预测范文

According to a survey conducted among a group of people who were in the same college 10 years ago, those whose grade-point average was in the middle fifty percent, all become rich or managers of different fields, while not a single young man of the upper ten percent becomes an executive or boss.

One ingredient, among other things, is good interpersonal skills. With a wide circle of friends who can be trusted to provide information and resources, your chances of success are much higher. On the contrary, if you are competent in your profession, but have difficulty in getting along with your colleagues and even your boss, you can hardly survive the corporation. Another component is the ability to express oneself. In today’s world, what really counts is the ability to express oneself rather than technical competence or professional knowledge. The larger the organization of which you are an employee, and the fiercer the competition, the more important it will be that you know how to convey your thoughts and convince others of your ideas.

To sum up, according to my observation, academic brightness is only part of the story, the other factors are very important.

参考译文

根据一项调查，十年前在同一大学中学习的一群人中，那些平均学分处于中间50%的人们都变得富有，或者成为不同领域的经理。然而没有一个处于前10%的年轻人成了经理或老板。

诸多因素之一就是良好的人际关系。拥有广泛的朋友圈可以信任并提供信息和资源，你的成功机会就会更大。相反，如果你在职业上很有能力，但是和同事甚至老板相处困难，就很难在公司中生存。另一个因素是自我表达能力。在当今世界，最重要的是表达自我的能力，而不是技术能力或专业知识。你所处的公司越大，竞争越激烈，你知道如何表达你的想法并使别人信服的能力就越发重要。

总之，根据我的观察，学习优秀只是一个方面，其他因素也非常重要。
