Forbindelser omkring verden .... Connections around the world

I dag sagde jeg farvel til en gruppe af mænd som jeg har arbejedet med den sidste måned. Selv om de arbejder hos DEIF CHINA, har de været i Skive Denmark siden tidlig november for at lære mere fra hovedkontoret af DEIF, og under deres tid i Skive, var jeg deres engelsk lærer. Alle af dem havde allerede et højt niveau af engelsk kenskab, men det var vigtigt at de forbedre deres niveau siden engelsk er verdenssproget for firmaet. Jeg har nydt hver timer at vi har arbejdet sammen.....ikke fordi af hvad jeg underviste til dem, men fordi af hvad de har undervist mig.


Today I said goodbye to a group of men that I have worked with the last month. Although they work for DEIF CHINA, they have been in Skive, Denmark since early November to learn more from the home office of DEIF, and during their time in Skive, I was their English teacher. Each of them already had a high level of English knowledge, but it was important that they improve their level since the company´s primary language of communication, world wide, is English. I have thoroughly enjoyed each hour that we worked together.... not because of what I taught them, but because of what they have taught me.



Ting som jeg har lært fra Jason, Bruce, Dennis og Rick, 4 mænd som kommer langt væk hjemmefra, i et koldt, vådt, og mørkt land:

What I have learned from Jason, Bruce, Dennis og Rick, 4 men who are a long way from home, in a cold, wet, and dark country:



Har en positiv indstilling gør en ny situation nemmere at takle.
Having a positive attitude makes a new situation easier to face.



Uanset hvor meget jeg ved, kan jeg altid forbedre mig.
No matter how much I already know, I can always improve myself.



Støtten af venner er meget vigtig når du kommer til et nyt sted.
The support of friends is so important when you come to a new place.

Det er o.k. at spørge mange spørgsmål ellers kender du ikke svarene!
It is o.k. to ask many questions or else you won´t know the answers!



Når du lærer noget ny, er det o.k. at sige hvis du ikke forstår eller hvis du har brug for hjælp.
When you are learning something new, it is o.k. to say that you do not understand or that you need help.



Selvfølgelig, er disse ting noget jeg allerede vidste, men jeg er taknemmelig for min tid med Jason, Rick, Dennis and Bruce fordi de mindede mig om hvad der er vigtigt. I dag er en perfekt dag for at minde mig om den vigtighed af en positive indstilling da jeg i dag for seks måneder siden, flyttede til mit nyt hjem i Herning Denmark. Tak til mine nye venner fra Shanghai....og I kan være sikker på at når Mads og jeg endelig rejser til Kina (siden "The Great Wall" er på toppen af vores lists at besøge), vil vi også besøge jer! Held og lykke i jeres fremtid!

Of course, these are things that I already knew, but I am thankful for my time with Jason, Rick, Dennis, and Bruce because they reminded me about what is important. Today is the perfect day for me to be reminded of the importance of a positive attitude since six months ago, today, I moved to my new home in Herning, Denmark. Thank you to my new friends from Shanghai....and you can be sure that when Mads and I finally travel to China (which we will since The Great Wall is on the top of both of our "places to visit" lists), we will visit you, as well! Good luck in your futures!
