Nice lady in neighbourhood sees me on the day of a job interview. She is so kind to give me some pieces of advise about how to think for this interview and what to say "to these Canadians"! She has a fine English accent and is trying not to make me feel bad for the suggestions I am taking. I am pretty surprised with what she tells me: "Modesty means nothing to a Canadian! Please don't say I might be able to do the job. Say I am sure I can do it!" She knew Iranians are usually modest but this was not the part that surprises me. What surprised me was the fact that she was not happy with "these Canadians" not appreciating modesty the same way as we do!
I love my neighbours by the way.
