include a person's personality traits, social skills, ability to communicate with others,
language skills, personal behavior. With the help of soft skills, they can handle things
effectively. Hard skills are the technical skills and knowledge you need to do a certain
job. Depending on your field, your hard skills will be different. When you master soft
skills and hard skills, you have communication skills, expression skills, emotional
management skills, etc., which have become necessary skills in our career
development and in university. Based on having hard skills, using the energy of soft
skills can make us better. In"8 Soft Skills that Every College Student Should
Embrace", "Soft Skills to Help Your Career Hit the Big Time" and "31 Soft Skills
Every Student Needs and How to Get Them" these articles most helped me write my
essay, the three skills required for success are communication skills, teamwork skills,
and self-awareness skills.

The first soft skill you need to be successful is communication skills. In college
and career, communication skills are very important to each of us, because they can
help us effectively solve the problems we face and can also enhance our social skills.
Article “8 Soft Skills that Every College Student Should Embrace”, “Having good
communication is the only way students can work together to produce effective
solutions to the problems and challenges we face” Without communication skills,
there is nothing Interpersonal interactions and interpersonal relationships will be in a
state of isolation and indifference, which will bring great harm to work and life.
Communication will help students establish good interpersonal relationships in the
college, express their opinions, and be able to speak actively in class. Communication
skills are the bridge to build interpersonal relationships, communication is the best
way to promote our friendship with each other. Effective communication is the key to
our mental health and the value of our survival in society. Students who master
communication skills have the potential to promote growth and development. At the
same time, they can help students reduce their worries, be happy in their minds and
bodies, concentrate on learning, and successfully complete their studies to create a
good learning and living atmosphere.
Communication skills are also essential in a career because communication
skills help personal career development. Article "Soft Skills to Help Your Career Hit
the Big Time", "Both written and verbal communication skills are of utmost
importance in the workplace because they set the tone for how people perceive you".

If you do not know how to communicate with others, then you may only do your own
things at work, without communicating with colleagues. Focus on communication.
Supervisors can guide subordinates to work better; subordinates can better understand
and implement the importance and decisions of leadership through communication;
colleagues can communicate more closely and unite more closely. In this way, there
are many things you cannot do. You must have team spirit and the skill of
communicating with others in your career. If employees use communication skills,
then they will have more opportunities in their careers, which will enable us to make
decisions more rationally, efficiently and establish a common vision for the
organization. The success of a person depends on whether he has good
communication skills, which can make the interpersonal relationship in the workplace
harmonious and promote the efficient progress of the work. The work progresses
smoothly, and the outstanding performance will make the leader have a different view
of you, and to get promoted and succeed in your career.
For individuals, good communication enables us to live honestly, share with a
human touch, put people first, and fully enjoy freedom, harmony and equality in
interpersonal interaction. The use of soft communication skills by employees will help
them share their ideas and make suggestions with their bosses and colleagues at work.
This will help the development of the company and make employees better and
become the best in the company. Soft communication skills can also be used. Help
employees establish good interpersonal relationships with colleagues in the company,
Lei 4
and at the same time make the work more effective. The company's development is
inseparable from the success of employees, so interpersonal relationships and
communication will allow the company to develop rapidly and allow the company to
earn More benefits, a person’s success is inseparable from friends or colleagues
around us, because there are many things that we cannot accomplish by ourselves, so
we must learn to communicate so that we can express ourselves and build
relationships. If employees can use good communication skills, this will allow them to
get promoted and raise their salary, and to succeed step by step, becoming an
important person in the company. There is no fun without career communication, for
individuals, effective communication is conducive to establishing good interpersonal
relationships, coordinating with others and obtaining help and support from others,
reducing work pressure, doing their own work and learning, and becoming
harmonious in enhancing the sense of teamwork Team atmosphere. , To promote the
delivery of the overall efficiency of the group, and to effectively communicate with
the company, as the main means to improve the quality of decision-making, urge
company employees to coordinate and effective work, and help improve employee
morale, so communication in daily life, in universities, It is very useful in our career.
We cannot do without communication. Being good at communication will make our
lives better.
The second soft skill you need to be successful is teamwork skills. Teamwork
skills are built based on the team, the ability to play team spirit, complement each
Lei 5
other to achieve the maximum work efficiency of the team and the ability of other
members to coordinate and cooperate. At the university, we can use teamwork to
complete learning and share with classmates. Experience, in our career, we can use
teamwork to efficiently complete the work, bring benefits to the company, and
improve the work.” Article 8 Soft Skills that Every College Student Should Embrace”,
“Every college student should understand the importance of collaboration because it
helps them work in groups that are both virtual and physical. It includes leadership
values, empathy, and communication”. Teamwork will enable students to form their
own characteristics, show open communication, cooperation and trust, mutual
acceptance and understanding, and help students build good relationships and
effectively complete their work. If students use teamwork skills, they can enhance
their ability to cooperate and communicate with others and improve their
communication skills. They can also increase mutual friendship. The power of a team
is far greater than the power of a person. Emphasize personal work results outside the
team and highlight the overall performance and contribution of the team. Use
teamwork skills to help students be more united, increase friendships, and enrich
themselves in learning and life. Because of teamwork, we will not give up easily. We
will encourage each other to complete our work.
