Learning how to communicate Nowadays, people are living in a society which is more and more socialized What is a very important skill a person should learn in order to be successful in the world today? My answer to this question is the communication skills The human society used to be little socialized, in which the relationship between people are not important A farmer was able to support himself by planting rice and vegetables himself, and there was little need for one to exchange things with others In such a society, the communication skills were dispensable While, as time goes by, things change gradually People in the society are becoming more and more interconnected with each other In business, a big project involves dozens of individual; in academic, it is usual that there are hundreds of scientists and engineers working for one project, for instance, the Apollo Project, and the Manhattan Project In such cases, the communication skills become a very quality for a good colleague One should be willing to exchange thoughts with others, to study from others And, the most important, one should have skills to share his opinions with others, and let others value his thoughts Only possessing these skills, can one make best use of his capabilities and well in his career, since he can make himself better understood and valued by his colleagues and the superiors This would be beneficial to both the person himself and the business However, this is not to say that once one has communication skills, he would definitely succeed There are a lot of other characteristics one should have in order to be competitive in his career At least one should virtually have some valuable ideas which deserve others' notice What is more, one should keep himself from communicate with others in wrong way As a case in point, it would be inappropriate if one tries selling business secrets to other company Besides communication skills, one should also have communication morals In sum, today's society is so socialized that the communication skills become a quality which is indispensable to a person if he want to be successful At the same time, there are some other important traits
