How to get along with people from many different cultures.

This country, U.S. is good place to meet many different cultures. You get along with people from many different countries in your job, school, sometimes at the super market.e.t.c....
First of all, you need to get ready for your self. If you live in the different country, you must have had some culture shock. Some people hide in the shell, means keep yourslf in your community.But what I recommend to do is accept a lot of difference and absorb or learn form these things than get yourself stronger because you don't know how big the sea is while your swimming the sea.
Second of all, respect. Each country has respect in different way. Yet, respet starts every relationships. Even though your family, you have to respect. Friends are same things in a lot of stuation.If you respect your friends, your boss and also yourself, around you respect you.
Third of all, smile. If you can accept and respect people no matter where they come from, you can smile from your feeling. Being proud of your culture is a great thing to live. But boring pride is makes you not intersting and not bring smile for each people.
Therefor, getting along with people from many cultures are not so difficult if you accept another clutures, respect another cultuers and swallow your pride a little bit/

This is really good advice for getting along with people from another culture. You like to use figurative language such as about swimming in a big sea, and you do it well. Getting along really does require people to make adjustments within themselves. People from so many different places really make for an interesting life.
