Be Openminded. There are other ways of doing things, they aren't wrong, they're different - and that's okay.
Be Honest. We beat around the bush in England. Or lie, a lot. It's stupid.
Be Grateful. Whilst living without access to running water and central heating, with some of the happiest people i've ever met, i've learned to be grateful. It's easy, far too easy, to get caught up on what you don't have rather than what you do have. I feel so blessed to have been embraced as part of another family halfway across the world.
