　　The Qualities of the Cross-Century Talents

　　In order to survive and succeed in the 21st century, the cross-century talents should have a good education background, strong communication skills and an open mind, etc.

　　Because our society is characterized by the "knowledge economy", education background is becoming vital to all of us. We surely need to learn modern technology in order to succeed in our life. As the world economy becomes more and more globalized, we need to contact different people in different parts of the world. A good command of a foreign language and an understanding of cultural difference become increasingly important. As the world becomes "smaller", we need to be more open-minded to new ideas.

　　To become a cross-century talent, we need to bear in mind that learning is no longer a once-and-for-all experience, but an on-going process, or in other words, the idea of lifelong renewal will prevail.
