International health and infectious diseases control, you must clearly position yourself as to how you support and how much you intervene, and make serious decisions promptly. The more you are involved, the more you realize the hollowness or limitation of international cooperation, the gap between ideals and reality, and the importance of learning in the field. Capability development of local people and you requires un-learning some of what you have studied. What are taught and learned at classroom differ from what happen and are implemented. Sharing our failures and reflections in the field would be for beneficiaries not for our carriers. Retain multifaceted perspectives and a critical regard for ourselves, while being aware of the privilege of your learning.
