Double-minded v.s. bilingual mind sets

Thanks for James putting that double minded people on warning.
Gonna figure out a way to unite my bilingual minds... lol

First of all, bilingual people have two mind sets.
It's not like we are translating from one language to another all the times, it's like English is a language I am communicating with people, separated from Chinese system, and whenever the circumstances shift, it's related with the whole mind set changing.

Then, considering myself as a whole brain talented in Chinese, while having no any ideas how to active some part of the brain in English, which really scarifies me out. If there are someone doing research on this kind, I am the best volunteer and I would love to sacrifice for whatever the researcher requires, if it will benefit the people with bilingual background

Then, everyday, the same question will be put in front of myself, again and again:
Should I hug and kiss the chick, or should I shake hands, or should I just nod and greet?
Should I say sorry, or should I just smile and nod, or
Should I smile and be like myself, or should I consider the so called professional image in the Caucasian culture?
This is probably a surface symptom of mind sets shifting along with culture contexts changing.

At least, with lots of creative chaos, the double minded people made some history, such as Columbus' conflict public letters and personal journals...
As Coldplay wrote in Viva La Vida and I enjoy, with suspicion.
Good music, but we need some critical thinker to make it as a educational material.

Warning for me:
1. Be single mind first, before start doing anything sounds right and creative, for beyond whatsoever, what is good for me will keep faithful for myself, and if I am not single minded, it might be a mass chaos for others.
2. Pure Joy, even the profession is not allowing me, for some people just need a smile and itis just selfish to hide my smile for myself.
3. Write in Mandarin about my mind and personal thought, to just prevent the potential double minds. (in my personal blog)
4. Challenge myself everyday with refreshment.

=D
