Soft Tone Win Heart

" Soft Tone win Heart "

No matter how rich you are or how powerful you are, if a nation or individual is too proud of it, no one will love you or respect you !

During the 2008 Olympic Games, in Beijing, eight Americans were sentenced to ten days of detention for puting up "One World One Dream Free Tibet" banner near the Bird Nest Olympic Stadium and conducted "Free Tibet" demonstration.

For this matter, the American Ambassador to China have sent an open letter to China government to demand to release those offenders immediately and complain that the Chinese government treated these people more lenient especially during the olympic period.

The American Ambassador should know very well that:

- The 10 days detention for their serious offense is already a very lenient sentence as compared to their old day policy.

- After 10 days of detention, usually they will be deported from the country.

Therefore, the Ambassador unfriendly interference in fact is not necessarily but using strong word and harsh tone to protect any matter happen to oversea Americans no matter they are right or wrong, seems to be the most of American Embassy normal practiced. That is why Americans can not win the heart of the world people.

"Soft tone win heart" is something all American Embassy should realize and practice this theory to win the heart from the world people !

客气赢得人心

不管你多富有或多强大，如果一个国家或个人都太骄傲，没有人会爱你和尊重你！

在2008年奥运会在北京举行期间，8名美国人被判处10天的拘留，因为他们张贴“同一个世界，同一个梦想，西藏自由！”的旗帜，并在鸟巢附近进行了“解放西藏”的示威。

为了这件事，美国驻北京大使馆给中国政府发了一封公开信，要求立刻放人，并责怪中国在奥运期间没有给予这些人方便和宽容。

美国大使应该非常清楚的知道：判处10天的拘留比较以前的政策已经是非常宽容的了，10天拘留期满后，他们将会被驱逐出国境的。

因此，美国大使用不友善的公开信干涉是没有必要的，但采用强硬手段及使用不客气的外交词令保护其侨民（不管他们是对还是错），似乎是所有美国外交官的基本态度，这就是美国不太被世人所喜欢的原因。

“客气赢人心”这是所有美国外交使节应该懂得并实行的态度才能争取得到世人的欢心。
