People’s
intellectual, personal and social development are highly influenced by the
knowledge acquired by comprehending the past. With this understanding, I
believe that it is beneficial for people to comprehend the past in order to be
able to tackle obstacles facing us now and in the future. This is because
people can learn broaden knowledge by understanding the past, which
enables people to strengthen interpersonal
skills and enjoy a better quality of life in terms of working environment.
Firstly,
the broadened knowledge by comprehending the
past makes people to strengthen interpersonal skills. Understanding the ability
of socializing and the potential role of the understanding level of the past is
necessary to substantiate this view. For instance, I engaged in a variety of
academic studies during my university years. In addition to my major, I was interested in
studying other cultures and history. This is was
extremely useful in helping me to build an interpersonal skill in later years
in society. In one situation, I joyfully continued talking to my clients who
were from the China after meeting. In these conversations, we discussed about interesting chinses past
historical events of China and I carefully
talked to about my thinking thoughts about the events. My clients were very
impressed by my deep understanding about past events. Also, my bosses were
pleased to listen to my opinions on past historical events. In this regard, I
argue that the broadened knowledge by
comprehending the past allows people to strengthen interpersonal skills.
Secondly,
the broadened knowledge by comprehending the
past makes people to enjoy a better quality of life in terms of working
environment. Interestingly, a renowned social scientist in South Korea
published an article in “The Korean Herald” last Tuesday which claims that the knowledge learned by
understanding the past enables people to intensify their competitiveness in
society. The article argues that the 83 percent of Korean leading
recruiters prefer people who have wise knowledge learned by understanding the
past. The recruiters show a such a
tendency because they tend to be more careful and analytical. In the long run,
the careful mindset and analytical thinking enhance work performance. This is
because they countlessly endeavor to prevent mistakes
which taken were made in the past and
find a beneficial solution based on past
successful achievements, which result in job
promotion and help people to enjoy a better quality of life in terms of working
environment. I thought of this report because the results of the survey
resonated with my thoughts.
To sum up, I believe that it is beneficial for people to
understand the past in order to be successful people’s
life because the broadened
knowledge by comprehending the past makes people to strengthen interpersonal
skills and enjoy a better quality of life in terms of working environment.
Consequently, the importance of my view cannot be underestimated for the
reasons I have mentioned above.
