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,上表演课。美国社会整个就是个舞台。从教授、政治家、企业总裁,到律师、将军、记者,不会表演就很难出头。
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,学会赞美别人。在生活中,既要当好演员,也要当好观众。很多时候我总是感觉和别人有距离,其实就是缺那简单的几句问候和一个拥抱。
