Speaking English Online - Part III

Mọi người dĩ hòa vi quý nhé, không thì cái thread này biến thành nơi aloxo thì phí cái nhà mới của SE
TOPIC FOR FRIDAY ( PLEASE BE PREPARED )

READ THE STORY CAREFULLY AND ANSWER THE QUESTION BELOW:
I majored in economics, got an MBA, worked at a bank, then a phone company, and became a cartoonist.
For every person who studies something specific, such as the law or medicine, and actually ended up in that sort of career, I think there are five who let chance pick their careers. That works out more often than you?Td think, but you can?Tt recommend it as a career strategy. Instead, I recommend a general formula for success. Allow me to explain.
If you want an average successful life, it doesn?Tt take much planning. Just stay out of trouble, go to school, and apply for jobs you might like. But if you want something extraordinary, you have two paths:
1. Become the best at one specific thing.
2. Become very good (top 25%) at two or more things.
The first strategy is difficult to the point of near impossibility. Few people will ever play in the NBA or make a platinum album. I don?Tt recommend anyone even try.
The second strategy is fairly easy. Everyone has at least a few areas in which they could be in the top 25% with some effort. In my case, I can draw better than most people, but I?Tm hardly an artist. And I?Tm not any funnier than the average standup comedian who never makes it big, but I?Tm funnier than most people. The magic is that few people can draw well and write jokes. It?Ts the combination of the two that makes what I do so rare. And when you add in my business background, suddenly I had a topic that few cartoonists could hope to understand without living it.
Capitalism rewards things that are both rare and valuable. You make yourself rare by combining two or more ?opretty goods? until no one else has your mix
I always advise young people to become good public speakers (top 25%). Anyone can do it with practice. If you add that talent to any other, suddenly you?Tre the boss of the people who have only one skill. Or get a degree in business on top of your engineering degree, law degree, medical degree, science degree, or whatever. Suddenly you?Tre in charge, or maybe you?Tre starting your own company using your combined knowledge.
At least one of the skills in your mixture should involve communication, either written or verbal. And it could be as simple as learning how to sell more effectively than 75% of the world. That?Ts one. Now add to that whatever your passion is, and you have two, because that?Ts the thing you?Tll easily put enough energy into to reach the top 25%. If you have an aptitude for a third skill, perhaps business or public speaking, develop that too.
What are your three ?opretty good? skills , which you want to develop more ? Your combination ? And can you think of a job comes from those combination of those ?opretty good? skills ?

Hmm, chủ đề hay lắm, nhưng nghĩ ra 3 cái "pretty good" của mình để nói thì khó nhỉ? Bịa đại ra được không?

As you wish ; Falling Leaves

@Mit: Chắc Mit trách đại ca chưa chào hỏi Mit đây mà. Đại ca ngồi lủi thủi một góc ngắm mọi người thôi, chả ai để ý đâu.
@Mr Đăng: Không có chi (not at all

Việc gì phải bịa
Em Hoài:
1. Người nhỏ, làm ăn trộm rất là tốt. Hoặc làm ôsin rất hay, vì ăn ít.
2. ... hơi chậm, làm cố vấn rất hợp, chẳng bao giờ hấp tấp cẩu thả bao giờ, nghĩ nát nước nát cái chín nẫu chín nhừ rồi mới quyết định --> cố vấn rất tốt (nhưng chỉ làm cố vấn thôi đấy)
3. Hay cãi anh bít. Có 1 hội anti-bit hiện số thành viên đông cả ngàn nhưng thiếu 1 cầm đầu là người đả phá bít quyết liệt --> em ko làm thì ai làm.
4. ......... Tối nay anh kể tiếp.

What a pity I didn''t join such an interesting topic yesterday. Going to bed early to have a good preparation for fighting to Mr Bit (after setting alarm at 10PM already) but I can''t help myself
After half an hour being confused what to do, wake up to listening to Mr Bit''s sweet voice or keep on sleeping with a sweet dream, I chose the second
I wish that I could turn back time now

Em la new member o box nay ạh.Cho e hoi la topic nay chuan bi cho tuần sau phải kg ạh ?

Why don''t we use skype to SE online ? It is easier and more popular than patalk . It''s my opinion.
