23、w all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have be

24、aten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages; hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage（野人） is good, but it is not to

25、 be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficientlyt his, after all, is what conquerors and generals have doneis not being civilized.

26、ind some way of setting their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won.

It is not exactly a bribe(贿赂 ),but is close to it. Al

31、l sorts of people are apple polishers, including politicians and people in high offices just about everybody. Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party, but failed. There are other phrases meaning the same thing as “apple-polishing”

A good example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England. The king got tired of listenin

35、g to the endless sickening flattery of his courtiers（朝臣） .They overpraised him to the skies, as a man of limitless power. He decided to teach them a lesson. He took them to the seashore and sat down. Then he ordered the waves to stop coming in. The tide was too busy to listen to him. The king was sa

36、tisfied.

43、al life, and did minimal work to pass courses. The second category of students were intelligent and hard workers who got good grades and were very focused on their studies. Surely would these intelligent and hard-working students find the great jobs before the other lazier class of students Not so.

44、Students are often shocked upon graduation that their qualifications are not as important as they once thought.

45、n interpersonal skills are absent. You can have great ideas, theories, and solve complex problems, but if you cannot effectively communicate in a persuasive and exciting manner by relating to your fellow humans, you will face an uphill battle in whatever challenges you encounter.
