Imagine this:
Congratulations on your promotion! You became the branch manager of our branch in Chennai. That town has more Japanese residents than any other Indian town. I will meet you at your new office. Let's design your new business card together.
Dialogue
N: Starting today, you're the new branch manager. Congratulations! How do you feel?
S: Well, it hasn't sunk in yet but I'm excited to work in my new post.（実感がわかない
N: So, how do you like your new office?
S: It's great! I have plenty of sunshine and a little peekaboo view of the ocean.
N: About your new business card, here's a draft. Your information is on the front. For the back of your business card, should it be blank?
S: Well, let's put some info on the back. Maybe we can have something about our products there.
N: How about languages? Would you like some info in Hindi, Japanese or other languages?
S: Good question. Let's keep it simple with English only for now.
N: Alright. And all branch managers get a golden card holder like this. This is my card holder. What do you thik?
S: Interesting. It's nice.
N: We can put our motto, or proverb on the golden card holder. Do you have your favorite word, motto, or proverb for business?
S: Well, my motto for life is keep on smiling. But for business, I like the phrase, learn by doing. That's how I learn languages and how I climbed the corporate ladder in India.
