Learning how to communicate

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 do 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.
