• 1. You are the message. (Para.3)• How to understand?
• Reference Words:• to have a positive effect, • unspoken languages, • eye contacts, facial expressions, body
movements, gesture• by doing so, • to communicate with, • to be sincere
I think I can have a positive effect on other people by using unspoken languages, such as eye contacts, facial expressions and body movements. When I talk with others, I always look at them through the eye instead of looking at the ceiling or somewhere else. By doing so, they can tell that I am communicating with them and that I am sincere. Sometimes, a nod, a smile, or a gesture (e.g. thumb up, which means praise) can also make other people feel comfortable.

key
In my opinion, the key to being the best person is try to be oneself. In order to do that, I tend to see myself in perspective. In other words, I am so clear about my strong and weak points as to grow more and more into a fullness of my own. At the same time, I try to think as much of others as of myself. Only in this way can I have much chance to create a peaceful climate of campus living around me; only in this climate can I stand better chances of learning from others; and only through such a mutual learning will I enjoy more love and support from the people I cooperate with in society.
3. Use your eyes. (Para.10)
If you lose proper eye contact, you are at risk of losing the happiness of your whole life.
