H. Lodge article

Happiness Lodge said " It is typical of many Westerners to come to the islands and make the following comment: "Islanders are lazy!" And they say this for a lot of reasons:
1. They don't see productivity.
2. They see young Micronesians just hanging around.
3. They experience the fact that Micronesians are always late.
4. In a meeting, Micronesians never make up their mind.
He explained about how the two views identity. Westerners- money, job & success. Islander's perspective is having good characters (reputation).

I strongly agreed to this factual article of H.Lodge .... But what should I say, it is a learning process. The Westerners and Micronesian are both going to learn from each other. Westerners should recognize the importance of having a good characters as a part of identity. Micronesians should also set their goals high to become success educationally, get good stable job & earn big money. I was told by the Bouma that Micronesians easily give up on their goals and dreams, unfortunately many don't have any goal & dream at all. No question about it, it's obviously true, few are well educated, many have unstable jobs & more are jobless!
