"Is the population with good literary talent also good?"
"Which is more important, eloquence or literary talent?"
"How important is a person's eloquence? Is it really a mouth to enter the society? "
With the rapid development of today's economy, people are constantly integrating into a highly competitive and fully cooperative knowledge economy era, and the spirit of teamwork and the necessity of communication are paid more and more attention. Scholars and eloquence play a very important role in both work and life, but when they coexist, which is more important?
In fact, this question itself, like the title of the debate we participated in, has no standard answer. Just like there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people, each of us has a different position and angle on the issue, and the conclusions we draw are naturally different.
Eloquence and literary talent are inseparable from language.
First of all, eloquence and literary talent are inseparable from language. However, in our public view, we often pay more attention to the cultivation of literary talents, while the exam-oriented education in our school is more about teaching students professional knowledge.
Mouth can reflect a person's comprehensive quality, because the basis of eloquence is cultural literacy, thinking ability, listening ability and knowledge range. The last question in the global questionnaire of CCTV dialogue program asks: "What qualities do you think the most competitive and promising people should have in the next decade?" Surprisingly, in the choices made by 26 business tycoons, such as Liu Chuanzhi, Wang Shi and Shi Yuzhu, without exception, words closely related to eloquence, such as communication ability, public relations ability and communication ability, appeared.
In history, there are countless examples of turning from weakness to strength and turning the corner to safety because of his eloquence, such as "Zhuge Liang quarreled with Confucianism", "Wang Lang was scolded to death in Wuxiang" and "the power of candle retired Teacher Qin". As Liu said: "The debate between one person is more important than the treasure of Jiuding; A three-inch tongue is better than a million good teachers. "
Therefore, from the perspective of communication channels, individuals and society, the timeliness and sociality of eloquence are undoubtedly more important than literary talent. Shao Shouyi, the first professor of oratory in China, hit the nail on the head and pointed out that "talents are not necessarily eloquent, but eloquence must be talents".
What we call "learning hegemony" is undoubtedly a student with good literary talent and ability to read. However, when they step into the society, they will find that what they have learned in school is rarely used in practical applications in the workplace. Moreover, the biggest feature of the era of globalization is the rapid change, and many disciplines and industries update and iterate very quickly. The knowledge or skills they learn now are often completely eliminated after three to five years.
It's a pity that we have been imprisoned for too long by the idea that we can travel around the world without fear. We unilaterally take the test scores as the standard of students' quality, and take getting high marks in exams and entering famous universities as the only standard of academic performance, which has caused many tragedies to families, schools and students.
The road to success is never unique. Ma Yun is the most successful businessman in contemporary China, but his success depends on his excellent eloquence besides fluent English expression. He was born in an ordinary family in Hangzhou, and his grades were not good when he was a student. Except English, he was particularly poor in science, especially math.
After becoming a teacher, because of his excellent eloquence, his classes are always the most popular with students.
In the initial stage, he conquered Japanese investor Masayoshi Son through a six-minute well-organized speech. At that time, Ma Yun went to find Masayoshi Son and waited downstairs for more than two hours. It is necessary to know that it is not just Ma Yun who is looking for Sun Zhengyi's investment, but also a company. Compared with Ma Yun's enterprise, everything is several floors higher than Ma Yun's enterprise. However, Masayoshi Son was moved by Ma Yun's planning. Ma Yun conquered him in six minutes, got the investment and founded the present Alibaba.
It can be said that those short six minutes made Ma Yun and Alibaba what they are today.
In this talented society, we should learn how to sell ourselves better, but how to sell ourselves better? Of course, you must rely on good eloquence. Good eloquence can make you stand out among many interviewers, let you communicate with leaders and customers more efficiently, and let you communicate with your family and children better.
