In China, people think being modest(谦虚的）is a virtue(美德）and being proud is bad. Once I heard an American boy say to a Chinese girl, " Your spoken English is good. "But the girl answered," No, no. My English is very poor. "The boy felt . He thought he might not make himself understood or the girl had not heard him " Yes, you speak very well," he said again. the girl still kept saying " No". In the end, the boy didn't know to say. What's wrong with the girl's answer? She didn't the praise in the same way as the American people do. She what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the west, people will feel and confident when they are praised. So if someone says the you have made is very delicious, you should say," "Thank you." In western countries, if you say " No" while working, people may think that you really cannot do it. If you often say "No", you'll certainly be upon by others. So in the west, you should be to show yourself. In my opinion, being confident does not mean being proud, so sometimes you should be confident of yourself.
