What is a very important skill a person should learn in order to be successful in the world today? Choose one skill and use specific reasons and examples to support your choice.
There is numerous very important skill a person should learn in order to be successful in the world today, such as independence, interdependence, tolerance and so on. In my opinion, the interdependence is the most important skill among all of these. The argument for this view goes as follows.
In the first place, everyone knows that today's society is a model, cooperative society. It is not an isolated, self-sufficient economy like several hundred years ago. All the social duty need many people work together to finish them. So the interdependence looks like more important than any other skill. Everyone knows that ever the simplest computer program need many programmers¡¯ works. Every people's work is only a very small part of the whole project. Everyone need depend on the other people's project to finish his or her work.
In the second place, people who depend on the other people's work can give themselves a shortcut to success. For instance, when you prepare a party, you need a lot of food. If you prepare all the food by yourself by using the row materials, it will cost you the whole day or more. Such as preparing a pizza by using the flour, vegetable, meat and cheese, you should spend several hours for only a pizza. But if you buy it from the supermarket or order it from the restaurant, it only costs you several minutes. Therefore, depending on the supermarket or the restaurant, you can save a lot of time to prepare the party. It makes you more convenient to prepare the party too.
From what I have discussed above, I think that interdependence is a very important skill a person should learn in order to be successful not only because society is a cooperative and model society, but also because depending on others gives people a shortcut to success.
