The Most Important Personal Quality of a University Student

The purpose of college is to cultivate qualified people who can establish themselves firmly in society by making use of their abilities. What skills can send them to the top? Broad-based knowledge or specialized knowledge in one filed? These are important, but not vital; they might bring you substantial wealth and fame before, but may turn out to be insufficient in this info-exploding era. To me, it should be interpersonal skills.

 

Imagine you are now in charge of a project, say establishing a website describing several products to the public. It can be done by yourself only when you’re well-informed about those products, a master user of web-making tools, know something about how to release a website and can arrange the above-mentioned steps properly. If you really can, then congratulations! But you would not always be so lucky, there would be times when you need others’ help. Whatever you need, you can get your hand on it if you’re a nice guy, a sociable guy, in other words, you’ve got good interpersonal skills. The fact is that if you have the support of the people around you, there is hardly anything that cannot be done. And you could barely accomplish anything complex on your own, even if you could, it is not done professionally. The man who has good interpersonal skills is like the glue that holds a batch of talents together, summoning the power when necessary without incurring costs. Chances are that we feel pleasant and privileged rendering our help to them. Strangely enough? Yet it is the reality.

 

These people simply make you feel a sense of familiarity and can make friends with you in no time. They say things that you like and treat you with sincerity. They are people to whom you can unburden yourself and people who always seem to be reliable. It would be lucky to have such a friend, however, it would be luckier for him to have you.

 

In fact, each one of us is trying to be such a guy, we read books entitled “How to be Successful” and “How to be Popular” and the like is the hard evidence. Yet they are few and are becoming fewer, why? There must be something wrong.
