Silence Is Not Always Gold
“Silence is gold” is a popular saying in which many people have belief. To these people speaking too much is not a merit. However, if you always keep silent, you will probably miss many golden opportunities instead of obtaining the gold of silence.
Last week I read an article written by an office lady. The company where she worked had two kinds of offices: cubicle office and window office. As a new employee she worked in a cubicle office together with twenty colleagues. Two years later she still worked there but some colleagues who came later than her had moved into the window office. She felt confused. One day one colleague told her that window office wasn’t obtained without request. But believing that she certainly gained one if she did a good job the woman had never asked for it.
From the woman’s experience we learn that silence is not always gold. In the modern society one needs to speak his mind and speak for his own interests.
沉默不总是金
“沉默是金”是一个流行的说法,许多人的信念。对这些人来说太多不是一个优点。但是,如果你总是保持沉默,你可能会错过许多黄金机遇而不是获取黄金的沉默。
上周我读到一篇办公室女士。在她工作的公司有两种办公室:隔间办公室和窗的办公室。作为一个新员工,她曾在一家小隔间办公室同事一起二十。两年后她还是在那里工作但有些同事比她后来搬了办公室窗口。她感到困惑。有一天一位同事告诉她,窗的办公室不是没有请求获得。但相信她肯定获得了一个如果她干的非常好女人从未自找的。
从女人的经验我们知道沉默不总是金。在现代社会人们需要说出自己的想法,为自己的利益说话。
