I want to talk about emotion quotient(EQ) this week. Everyone has its advantages and disadvantages and I know that my disadvantage is EQ. To be honest, I am not good at communicating with others.

       I have ever thought about this problem. I want to talk to others from the bottom of my heart. However, when the words come to the mouth, I swallow them again. A strange power prevents me from saying the words out. I think that it has something to do with my past. When I was young, I always said the tactless words so that my mother often criticized me. As a result, I became saying less and less  words gradually. What's more, when I got into the high school, I put too much time into the study and hardly communicated with others. What made me most regretful is my college life. The college life should be colorful and we should try to learn something else besides study. However, I also put all my hearts into study and hardly took part in the activities. All in all, I lose too much chance to practice my communication skills and now I begin to realize how important it is.

      We graduate student union had a party yesterday and I took part in it. I know I must take an active part in such parties now. I will apply for the job half a year later and I must practice my communication skills well. I force myself to join such unions to know new people and talk to them. In the beginning, it is very embarrassed.  For example, I didn't know how to reply to others in the party. I found an unknown person in the drinking-table and held up my glasses to drink with him. However, I didn't know what to say, let alone humor. I admire humorous people very much because they can bring fun to others and make friends easily. We need to establish friendship with others and this is the so-called "network circle". I know that I need more and more practice and I should never give up. I think that we can speak less but we need to let others see our earnest and enthusiasm. I am trying to make up my disadvantages. Just like my tutor says: we should not only do the task well but also speak it out and let others know how marvelous it is. When you enter into a higher stage, communication may be more important than just doing things.
