By RW Darrol
Thou shalt not expect to find things as thou hast them at home, for verily thou hast left home to explore different things.
Thou shalt not take things to seriously, for a carefree mind is essential for a healthy body.
Thou shalt not let other colleagues get on thy nerves, for one or both of you are likely to be transferred soon anyway.
Thou shalt refrain from acting exceedingly high and mighty for thou art the same serson thou were before thou hadst foreign allowances and entertainment accounts.
Thou shalt not buy everything thou seeth; thou already hadst a houseful of things stored in thy home country.
Thou shalt not lament about not being able to speak the language, but shall rather grasp with tongue and both ears this wonderful opportunity to enter into a new world.
Thou shalt not worry, for he who worrieth has no pleasure – few things are ever fatal and most of the troubles in our lives never happen.
When in Rome thou shalt be prepared to do somewhat as the Romans do.
Thou shalt not judge the people of a country by the one person who hast given thee troubles.
Remember that thou art a guest in foreign lands and he that treateth his host with respect shall be honoured.