Team spirit is to minimize oneself; teamwork is the key to the success of the
project, the most important thing is the mutual trust between everyone in the team,
give your own back to the team. In "Soft Skills to Help Your Career Hit the Big Time"
Lei 6
by Daniel Bortz, " Success is the result of many people working toward a common
goal. When employees can synthesize their varied talents, everyone wins", Each of us
must move towards a common goal. If there is teamwork, we can achieve the
expected results and achieve success. Using individual behavioral advantages to
create a harmonious team can greatly improve team and individual performance and
help Employees can excel, get promoted, and help colleagues solve work problems at
work. For example, when a colleague needs help, but cannot be done by one person,
then he can help his colleagues to complete it. Obtain more benefits, help the
company to a higher level, and help the company's development. Having teamwork
skills can help the team work more efficiently. Teamwork can also play a big role in
life, such as building a building. Architecture cannot be completed by one person.
From designing a house to building, it requires teamwork to complete, so the benefits
of teamwork. Teamwork is important to each of us, if we keep the teamwork, we can
achieve success and have better development.
The third soft skill you need to be successful is self-awareness. It is precisely
because people have the self-awareness that people can self-control and regulate their
own thoughts and behaviors to improve them. It is because of self-awareness that we
can succeed in college and career. In “Time Management Tips for New College
Students “written by Ross Rosenberg and Greta Nielsen, “When you pay attention to
your thoughts, emotions, and the various manners in which you manage your
educational responsibilities, you will become increasingly more competent and
Lei 7
confident in the challenges that lie ahead for you”. When the self-awareness is mature
enough, it will be easier to deal with various problems, and you will be able to face
various challenges. Self-awareness exists in our minds. If we can manage our
emotions and thoughts, we can use this soft skill well. If students have self-awareness,
they will handle their interpersonal relationships and establish good friendships with
their classmates and teachers, which can help students be more confident and face
challenges in the future and will allow them to get a good GPA in college. Self-
awareness can help group students to deal with various problems in college and
improve their understanding, so that students can arrange learning and deal with
interpersonal relationships among college students, and at the same time make
students more independent and have their own ideas to deal with problems and
challenges, will make students better at college.
When you know and understand yourself can you know that a certain thing is
suitable for you and know what way to face it. Article"15 Soft Skills You Need To
Succeed When Entering The Workforce" " If you can only focus on one soft skill
early in your career, it should be developing a deeper self-awareness”. When you
focus on a soft skill, you will master and be familiar with this skill, which will make
you better at work. If employees have self-awareness, they will be more proactive at
work and work efficiency will be greatly improved. Will help colleagues to complete
various problems and solve problems, but also help the company to achieve better
development, earn more benefits, self-awareness can help you discover your own
Lei 8
advantages, value, and allow you to help the company's development, thereby
Promotion and salary increase will make you successful in your career. Self-
awareness can make us become more and more mature as we grow up. What we know
and what we experience will be different, so our thinking will change. In terms of
handling, we can also deal with it well. In daily life, we will also encounter various
problems. We need to have self-awareness to solve them. For example, if we must do
something, you must recognize whether it is right or wrong, and what benefits it will
bring you in the future. The disadvantage is that this requires self-awareness. When
you use self-awareness, you will understand what you want to do, which will make it
easier for you to deal with problems. Soft skills are our potential. If we can use them
well, we can deal with many problems, establish interpersonal relationships, and
achieve success in daily life, college, and professional life. The more skilled the soft
skills, the stronger the ability to deal with things.
The way to improve my soft skills is to master soft skills through learning, and
we need to keep trying and experience so that we can improve soft skills. Another
way to improve soft skills is through our own experience. To establish various
interpersonal relationships, discover each other’s hobbies, communicate with others
more, and treat others friendly, so that you can have what you need for soft skills. I
have learned from writing this essay is what soft skills are and what effect they have
on work and life. If we make good use of soft skills, we will be even better. Soft skills
play a big role in personal success. Soft skills can bring us a better life, enable us to
Lei 9
plan for the future, deal with more problems, and establish interpersonal relationships.
Enable ourselves to communicate with others and express ourselves Thoughts and
emotional management. Soft skills are the key to our lives. If we can make good use
of soft skills, we will achieve better development and success.
