TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I've been living and working in Asia; my Graduate Students in China
would BEG me (in private, so as not to lose face), to help them with
what they called 'presentation' of ideas.
My colleagues in Hong Kong (my peers), would ask for assistance in making
ideas 'more accessable' - - the Japanese, among others, strive for
'constant improvement.'
Attitude. It does matter. Self-esteem? How much self-esteem do you
end up with if you're so pig-headed as to think you cannot improve what
you're doing?
