Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? If you do not make sure other people (especially influential people or your employers) know about your strengths and accomplishments, you will never get successful in life

I strongly agree with the opinion, (删去逗号) that it is highly necessary to make one's strengths and accomplishments known by others, in order to succeed, for this is quite a competitive society nowadays, with abundant talented people, and （删去and） if we don't grasp the opportunities to exhibit ourselves, we may end up wasting our talents and live an unnoticed life which we do not deserve. (good)

To start with, we are all aware of the fact that it is hard to know someone in a short time and to a deep extent(不明确) . Unfortunately this is a time when people have to make quick decisions based upon virtually the first impression, like the situations in job interview, college application and so on. So if people cannot find out a way to demonstrate their abilities in time, they might be passed off immediately. Actually I have been through this kind of situation myself. When I applied for a postgraduate position in a research lab, I somehow forgot to mention how much effort I've made during last summer for my academic essay. The lab eventually recruited another applicant, and it turned out she had done almost the same work as I had, with the only difference that she did those work in the office, where the lab boss could regularly see her, but I did the work at home. The essential lesson I learned from this experience, is to always remind other people about my abilities and efforts.

On the other hand of course, I do not want to make the impression that we should put our major effort in self-showing business.（不错） I remembered at（删去） a lecture of job hunting skills (改为take a lecture about job hunting skills as an example)
when someone asked about how to make our resumes appealing, our tutor said that a modest resume bearing some really valuable experience would sell itself. This piece of advice would save much effort of those who dream for a quick success. After all, what's the point to exhibit our hidden potentials when there isn't any at all?

So to sum up, I truly believe in the necessity to show our strengths and accomplishments to influential people for success, but this demonstration should base upon really attractive context.
祝你成功        ！多练！
