Opening Remarks 
There is no need to say that there are great differences in people behaviour 
and communication in different countries. As each of them has its own 
traditions, customs, and culture of behavior this can make a serious barrier for 
business and professional relations. It is highly advisable for a businessman to 
be informed exactly about the rules of behaviour in this certain country, in the 
country they deal with in order to establish their relations in a proper way. 
Knowing the rules of etiquette may keep you from making a fool of 
yourself in many occasions. It also will save you a lot of trouble and not a few 
embarrassing moments. Since we are dealing with the English language, we are 
going to speak on the rules, which are common in the English speaking 
countries, basically in the USA as they are the main trend setter in the economic 
and business life of the world. 
Americans say that if you really want to be a success as a businessman, 
promise yourself: 

to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind; 

to talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet;

to make all your colleagues feel that there is something in them; 

to look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come 
true; 

to think only of the best, to work only for the best and expect only the 
best; 

to forget the mistakes of the past and press on the greater achievements 
of the future; 

to give so much time to improvement of yourself that you have no time 
to criticise others; 

to be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too 
happy to permit the presence of trouble. 

And now some famous statements about work:

Nothing is better than that a man should rejoice in his works. (The Bible) 

No matter how much work a man can do, no matter how engaging his 
personality may be, he will not advance far in business if he cannot work 
through others. 

Wealth is not only what you have but it is also what you are. 

Human intelligence is millions of years old, but it does not seem to act 
its age.
