interpersonal skills rather than professional skills that really counts in
your career. Interpersonal skills are nothing but the ability to be good
listener, to be sensitive toward other?s needs, to take criticism well.
People with skill in social relations admit their mistakes, and take their

share of blame, which is a mature and responsible way to handle an error.
That?s why many mediocre employees survive violent corporate upheavals
while people of great talent are being laid off. Sensitive in their dealings
with others, they are well liked everywhere. People with poor interpersonal
skills have trouble taking criticism. When confronted with a mistake, they
let their ego get in the way. They deny responsibility and became moody or
angry. They mark themselves as “prickly”. (Translated by Liu Shicong)

and drinking wines, grazing and milking cows, hoeing grasses and planting
flower-trees, going to churches for religious prayers and services on
weekends, playing musical instruments, dancing and singing on squares. The
fields in former times are still their present-day homes glowing with human
warmth. In such a way, each locality has evolved its own unique folk tales
and has transmitted its distinctive habits and customs.
