I've heard that "crisis" and "opportunity" are the same word in Japanese, but I've always doubted that. If true, though, it might explain your wife's attitude.

In Chinese, the ideogram for the word crisis 危机 is made up of two characters: danger 危 and opportunity 机.
The ideogram exists in Japanese too: 危機. Just that the second character comprises more strokes.

Do things like that make Chinese and Japanese people (and Korean, I assume) perceive crises differently than others?
