Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
"For success in school and work, the ability to adapt or adjust to a
changing condition or circumstance is more important than having excellent
knowledge of a job or in a field of study". Use specific reasons and details to
support your answer.
范文：
Nowadays, employers are highly selective: requiring employees to have both
academic proficiency and social flexibility. Hence, to increase your chances of
getting a desired job, having the ability to adapt to a changing condition is as
important as having excellent knowledge of a job or in a field of study.
Academic data being equal, the ability to reduce conflict and increase
participation is a decisive factor that contributes to your career success.
To begin with, the ability to reduce conflict in school and work is partly
the course of socialization going beyond the school curriculum. Whereas
excellence in any field of study is essential, your success in work depends not
only on academic knowledge but also on how to adjust to a changing circumstance.
Therefore, it is advisable to learn to be able to adjust to a rather conflictive
society because this kind of social flexibility can facilitate your interaction
with other people. In other words, communicating respect for potential friends
and mates is instrumental to avoiding conflict, particularly in the workplace.
In reality, the process of learning this skill begins in school, in both verbal
and non-verbal ways. It may be said that without acquiring the ability to reduce
conflict, you may run the risk of becoming what is called a "social ineptitude",
far away from the spirit of teamwork.
In certain respects, the success in school and work is a matter of the
behaviorism to get flexible in social participation. Thus, you are supposed to
learn to be as agreeable and acceptable as need be, mainly through taking part
in (without intruding into) a variety of social activities, verbally as well as
non-verbally. Verbally, you can increase participation by using the skill to say
the right thing at the right time in the right place. It is because positive
participation implies your good skill in listening as much as speaking.
Similarly, in a non-verbal manner, you can increase participation by doing the
right thing at the right time in the right place. In short, you had better adapt
yourself to a changing condition or circumstance and behave correspondingly in
the right behavior.
Finally, worthy of mentioning is that, although socialization may differ
from culture to culture, the rules are invariably related to skills to help
reduce conflict and increase participation in school and work. Not
underestimating the importance of having excellent knowledge of a job or in a
field of study, you ought to also learn those essential social skills to become
successful in life. Academic proficiency and social flexibility should not be
considered as something like "black and white", you may just as well think that
the job market is largely in the color of "grey". |
