The most important attitude to succeed : Flexibility

 I think the most important factor that we should enhance for success is FLEXIBILTY. Of course, this attitude may have some weak points but it also has many strong points, too.

Above all, it can minimize conflicts which break up when discussing something or talking with someone. When we have flexibility we can get along with people very well and make a goal more easily. In the past, It was very important for leaders to behave powerfully when acting or speaking. But now, things changed. Today, being flexible or mild is more important than being strong.

Second, It can save us a burden that might has been one’s whole duty. That means we can share a lot of works to do seperately and make it easier to carry out. Not only time but also money can be saved as well.

Third, with it , we can be adapted to a new enviroment very quickly. As you know the world we are living today is changing extemely fast. So we have to cope with a new situation. Flexibility is very useful attitude in this changing world.

There are lots of other important factors that we should learn for our success. But I’m sure that you will never succeed without being flexible.

 


Can you guess what place this is?

 This place is famous for serving coffee with free cakes. Both of the headquarter and its chain place in Sin-Chon, Seoul. Many couples visit this place for drinking coffee, because not only it offers free cakes, but also ‘couple seat’. The couple seat has a partition and a sofa which has the high back so that couples have a comfortable time without caring other people’s eyes. Can you guess what place this is??

 


The Power of Diamonds

 When I decided to go to Pretoria, the capital of Republic of South Africa, I was warned of the danger of Malaria. I was said that Malaria was spreading easily and quickly in Africa, because the atmospheric temperature was abnormally higher than usual. However, It couldn’t change my mind to go there, so I went to Pretoria. When I arrived there, many people only wore diamonds on their underwears, because the sparkle of a diamond prevented from approaching of wild animals. My travel guide told me that actually a tiger attacked people, because they hadn’t worn diamonds. That anecdote made me scared. One day I was walking around in the national park. Suddenly something came out from the bush. It was a lion, so I took out my emergency diamond from my pocket and throw its sparkle on the lion’s face. the lion got frightened at the luster, ran back into the bush.
