52 Proven Strategies That Will Position You to Excel as an Immigrant #18 Learn How to Shovel

“It is only the first step that is difficult.”
―Marie De Vichy-Chamrond
Many immigrants from the tropics have never seen snow, let alone shoveled it. This chapter emphasizes the need to be a good host and help in shoveling when the powder falls. Many have never experienced freezing temperatures before, and it will take some prompting for them to go out and shovel.
You may be wondering why this subject must be discussed here. There is nothing more infuriating and discouraging than not knowing what is expected of you, especially when you are living with other people who have expectations of you, and you are clueless. If something is not done, the relationship will be strained. This can be prevented by proper communication, and one of the goals of this chapter is to do
that.
There is no other option than getting out there and clearing the snow.
It may be true that you have never experienced snow, let alone talk of shoveling it, but
this is not an excuse for not learning how to do it and doing a great job. All you need is to show interest, ask questions and follow instructions, and you will be fine.
