It is said that the best salesmen can sell refrigerators to Eskimos and combs to monks, which shows their eloquence. The means of communication of eloquence is far richer and more effective than literary talent: the use of intonation and the reasonable pause of speech make eloquence more infectious than literary talent.
First of all, from a personal level, people with good eloquence are more persuasive and can express their ideas more directly and accurately. A man without eloquence is like a phonograph without sound. Although turning there, it can't arouse people's interest. People with good eloquence are often easily respected, while those with poor eloquence are easily forgotten coldly. This is enough to show how important eloquence is to life. Eloquence is a technology and an art, and all great entrepreneurs with achievements have this art, including lawyers, teachers, actors, salesmen, etc., without exception.
Secondly, from the social level, the connection of modern society is getting closer and closer, which requires more and more active communication between people. In addition, the communication attribute of eloquence is that people directly act on people, and the communication attribute of literary talent is that people act on things and then act on people. Eloquence is more agile and efficient than literary talent, which is more in line with the requirements for people to exchange ideas and work in the information society. The intellectual era of "quick thinking but willing to talk" has become a thing of the past, and "eloquent" is more suitable for interpersonal communication in contemporary society. Excellent oral talents can communicate more efficiently, promote the further improvement of social division of labor and cooperation, and thus promote social development.
Moreover, eloquence is not lip service, but the precipitation and accumulation of one's own cultural quality. With excellent eloquence, you can often master what you have learned and convey it to others more vividly and wonderfully. Besides, if you are full of humor and wit, you can become a very popular speaker. In work and communication, there are many opportunities to speak publicly, which is both an opportunity and a challenge. If the heartbeat is tense, I don't know what to say and how to say it, no matter how high the literary talent is, I can't show it. What I encountered was embarrassment, what I left behind was regret, and what I lost was opportunity.
As Mr. Wang wrote in Oral Art: "In major international disputes, sometimes a word can turn an enemy into jade;" In diplomatic negotiations, sometimes a word can safeguard the honor and dignity of the motherland; In negotiations with foreign businessmen, sometimes you can earn billions of dollars in wealth in one sentence; When delivering a policy address, sometimes one sentence can excite the audience and increase their confidence. " Eloquence has incomparable advantages over literary talent. In today's society, the competition in the market is the competition for talents. The competition of talents is also the competition of eloquence. An eloquent person is more suitable for social needs than a person who writes thousands of words.
Eloquence without literary talent makes people feel inferior. If you can talk, you will become poor.
It's a pity that a gift without eloquence makes people think that a teapot cooks jiaozi.
