In China, the ability to speak has also been valued by people for thousands of years. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a famous scholar named Liu Xie. In his book Wen Xin Diao Long, he spoke highly of the role of eloquence: "A word of argument is more important than the treasure of Jiuding; A three-inch tongue is better than a million good teachers. " During the Spring and Autumn Period, Mao Sui recommended himself to establish Chu, and his words were eloquent, forcing the king of Chu to form an alliance with him. During the Warring States Period, Su Qin lobbied the vassals, hung the seal of the six countries, and contributed to the alliance against Qin. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang went to Wu Dong, where he talked with Confucianism and persuaded Wu Zhu Sun Quan to unite with Cao, thus winning a great victory in Chibi. ...
In modern society, human life has reached the point where it is impossible to be immune, and the power of language and the role of eloquence are particularly important. Dale Carnegie said: "About 65,438+05% of a person's success depends on knowledge and technology, and 85% depends on communication-the ability to express one's views and the ability to inspire others' enthusiasm. "A person's language ability is a necessary condition to gain social recognition, boss appreciation, subordinate support, colleague love, friend help and lover intimacy!
Human society needs communication, and the most direct and effective way to exchange ideas and feelings between people is language.
A job often needs the cooperation of many people, and the integration of various information can be completed. Language is the most common, convenient and direct way of communication. Strong expressive ability, information can be accepted and understood by the other party smoothly and accurately, so as to achieve the purpose of communication. On the other hand, communication is interrupted and the work is difficult to succeed.
Eloquence is opportunity. If you are good at expressing yourself, you will have more chances of success than others. Numerous facts have proved that in today's society, people who are good at expressing themselves are the real winners.
Eloquence is a symbol of strength. Facing death, Churchill said humorously, "I am ready to meet God, but what is God ready to meet me?" The French revolutionary Dandong shouted before he died: "Take my head! My head is worth seeing. " On his deathbed, American novelist O Henry said, "Light all the lights. I don't want to go home in the dark. " In the face of death, these wise men can still maintain a detached and humorous attitude. What an extraordinary bearing!
A western philosopher said: "There is an achievement in the world that enables people to accomplish great things quickly and gain the understanding of the world, and that is his ability to make people happy." But talents may not be eloquent, but those who are eloquent must be talents, and they are excellent talents and rare generalists. To put it more clearly, eloquence is not mainly a verbal talent, but a reflection of a person's comprehensive quality and communication ability. A truly eloquent person, with high comprehensive quality and strong communication skills, can certainly be called a talent and an outstanding talent. It is precisely because eloquence has the characteristics of comprehensive ability that eloquence is the symbol of knowledge and the ladder of career success.
The art of speaking is related to the success or failure of life. A clumsy mouth, words that fail to convey meaning, will make people hit a wall everywhere and be unable to move; A glib tongue will give you a bright future. Good eloquence is your weapon. For a person, eloquence is charm, eloquence is love and eloquence is career.
