13. Take an acting course. The best actors are actually being their most authentic selves, says Lindy Amos of communications coaching firm TAI Resources. Amos teaches executives to communicate authentically so that people will listen and feel connected. You need to learn to do this, too, and you may as well start in college.
第十三,上表演課。美國社會整個就是個舞臺。從教授、政治家、企業總裁,到律師、將軍、記者,不會表演就很難出頭。
14. Learn to give a compliment. The best compliments are specific, so ``good job" is not good, writes Lisa Laskow Lahey, psychologist at Harvard and co-author of ``How the Way We Talk Can Change the Way We Work." Practice on your professors. If you give a good compliment the recipient will think you're smarter: Big payoff in college, but bigger payoff in the work world.
第十四,學會贊美別人。在生活中,既要當好演員,也要當好觀眾。很多時候我總是感覺和別人有距離,其實就是缺那簡單的幾句問候和一個擁抱。
