Hur? First let me give the answer, and then I will explain.
Integration is one of most important issues an immigrant needs to deal with in order to succeed in a new culture. This is even true in the same culture. Remember what your parent may have said when you left home for your first job, work with your colleague harmoniously.
Integration needs to and can be achieved in different aspects of your new life. The first aspect or level is society. Social interactions are a set of games and you have to play by the rules. Your rules, if any, do not work here. The second one is workplace. Remember what your parents may have said, as a principle, it works here too. Lastly, the spirit. Because your mental characters are somewhat related to your DNA which can not be changed as you wish, this is the most difficult area in which you can integrate, if not impossible.
The bottom line is that you have to integrate in this society and your company. As to the spirit, you are what you are when you close your door. However, if you do integrate at this level, you would benefit from it, definitely.
An integration process is challenging, sometimes painful, yet full of new discoveries.
