I would like to end posting on communication but accidentally came across a quote which is worth mentioned.

You can’t compete globally unless you have appropriate communication skills.

-John Wolfensohn-

What do you think? Do you agree with John?

The importance of communication skills to your career

The following quote is very intriguing. Connotatively it means no matter how good you are academically or professionally, without good communication skills, success will never be yours.

No matter what job you have in life, your success will be determined 5% by your academic credentials, 15% by your professional experiences, and 80% by your communication skills

It is true, I always remind my postgraduate students, no matter how good your research is or your findings are, but if you can’t present them well in writing, you will never be able to graduate. The assessment for postgraduate, especially full research, is entirely on written dissertations or theses. Written communication skills are thus the key to success.

Constructive conversations

Healthy conversations are conversations that can lead us to constructive conversations. Unfortunately, the ultimate aim of conversations to some people is victory. If winning is the goal of conversations, communication will never take place.
