I am currently working at my Italian office and my Italian friend said to me, "You work too much, you walk too fast, you are always frantic. See how the Italians stroll – they do not walk fast as they have all the time in the world….. see how they are not stressed like western people. See how if they run into a friend they take the time to have a chat and a café with them even if they are busy!!
