I think the most important skill to sucess is the ability to speak English. You may think that is strange. But for us, living outside the United States or other English using contry, the ability to speak or read English is very important. So if we have poor ability of English, we can not do our best in our jobs. I think so because most pioneering works are done in the United States. That is why many people in my country study English and take the TOEFL test to study abroad. You may think that to do excellent or creative jobs, the ability of English is not necessary. I agree with that. It is true that there is no direct relation ship between the ability of doing great jobs and the ability of speaking English. But I feel that in my country, people who can not study English also don't study other subjects. On the other hand, students who make best in English also make best in other subjects.

Then, I want to think about the most important skill to success for American. I think that is the ability to cope with others. That is, the ability to coorperate with other people in your company. I admit that other abilities such as skills to use a computer, skills to continue doing something, or skills to do jobs effectively are also important. But I think most important skill is still the ability to have good relations with your colleagues. We don't live alone in this society. You may think that the ability to cope with others is not needed for a scholler. I have also thought the same way. But I have noticed my mistakes in this summer. This summer, I have studied in the genome research center in my university as an undergraduate student. In the experience, I have learned much about the skills to do genome research. But the most important thing I have learned is that I can not do my research or experiment by myself. The most thing I have surprised is that variety of people are related to one experiment in the research.

So, to be successful in the world, I think we must talk with many people. And we must love one another. If you dislike or hate someone, what will you do? You don't talk with him or her? I think that is not a best way because if you ignore him or her, what is your benefit? You can not get anything by ignoring. And I have noticed recently that the most effective way to have good relations with others is to keep smiling. If you are in an uncomfortable state, try smiling, then you can talk with your friends in comfortable state and you will success in the future.
