By learning from each other, the East and the West could reduce alienation, avoid confrontation and promote cooperation for the ultimate welfare of mankind. By utilizing your intelligence, you will be able to enhance your own sophistication and your chances at finding success in life. The traditional Chinese wisdom provides sagacious methods and new perceptions in dealing with conflicts and resolving issues, which also can be applied to our day-to-day problems.
