My Final Presentation

First of all, thank you all for giving me the honer of receiving the highest score on the final presentation.
I have to say, even though I already had many experiences in public speaking, I was still nervous. No matter how much I prepared, I always get nervous when speaking in front of the audience. But, the degree of nervousness was not as bad though. I think one of the reason was that I knew the subject pretty well.
I think there were still some rooms for improvement on my presentation. It wasn't as interesting as I'd like for it to be. I wonder how much effort did everyone spend on this presentation. I think for a 10 minute presentation, my efforts spent on it were about right. Maybe one more thing for the future, practice a couple of more times. As people always say, "practice makes it perfect".
Overall, I give myself a score of 8 out of 10 for this final presentation.

網路空間兩性溝通差異研究之初探

Communication between men and women have always been a hot topic that people are talking about. Personally, I think it's an art and it definitely takes some skills to do it well. The article I'd like to share here is the communication between men and women on the Internet. The interesting point is that even though on the Internet, you can pretend to be someone you are not because people don't see you and you are in the cyber world. However, for the most part, it seems there is not that much difference for how men and women talk on the Internet or in person.

More on communication in a marriage. The story in this article was true. The husband wanted to make his wife stop nagging, so he played a joke on her and became deaf and dumb. She did stopped for awhile until she found out this whole thing was a lie. She wanted a divorce.....

This then becomes ineffective communication, or nagging. Are you one of those who likes to nag? Perhaps you can learn some tips from this article.

結婚後如何溝通

I read this on the Internet and would like to share it with you. Communication is very important in our daily life. In order to have a good and long lasting relationship, effective and well communication is a must. Many of times, people don't communicate with the ones that they are most closest to because they feel that the other should know how they feel. But, no one will know how you feel or what you think unless you tell them. So, communication is the key to a successful relationship.

The Book - Crucial Conversations: Tools for talking when stakes are high

After reading the first 7 chapters of the book, Crucial Conversations: Tools for talking when stakes are high, I learned there are many skills to communicate effectively during crucial conversation. However, I think for me, the challenge will be to control my emotions first before applying these skills during a crucial conversation.

Before reading this book, I knew there are different ways to communicate to others about the same message. However, I've always thought direct communication is the best way because I say what's on my mind directly without having to tailor my thoughts. But after reading this book, I learned that there are skills that we can use to make the communication more effectively and thus achieve what we want more easily.

This book is a good tool book for me because I can relate to many examples mentioned in the book. The next step for me is to learn how to control my emotions instead of letting my emotions control me.

My thoughts after reading "How to be a Star Engineer"

After reading the article, How to be a Star Engineer, I partially agree with the statement in the article, "Stars, we saw, are made, not born." This article explains that anyone can be a star engineer by learning the nine work strategies listed in this article. I do not totally agree. I think to be a star engineer, 80% of it can be learning the nine work strategies, but 20% was born with it. I believe that everyone has different characteristics that cannot be changed just because you "learn" the strategies. Speaking from my own experience, somethings just cannot be forced, no matter how much strategies you learned.

A question that we are to answer for this assignment is if we know of anyone around us that practices the nine work strategies mentioned in this article. I can think of some people that practiced one or two of the nine work strategies mentioned here. But, I do not know anyone who practiced all nine. One person who I know that works with me now is a manager, not an engineer. He knows the right person to go to for different things. He often shares this idea with us that we should talk to different people and try to build up our networking. Another strategy I see he applied is that he would see things in a variety of perspectives. When we are discussing a problem, he would try to look at things from the other side's perspective to understand why things was done that way. He often encourage us to get different perspectives before we make our conclusion on the problems. The last strategy I see he applied is Show and Tell. He can make sure he delivers the right message to the right group of people. He can tailor his presentation based on different level of people. From what I have observed, I think he does these so well not only because of his years of experience, but also because the passion he has on the way he works. So, that being said, I think being a star engineer not only need to know the nine work strategies, but also need to have the passion. And I think the passion is something you were born with it.
