Hi chong and adbie,

I know quite a number of the Americans I work with are able to frame things nicely in the right perspectives, present cases well and persuade people to buy into their causes.
Really smart people, and fantastic at presentations.

As to whether they are hardworking, hungry, desperate for work, I will think it's relative. If you put them side by side with hungry Indians, I will think they lose out. Desire plays a big part in success. That's why Indians make very good developers and software guys. But can they present like the Americans? I have seen... just one who could really measure up, and he's a damn smart Indian (and if you do a phone conversation with him, you will think he's an Australian) both technically and business minded.

Just my 2 cents worth.
