隔了兩年，再度回到義大利上課。這次的教育訓練有位很棒的義大利夥伴協助翻譯。隔了一層語言，用的時間難免更多，每天都超時一個小時。但是整個團隊都精神奕奕地上完每天的進度。

義大利人在碰到問題，需要討論（或是已經引起討論）的時候，他們為了找到一個結論，可以不管時間，就這麼熱烈地討論著。「我們寧可多花一點時間，也要把事情弄通，」義大利同事這樣告訴我。其實我還蠻欣賞這樣的哲學，有點浪漫的執著。

上到亞洲消費者最關心的關鍵字「moisturize」時，幾個兩年前曾經上過我的課的義大利同事眼睛一亮，直接用中文講了「保濕」兩個字，害我好感動⋯⋯

他們真的都記得😭😭😭

為師者，最大的快樂也就是聽到義大利學生兩年後還會說「保濕」給你聽....😂

#義大利團隊個個都很強
