Do you agree with the following statement? For future career success, is relate well to other people more important than studying hard at school?
There is a public debate concerning the issue that which factor contributes most effectively to career success. Many people claim that relate well to other people is the key to career success, while, some support the idea that focusing on professional skill is better. However, I believe that the significance of each element varies when it comes to different area.
First, studying hard at school provides essential preparation for future success in engineering or natural science area. We could see the reason through analyzing the content of an agricultural engineer’s job. In order to eliminate the lack of water in a farm, what an engineer has to do is to find out the water demand of crops and design suitable irrigation system. During this process, there is no need for this engineer to contact other people. Therefore, no matter his relationships with local farmers or his employers are good or not, people would admire him for his excellent job if his design really solves the drought problems.
On the other hand, in business or social science field, relating well to others serves as an indispensable skill, which is far more useful than academic knowledge. In these areas, most time of the job evolves dealing with other people. Take the business for example. Running a business is nothing like the economic text books describes. Besides the basic knowledge, one must possess other advantages to make profits, including persuading people to invest, discussing details of the plan with cooperators, being familiar with potential major customers. Consequently, net work of human relationship dominates the business field. More friends you have, more possible you will win the game.
Furthermore, in some areas, such as art, the importance of the two factors can hardly be evaluated distinctively. For an art student, he or she has to improve both skills together; missing each one will lead the failure in the future. Because art students need to know people, understand their preferences, even predict their minds, in order to create popular work of art. Only when a writer gets along with his family or friends, could he acquire sufficient background information to set up characters in his new novel. In addition, he also has to master the technique of writing to express his thought and make them easy to understand by readers.
In conclusion, I don't agree with the statement that relationship with others always deserve more attention in career success. On the contrary, I strongly recommend that it is wise for people to adjust their career strategies according to different subjects. |
