

Curiosity

Anyone who is constantly learning something new will always be in demand. Modern Americans spend a lot of time on self-education and development. The more skills and abilities, the more opportunities to earn.

I must say that the financial situation of Americans is in the first place, because they judge a person by how solvent he is. For US residents, public opinion is an important indicator.

Workaholicism

After Russia, it was difficult to get used to the pace that is followed in America. Getting up before dark to prepare a uniform for the working day is in the order of things here. People in America devote a lot of their time to work.

Career takes the main place in their lives, because they believe that without hard work it is impossible to achieve great heights. On this I agree with them. But sometimes such workaholism leads to sad consequences, people forget how to rest and relax. That is why there is such a demand for psychoanalysts in the United States.

Creativity

If you want your activity to be in demand in the American market, learn to stand out from the rest. There is a lot of competition in the States.

There are many workaholics in America, so there are many talented entrepreneurs and workers who take their work very seriously and put the interests of the company in which they work above all else. Success will be difficult without ambition and creative thinking.

Sociability

For residents of the United States, openness and friendliness are characteristic. It is necessary to find a common language with representatives of different nations.

Many questions are solved by connections. For example, through acquaintances you can get a job or find a competent specialist. What struck me most was that the people of the United States are not inherent in hypocrisy, unlike our compatriots.

Optimism

When Americans greet each other, it is customary to ask "how are you" and the answer should always be "good" and nothing else.

Optimism is part of the American lifestyle. People here are not used to complaining about fate or the government, because they understand that they cannot change the situation, and they try to go through difficulties with a smile on their face.

In America, they do not like dull and dreary people and do not understand Russians when they see that we are upset and upset about something.
