In the Indian culture, the hardworker - the one who has shown the most resilience, risen from the ashes, fought their way to the top, put hours together just fighting and struggling to reach their goal is respected and seen as the one who has succeeded in life.

Success without struggle, isn't success enough in the culture largely, atleast as what I analysed through indian cinema and other "success" stories that are trumpeted about and people feel proud of.

There is a sense of pride attached to struggle.

A conversation with a dear friend though today made the reflect on my own personal idea of "hardwork." She told me to try working hard to pick up the pen in front of me.

I froze. Like I always do when the inner monologue in me tells me to work hard.

Picking the pen up was simple. Just had to lift it up without directing my brain in any way. But the connotation of "work hard" to it made me not lift my hand up because it has to be hard right?

It is definitely a personal thing of how I have been conditioned to look at hardwork and why it puts in me in a state of freeze. I always perform the best the first time I do something maybe because there is no estimate of how hard I would have to work to make it happen, it all just happens without expectations in a state of flow.

I wonder then, how is working hard looked at in different cultures? Is there a pride linked to working easy in any cultures?

(Disclaimer : This does not take away the fact that work easy does come with a lot of privilege. Yet, do we have any ideas on how working hard might look like in other cultures?)

⁠1. According to your perspective, how does a typical day/week of an average person from your country look like? 2.⁠ ⁠What do people appreciate, value the most in your country? 3.⁠ ⁠What is something that is very specific to your culture?

The boy who named Black Boy will be innocent and free from allegations held against Runic boy, and the Pharoahs. He will remain under nigga protection.

Runic boy must stay away from the one named Black Boy for three years. No charge for the Pharoahs.

There will be a safe distance given to the Pharoahs and Black Boy. Black Boy also must stay away for five years from the Pharoahs.

Pharoahs are innocent until proven guilty for practicing their culture. I have to give them a separation.

im a piano player and bass player.

i know a white singer / rapper who is amazing, sounds so cool... the person grew up in a black area of detroit since he was a kid, but no one will book our band as they say the singer is a culture vulture. i dont understand because the singer has literally grown up playing in church bands and even ghost writes for other no white artists..

how does this happen ?

What are some unusual or fascinating practices you've come across in different cultures or places that might seem strange to outsiders?

Curious to know!

Hello, but if a random talk, but I am a Sherpa and have been working as a porter for the last 5 years (23m). Overall, although I am still close to my family values and religion, I feel a little distant. I speak english quite well as my parents wanted me to learn in order to work with tourists. I don’t speak our native language as fluently as my parents and i feel more accustomed to european culture as those are the majority of my clients. I feel that I spend the majority of my time with my clients rather than my family, and my life is more based around working and money, and that has meant that i have grown distant to my family and culture.

I'm (23F) Brazilian, going to stay 2 months in England with my bf (31M) in his house. I will meet his parents, his friends and work colleagues, and I'm also going to meet my best friend that introduced me to my current bf. We are going to spend 1 week in London and meet a few online friends there. I've never done any thing like that, I'm excited but scared of fucking it up and doing something stupid specially related to culture. Plus I've never experienced weather as cold as what you see in England before. I don't have clothes that will keep me warm so I'll need to buy them there, but I don't know how to keep myself heated and still look good during the winter, I also don't know any stores to buy clothes. If anyone has any tips for me, please let me know, I think that will calm my nerves.
