Final formal class: readings to understand learning so as to prepare yourself for the 21st century

My friend, the COO (Chief Operation Officer) of one of the (few) technological tycoons based in Taiwan, once told me, to recruit a new member, she focuses on three things in the interview: Professional expertise, language and expressive ability, personality and character.  If you are still new in the professional field, she'd value the latter two. And you'd still have a very good chance to get in if you demonstrate your good character (integrity, attitude, and willingness to learn).  She herself was a law major before becoming an entrepreneur; it was the latter two characteristics that made her what she is today. This is a very inspiring sermon encouraging to you all, I guess. And Google said about the same thing:
