Money or Career ?

An interesting blog talked about a funny conversation that someone asked the author what his ambition was. He answered money and was thought to be superficial. Others asked the same question again and he responded career. Now he was regarded as an aspiring people.

Communication is the charm of the language. Every word that used in communication can reflect the interlocutor’s personality, goals and wants. Why does the two similar answers make people have different thoughts? The reason is the words the author used. Although money and career seem to mean the same thing, they represent different sense of worth. Going after the money implies chasing material possessions while going after career means pursuing spiritual life. The distinction between them indicates two types of life. No wonder that the author was thought to be two kinds of people.

We can make a conclusion from the example that the understanding and appropriate using of words are technical and important in communication. An unsuitable word may let others misunderstand what you said but a proper word can obtain the praises. In my opinion, we have to use the words that can correctly express our ideas and thoughts to others since one can judge a communicator’s social needs even the sense of worth from just a word. So the communication is critical that it is a way to express yourself and let others understand you. Also, it is a way that let you to know other peoples.
