NOW AND THE FUTURE

This article is about power shifting from “Great Men” to individuals in the new era, and of course, the Internet makes this happen. So, what can we do? We need English.

English speaking is important because human voice carries emotions, power, personality, latent meanings that are beyond language. Speaking a second language well builds up confidence and makes us want to learn more. Sounds, more than written words, tend to leave imprints on our minds. And have you noticed that salespersons need to use their voices to build rapports with clients?

But it is written words – the English words – that take us up and far. Since the Internet is dominated by English, and will continue to be for quite some time, it is understandable that those who know English can stretch out their senses to feel the world, and this is done through English reading. The article reminds us that if we want to be in the game, we CAN’T afford not to use the language well.
